How to handle large amount of documents stored in a database?

I am working on one application where user can scan/upload documents. Application processes those documents and store it in the database. We are using MySQL database. Right now we are having more than 200,000 documents in the database. So we are facing difficulties maintaining such large number of documents. What can be done for this issue? Can 'Big data' be a solution?

The common practice is to just store the path to the document in the database and put document in some location in the disk.
