I think the main difference is the locality-of-reference you get with
Hadoop, which allows you to distribute processing as well as data.
This can be important in intensive data crunching exercises, where
having the data you are working with right there on a local disk,
rather than coming over the network is important. But distributing
processing in this way may not be important to you.
