Hi all,

The phrase I was looking for was "conversion rate" in the original email.

I'm assuming that the MySQL data footprint will be much smaller as we're rolling up the data and thus N HDFS entries roll up into M MySQL entries where N is greater than M by an order or magnitude or more.

Thanks,

Hi all,

It's my understanding (based on the image in http://hadoop.apache.org/chukwa/docs/r0.3.0/design.html) that the structured data lives in HDFS forever.

When data is migrated from HDFS to MySQL for use in HICC, how does the MySQL disk usage compare to the HDFS disk usage? That is, if I'm using 10 TB of data to store my data in HDFS, what will it be when it moves over to HDFS? Is it 2x, 10x, or ???

I'm getting requests for disk size estimates from the IT guys handling our staging area and I'm not really sure how to gauge disk usage for MySQL.

Thanks,
Kirk
