Tadas, "Hadoop Operations" has pretty useful, up-to-date information. The chapter on hardware selection is available here: http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/databases/hadoop/9781449327279/4dot-planning-a-hadoop-cluster/id2760689

And trying to figure out what would be a good HW infrastructure (Disks – I/O‘s, RAM, CPUs, network). I cannot actually come around any examples that people ran and found it working well and cost effectively. If anybody could share their best considered infrastructure. Would be a tremendous help not trying to figure it out on our own. Regards, Tadas
