I have a 3 node test franken-cluster that I'm abusing for the sake of learning. The systems run Ubuntu 15.04, OS X 10.11.6, and Windows 10 and though far comparable each has quad-core i7 between 2.5 and 3.5 GHz and 16GB of RAM. Two have SSDs and the third has a 7200RPM SATA III drive.
1) Is there any reason mixing operating systems with the cluster would be a bad idea. Once configured it seems to run ok. 2) Will performance disparities affect reliable ability or performance within the cluster? 3) Are there ways to configure disparate systems such that they can all perform at peak? The bug or issues I have run into is a queue showing files that can't be remove or listed. Screen shots attached below. I don't know if it's a mixed-OS issues, something I did while torturing the systems (all stayed up, this time), or just a weird anomaly. Regards, Joe Trying to empty queue seen in background [image: Inline image 1] but the flowfiles cannot be deleted.
