I would say this is quite a difficult choice. I've seen that our cluster could use more bandwidth, but it wasn't to the nodes that made the big difference, it was getting better switches that had better backplanes - the fabric made the difference. I've also seen some workloads where job design is

Price the cost of 1GbE->10GbE vs. more nodes, using data from monitoring your cluster during peak load. It should be clear which is a better value. Russ On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 4:05 PM, Mathias Herberts < mathias.herbe...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 01:02, Matei Zaharia > wrote

Hadoop, like other parallel networked computation architectures is I/O bound, predominantly. This means any increase in network bandwidth is "A Good Thing" and can have drastic positive effects on performance. All your points stem from this simple realization. Although I'm confused by your #6.
