Hi All,
Is it possible to make a node just a hadoop client so that it can
put/get files into HDFS but not act as a namenode or datanode?
I already have a master node and 3 datanodes but need to execute
puts/gets into hadoop in parallel using more than just one machine other
than the master.
Anything on the LAN can be a client of the filesystem, you just need
appropriate hadoop configuration files to talk to the namenode and job
tracker. I don't know how well the (custom) IPC works over long
distances, and you have to keep the versions in sync for everything to
work reliably.
