Hi All,

I was wondering (network traffic considerations aside) is it possible to run a 
TaskTracker without a DataNode. I was hoping to test this method as a means of 
scaling processing power temporarily.

Are there better approaches, I don't (currently) need the additional storage 
that a DataNode provides and I would like to add additional processing power 
from time-to-timewithout worrying about data loss and decommissioning DataNodes.

Thanks, Dan.
