The document discusses integrating Hadoop with relational databases. It describes scenarios where reference data is stored in an RDBMS and used in Hadoop, Hadoop is used for offline analytics on data stored in an RDBMS, and exporting MapReduce outputs to an RDBMS. It then presents a case study on extending SQOOP for optimized Oracle integration and compares performance with and without the extension. Other tools for Hadoop-RDBMS integration are also briefly outlined.
