 The phrase High Performance Computing equipment makes me think of
 infiniband, fibre all over the place etc.
 
 
 Hadoop doesn't need that, it runs well on standard pc hardware - i.e. no
 special hardware you couldn't find in a standard pc. That doesn't mean
 you should run it on pcs that are being used for other things though.
 
 I found that hadoop ran ok on fairly old hardware - a load of old
 power-pc macs (running linux) churned through some jobs quickly, and
 I've actually run it on people's office machines during the nights (not
 on Windows). I did end up having to add an extra switch in for the part
 of the network that was only 100 mbps to get the throughput though.
 
 Of course ideally you would be running it on a rack of 1u servers, but
 that's still normally standard pc hardware.

question about hadoop and amazon ec2 ?

2009-02-15 Thread buddha1021

hi:
What is the relationship between the hadoop and the amazon ec2 ?
Can hadoop run on the common pc (but not server ) directly ? 
Why someone says hadoop run on the amazon ec2 ?
thanks!
