Loaded question indeed. How are you measuring that 30mb/s? Is that per machine / NIC? HDFS throughout? Some other metric?

Is it reasonable to expect constant average speeds of 150-200mb/sec on such setup? Forgive me if the question is loaded but we’re Hadoop cluster with HDFS served via EMC Isilon storage. We’re getting about 30mb/sec with our machines and we do not see a difference in job speed between 2 node cluster and 4 node cluster.
