Eli Collins resolved HADOOP-3978.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Out of date
> Using regular desktops as hadoop slaves
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-3978
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3978
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Wish
> Environment: 1) Windows XP/Vista
> 2) MAC OS/X, Linux
> Reporter: Niels Basjes
> Priority: Minor
>
> In many companies there are a lot of desktop systems (usually XP) running all
> day without doing really much work.
> The basic idea of this wish is similar to what SETI@home did in a screen
> saver: Turn the idle time of many desktops into a lot of hadoop slaves.
> My wish is that an easy to deploy package (MSI package?) is created that
> turns an XP system into a hadoop slave.
> The primary task of such a system is being a user desktop. So the hadoop
> software on such a slave will have restrictions on how many system resources
> (memory, cpu, network) it can use.
> Having such a feature will make it viable for small companies to start using
> hadoop for tasks and experiments.
