Hi - I'm a complete newbie to hadoop, and am wondering if it's appropriate for configuring a bunch of older machines that have no other use, for use as a storage cluster on an otherwise windows network, so that my windows clients see their combined disk space as a single large share?
If so, will I need additional software to let the windows clients see them (like Samba does for a single machine)? We don't have a lot of linux experience in our office, but probably enough to get this going if it's not too complex; mostly with Ubuntu and Fedora. If hadoop isn't well-suited to this use, or there is something better, I'm open to suggestions....
