title: Distributed alternatives to hadoop
body: <p>I have a curious question. </p>
  
  <p>What are some distributed and scalable <strong><em>alternatives to hadoop</em></strong>. Am looking for some distributed file systems like <strong>HDFS</strong> which can be used as a cheap and effective storage and would like a data processing engine(batch/real-time) on top of it. I know Spark can be a good alternative. But I would like to use this system as a file archive which is distributed,fault tolerant and scalable.Is there any apt solutions ? Suggestions are welcomed. Thanks :)</p>
