title: Azure Hadoop and Entity Framework
body: <p>I am stating a new project that needs to be portable and in some scenarios will have 100's millions of entities.</p>
  
  <p>Now with Azure getting hadoop that of course got my attention for the big data scenario. But I also have the small data scenario under 1 million rows.</p>
  
  <p>Entity Framework code-first is they way I see designing this but needing hadoop in the mix of course may complicate things (Entity Framework of course been used to give simpler storage providers for the smaller data sets)</p>
  
  <p>Now the question is does anyone have experience in this mix?  </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone recommended if this is a good approach or not, if not is there a better way?</p>
