Hi Mike, You really really don't want to do this. Long story short... It won't work. Can you elaborate? Are you talking about the bonded interfaces or about having a separated network for interconnects and external network? What can go wrong there? Just a suggestion.. You don't want

Evert, From my experience, hadoop loathes swap and you mention that all reduces and mappers are running (8 total) and from the ganglia screenshot I see that you have a thick crest of that purple swap. If we do the math that means [ map.tasks.max * mapred.child.java.opts ] + [ reduce.tasks.max *
