Hello Hadoop Users,

Now that we have our cluster up and running ( mostly ) the question has come up about much time will be required to run the system.

We have Hadoop running on 64 nodes, 40TB of storage with only 6 or 7 Hadoop users right now. The number of users is likely to grow as more of our researchers begin to use the system but will likely not be more the 20 users.

I am trying to get a sense of how much of an FTE ( Full Time Employee ) I should plan on for managing the system. We also run MPI and CUDA on the cluster and from a system administrator point of view these are fairly low overhead, but I have no concept yet of what the time commitment to Hadoop will be.

Thanks,
