I'm really happy to see that Haman integration into Bigtop is making
very steady progress. In fact today, for the first time, I was able
to build packages for Hama and play with it (thanks to Victor!).
That, of course, made me curious about a couple of things wrt.
to Hama deployment/usage. I'm CCign Edward for his advice
(Edward, feel free to CC hama mailing list if you think its appropriate).
So, here's what I'm curious about:
* What does Hama *really* depend on in Hadoop? It seems that
given its architecture the only dependency should be on HDFS
(since it essentially replaces Mapreduce layer) and common.
* I see that there's a way of running hama's own Zookeeper service.
Is there a way to utilize an existing instance of Zookeeper?
* Hama on YARN -- does it still need its own services running (BSPmater,
Groom) or does it become a 100% the same type of application that
mapreduce is on top of YARN ?
* What's the best way to run as many 'example' BSP jobs as possible?
Is there an equivalent of hadoop-examples.jar ?
Thanks,
Roman.
