title: Is it efficient to store images inside MongoDB using GridFS?
body: <p>I know how to do it, but I wonder if it's effective. As I know MongoDB has very efficient clusters and I can flexibly control the collections and the servers they reside on. The only problem is the size of the files and the speed of accessing them through MongoDB.</p>
  <p>Should I explore something like Apache Hadoop or if I intelligently cluster MongoDB, will I get similar access speed results?</p>
