> While working on it, I realized that this won't necessarily improve the performance, because the resource requirements for Hama is different from Hadoop. This change would move the mapper tasks closer to the input as in Hadoop. But in case of Hama tasks continue running on that machine throughout its lifetime. If in search of data-locality, the tasks get scheduled such that the communication between the nodes are costlier than normal (e.g. tasks resident in separate racks), then this change would degrade the performance. Doesn't data locality improve the performance of Hama? Praveen
