Hadoop is using OneFS, not HDFS in our configuration. Isilon NAS and the Hadoop nodes are in the same datacenter but as far as rack locations, I cannot tell.

This is will be disk bandwidth limited. On a 4-node cluster with 2 local SATA on each node you should easily read 400MB/sec in aggregate. When you are running the Hadoop cluster, is the Hadoop processing co-located with the Ilsilon nodes? Is Hadoop configured to use OneFS or HDFS?

Is it reasonable to expect constant average speeds of 150-200mb/sec on such setup? Forgive me if the question is loaded but we're Hadoop cluster with HDFS served via EMC Isilon storage. We're getting about 30mb/sec with our machines and we do not see a difference in job speed between 2 node cluster and 4 node cluster.
