Can you elaborate? Are you talking about the bonded interfaces or about having a separated network for interconnects and external network? What can go wrong there? > > Just a suggestion..

We have a single headnode that is used as a SPOE. However, I'd like to change that on our future production system. We want to implement Kerberos for authentication, and let users interact with the cluster from their own machine. This would enable them to submit their jobs from the local IDE. The only way to do this is by opening up Hadoop ports for the world, is my understanding: if people interact with HDFS they need to be able to interact with all nodes, right? What would be the argument against this? Cheers, Evert > > > Sent from a remote device.
