title: How to Integrate hadoop cluster with application server?
body: <p>I have various application servers (Ex. web application) and I also have been playing with hadoop with Hbase, Impala, Hive etc. I can get results that I am looking for using command line or using web interface such as Hue. </p>
  
  <p>Now how does one integrate Hadoop as backend with current application replacing backend solutions such as MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle etc.?</p>
  
  <p>p.s I know many are batch processing with hadoop but HBase does give some near real-time analytics. Even if its batch processing, I want to give the users to start some analytics and come back and view the results in my own frontend application.</p>
