Tom White commented on WHIRR-332: --------------------------------- +1 > Need to specify different instance size/type depending on role > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: WHIRR-332 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-332 > Project: Whirr > Issue Type: Bug > Components: service/hadoop > Affects Versions: 0.5.0 > Reporter: Paul Baclace > Assignee: Andrei Savu > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > Attachments: WHIRR-332.patch, WHIRR-332.patch, WHIRR-332.patch, > WHIRR-332.patch > > > When setting up Hadoop, whirr.hardware-id is used in the configuration to set > a single instance size/type for both nn,jt and dn,tt roles, but there are > workloads that benefit from having a different instance size/type for each > role. This need is even greater for ensembles with Zookeeper and HBase. > Without this, a small Whirr cluster underutilizes resources. > whirr.hardware-id should be a used to set a default instance size/type, and > variations like whirr.${role}.hardware-id could be used to set size/type more > specifically. This is a simple, obvious, and easy to implement mechanism to > provide this functionality. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
