Just out of curiosity, how does it work if I am not using HDFS?
Ah. I was presenting the typical case. In reality, the "system" directory may be in any of the supported file systems, provided that it is available to the entire cluster. For example, you could use an NFS directory for the system file system. In general though, the best aggregate bandwidth will be from HDFS.
