Hi, I am a newbie on Hadoop and have a quick question on optimal compute vs. storage resources for MapReduce.
If I have a multiprocessor node with 4 processors, will Hadoop schedule higher number of Map or Reduce tasks on the system than on a uni-processor system? In other words, does Hadoop detect denser systems and schedule denser tasks on multiprocessor systems? If yes, will that imply that it makes sense to attach higher capacity storage to store more number of blocks on systems with dense compute? Any insights will be very useful. Thanks, Satheesh
