nutshell: the hadoop ecosystem tends to integrate with mapreduce or 
hdfs. hdfs is the hadoop implementation of a distributed file system 
interface. there are a handful of others - 
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HCFS - including one for swift. so where 
you might access a file in via hdfs:///... you can also swift:///... for 
processing by mapreduce or other frameworks in hadoop.

best,
