Then you're hardly using commodity hardware anymore. While jobs like that probably actually work on Hadoop, I'd imagine a problem like that might be better suited for specialized systems.

IME, most installations where Hadoop is "successfully" used it's running on pretty high-end machines. "Commodity hardware" really means standard hardware, not cheap hardware (as opposed to buying proprietary appliances and mainframes).

  Or it could be a company with 30M records a month that buys 100 x $200 servers off eBay and is still unable to query their data.

    I'm not sure what your point is with a hypothetical situation. Why wouldn't the be able to query their data? All I'm saying is from my actual experience with real users, it's best to build a Hadoop cluster with high quality hardware if you can.
