Hi, I want to know can we use SAN storage for Hadoop cluster setup ? If yes, what should be the best pratices ?
Is it a good way to do considering the fact "the underlining power of Hadoop is co-locating the processing power (CPU) with the data storage and thus it must be local storage to be effective". *But also, is it better to say “local is better” in the situation where I have a single local 5400 RPM IDE drive, which would be dramatically slower than SAN storage striped across many drives spinning at 10k RPM and accessed via fiber channel ?* * * Thanks, Praveenesh
