The right tool for the job
Clearly, the role of the queryable archive is natural for data-at-rest platforms such asHadoop. But the same could be said for various NoSQL platforms if they've been architected for scale and speed on archiving particular types of data. Likewise, don't count out your RDBMS for queryable archiving of structured data.

Depending on your requirements, you might deploy one or multiple archives for different big data sets, with different underlying platforms optimized for each. Whatever you decide to do, the key criterion is whether your big data platform(s), deployed as archives, support fast execution of all the expected types of queries that might be performed against all the data stored and managed there.
