Hi Jun,
Sorry, I didn’t get your question properly….. :-( Are you thinking in terms of Virtual Machines running on same physical server? Are you thinking about CPU core to Hadoop process mapping? As per my understanding, Hadoop doesn’t have intelligence of different cores (ideally application should be independent of hardware details) It is possible to run multiple instance of DataNode in same physical server, provide the configurations are different for each DataNode process.

Hi, I have 2 computers each of which is double-core CPU. The 2 computers are datanodes and another computer is the namenode. Now, I want to increase the number of datanode but no more computers available. Can I use the 4 cores of the 2 computers to be 4 datanodes? -- Best regards! Jun Tan
