Hi,
When I tested the performance of a 11 node hadoop cluster(private nw) for the write scenario with several threads, I noticed that the time for each write increases linearly(what ever the file size may be). Actually I'm running these threads as a single process in the system where namenode is running. I'm getting inconsistent results when I run this suite each time. The results are fluctuating. What might be the bottlenecks? I think running this in parallel by spawning multiple shells will give consistent result. But running these in the same system will give exact results?? Any ways to measure the performance correctly? Appreciated any help in this. Thanks, Gokul
