I ran the put command on 3 of the nodes simultaneously to copy files that were local on those machines into the hdfs.

What'd you do for the tests? Was it a single stream or a multiple stream test?

So is ~ 1GB/minute transfer rate a reasonable performance benchmark? Our test cluster consists of 4 quad core xeon machines with 2 non-raided drives each. My initial tests show a transfer rate of around 1GB/minute, and that was slower that I expected it to be.

Thanks,

Hey Sugandha,

Transfer rates depend on the quality/quantity of your hardware and the quality of your client disk that is generating the data. I usually say that you should expect near-hardware-bottleneck speeds for an otherwise idle cluster.

There should be no "make it fast" required (though you should reviewi the logs for errors if it's going slow). I would expect a 5GB file to take around 3-5 minutes to write on our cluster, but it's a well-tuned and operational cluster.

As Todd (I think) mentioned before, we can't help any when you say "I want to make it faster". You need to provide diagnostic information - logs, Ganglia plots, stack traces, something - that folks can look at.

But if I want to make it fast, then??? I want to place the data in HDFS and
reoplicate it in fraction of seconds. Can that be possible. and How?

I would suppose about 2-3 hours. It took me some 2 days to load a 160 Gb

Hello!

If I try to transfer a 5GB VDI file from a remote host(not a part of
hadoop
cluster) into HDFS, and get it back, how much time is it supposed to
take?

No map-reduce involved. Simply Writing files in and out from HDFS through
a
simple code of java (usage of API's).
