Here's an extremely naïve ballpark estimation: at theoretical hardware speed, 
for 3PB representing 1PB with 3x replication

Over a single 1Gbps connection (and I'm not sure, you can actually reach 1Gbps)
(3 petabytes) / (1 Gbps) = 291.271111 days

So you'd need at least 40,000 1Gbps network cards to get that in 10 minutes :) 
- 
(3PB/1Gbps)/40000<http://www.google.ro/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=(3PB/1Gbps)/40000&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=2WRHUNWtGIWo0QW52oDYDw>

The actual number of nodes would depend a lot on the actual network 
architecture, the type of storage you use (SSD,  HDD), etc.

Subject: One petabyte of data loading into HDFS with in 10 min.

Hi Users,

Please clarify the below questions.

1. With in 10 minutes one petabyte of data load into HDFS/HIVE , how many slave 
(Data Nodes) machines required.

2. With in 10 minutes one petabyte of data load into HDFS/HIVE, what is the 
configuration setup for cloud computing.

Please suggest and help me on this.

Thanks&Regards,
Prabhu.
