Udaya,
You can use non-local disk on your hadoop cloud, however it will have
sub-optimal performance, and you will have to tune accordingly.
If its a shared drive on all of your nodes, you need to create different
directories for each machine.
Suppose your shared drive is /foo then you would need to set up a /foo/name
of node/data for each machine in your cluster.
The drawback is not only I/O traffic and constraints but you'll have to tune ZK
and watch out for timing issues as your disk i/o is your constraint.
Definitely not recommended.

Subject: Doubt: Regarding running Hadoop on a cluster with shared disk.

Hi,
I have an account on a cluster which is having a file system similar to
NFS. If I create a file on one machine it is being shown on all the machines
in the cluster. But hadoop will work on a cluster of machines, where in ,
each machine has a disk of its own. Can someone please help me use hadoop on
my cluster.
Thanks,
Udaya.
