He Yongqiang commented on HADOOP-5945:
--------------------------------------

>>The big issue is what do you gain by running >1 TT and DN per node, except on 
>>testing, where you want to give the master nodes more of a workload?
Talked with one friend. And he said hdfs is used in the production environment 
as a catoon video store. And only one datanode server per node can not fully 
utilize the node's resources.
>>virtual machines
Good suggestions. One datanode server per vm, i guess it need special care to 
avoid all replicas of one file block be put on the same physical machine.
I think letting mutiple tasktrackers running on a same node is not a good 
desicion due to the memory problem. But if only the hdfs is used, why not 
supporting multiple datanodes on a single node? 
>>DataNodeCluster
Hairong, thanks. I will try it. Agreed with Jakob, we should put it in the 
documentation. But it seems DataNodeCluster is only used for test?

> We should support multiple datanodes/tasktrackers running at a same node, 
> only if they do not share same port/local fs dir etc. I think Hadoop can be 
> easily adapted to meet this.  
> I guess at first and the major step is that we should modify the script to 
> let it support startting multiple datanode/tasktracker daemons in a same node.
