Hardware requirements for simple node hadoop cluster

2014-12-07 Thread Amjad Syed
Hello, We are trying to do a proof of concept at our Data center with two node hadoop cluster. We have two (dual socket quad core ) HP proliant DL 380G6 servers we want to utilize for this test. Can any one please recommend the minimum HDD and RAM requirements for both servers ? Thanks

for balanced conf you need (per core) 1-1.5 2 GB 7200 SATA hdd for hdfs (in JBOD mode, not RAID) 3-4 GB RAM ECC reserve 4GB RAM for OS better to use separate hdd or usb stick for OS e.g. for 16 cores you can use 16-24 2GB hdds 64 GB RAM (if planing to use Apache Spark put 128 GB) On Sun,
