Do you mean multiple VMs on a single server are a no-no? Or do you mean running Hadoop on something like Amazon EC2 for production is also a no-no? With some pointers to background if the latter please ... Just for my education. I have run some (test I guess you could call them) Hadoop clusters on EC2 and it was working OK. However I didn't have the equivalent pile of physical hardware lying around to do a comparison ... which I guess is why EC2 is so attractive. Ta Liam
