I have got it running stably under OpenSolaris - but I have no benchmarks for it so I cannot help you there.
One thing to note is that some parts of the Hadoop infrastructure have a C native implementation which would need to be compiled against Solaris to gain the performance benefits they give. Says the documentation: "Hadoop native library is supported only on *nix platforms only. Unfortunately it is known not to work on Cygwin and Mac OS X and has mainly been used on the GNU/Linux platform." There is no indication if this works on Solaris but maybe someone else on the list knows? HTH -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Popescu [mailto:popescuadrian2...@yahoo.com] Sent: Mittwoch, 17.

Also are there any benchmarking results for HBase > 0.19 available ? On the wiki page on Performance Evaluation I found results only up to this version. Also, numbers for several region servers would be useful to see the scalability. Thank you, Adrian
