Hello all, I am looking forward to build a 5 node hadoop cluster with the following configurations per machine. --
1. Intel Xeon E5-2609 (2.40GHz/4-core) 2. 32 GB RAM (8GB 1Rx4 PC3) 3. 5 x 900GB 6G SAS 10K hard disk ( total 4.5 TB storage/machine) 4. Ethernet 1GbE connection I would like the experts to please review it and share if this sounds like a optimal/deserving hadoop hardware configuration or not ? I know without knowing the actual use case its not worth commenting, but still in general I would like to have the views. Also please suggest if I am missing something. Regards, Praveenesh
