Hi all, I'm about to embark on a mystical journey through hosted web-services with my trusted friend hbase. Here are some questions for my fellow travelers:
1) Has anyone done this before? If so, what lifesaving tips can you offer? 2) Should I attempt to build an hdfs out of ec2 persistent storage, or just use S3? 3) How many images will I need? Just one, or master/slave? 4) What version of hadoop/hbase should I use? (The hadoop/ec2 instructions[1] seem to favor the unreleased 0.17, but there doesn't seem to be a public image with 0.17 at the ready) Thanks in advance for any advice, I'm gearing up for quite a trip :) [1] http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/AmazonEC2 -- Jim R.
