HBase Standalone against multiple drives

2013-07-16 Thread Jean-Marc Spaggiari
Hi, In standalone mode, HBase does not use HDFS -- it uses the local filesystem instead but is there a way to give it more than one directory to write on? Or is pseudo-distributed mode the only way to do that? Thanks, JM

The local filesystem implementation doesn't support multiple drives AFAIK, so your best bet is to RAID your disks if that's really something you want to do. Else, you have to use HDFS. J-D On Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 8:55 AM, Jean-Marc Spaggiari jean-m...@spaggiari.org wrote: Hi, In standalone

Thanks JD. My goal was to test the disks with and without RAID and compare... So I will go with pseudo-distributed mode. JM 2013/7/16 Jean-Daniel Cryans jdcry...@apache.org The local filesystem implementation doesn't support multiple drives AFAIK, so your best bet is to RAID your disks if
