So far as I know, Hadoop Common can startup with one of three modes(standalone, pseudo-distributed and full distributed). In full distributed mode, we can involve many machines with different platforms. So even if Harmony Select can work well to support this mode with two machines, we can't ensure it can work well to support dozens of machines. I agree that Hadoop is a good server application for Harmony Select testing and we can try with it to see its capability. But seems it is not so easy to define our milestone criteria based on it ;-) > > Wait for any kindly suggestions, opinions and comments. > > -- > > Best Regards! > > Jimmy, Jing Lv > -- Best Regards, Jim, Jun Jie Yu
