It would probably work better in a large company. We spent a couple weeks evaluating Hadoop in our small startup and came to the conclusion that we couldn't afford to have such an infrastructure team, and I imagine most startups considering Hadoop are in a similar boat.

We use hadoop at foursquare and it was set up and maintained by 1 person. It was a real bear of a job but he got it done.

It's definitely doable. It's just a lot of work.
