Hey all,
Has anybody tried some HBase pounding on ext4 from the new 2.6.28 kernel?
Steven from Computer World saw 30% boost in write speed with MySQL [1]. I

Hi JD.
you might also want to try experimenting with different I/O schedulers
(moving it from the default CFQ to deadline for example). I don't know
how 'smart' hadoop is, but it could make a huge difference as well.
see the bottom of

for how much of a effect it had in mysql benchmarks.
