Apache Hadoop allows scaling to massive proportions and has been in use with tech giants like Google and Facebook. I decided to start running a Hadoop cluster myself using the following guide as a started. https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/solutions-google-compute-engine-cluster-for-hadoop/blob/master/README.md This version installs Hadoop locally but uses the Google App Engine and Google Cloud Storage  and allows basic scaling/clustering.
