Well this depends on very much on your plans.
If you have hundred of boxes than you should run jobtracker and ndfs name node not on the same machine, but I run it normally on one machine. Also I run datanode and tasktrackers at the same time on the same machine. Reading the index from the ndfs is a bad idea since it is to slow, but there was a discussion how to improve that and there will be a solution soon.

I suggest to read this:

It's obvious that high speed networks will be of great value. Are there any ideas on how to setup the system. I mean how should I distribute the index? Should ndfs servers be isolated from other jobs [e.g. JobTraker, Distributed
Search Server or even fetching]?

Thanks.

Take many and cheap boxes (ata or sata hdds) but invest in your network.

Hi,
Currently I set up MapReduce on a 4 node cluster. Everything seems
working.
I was able to run Distributed Search also. However, I wonder
whether there
is a recommended cluster architecture set up that will boost the
performance. Or are there any previous work on cluster systems?

Thanks in advance.
