I don’t think you want to use Lustre on Hadoop. You would want to use Hadoop on Lustre (i.e. - Lustre replaces HDFS). And Lustre does run on commodity hardware. Sites usually run Lustre on generic x86_64 servers. I know some that use Dells, and I am using Appro/Cray blades. Sometimes sites will use more specialized storage hardware (like DDN or NetApp), but that is not required for Lustre. -- Rick Mohr Senior HPC System Administrator National Institute for Computational Sciences http://www.nics.tennessee.edu _______________________________________________ lustre-discuss mailing list lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/listinfo.cgi/lustre-discuss-lustre.org
