multi tenancy with cassandra

[Adaryl "Bob" Wakefield, MBA]

Since Cassandra doesn't store it's data in HDFS, is it possible to install 
Cassandra on the same boxes that are running Hadoop? What I'm really asking 
is, does HDFS just take over the entire disk or just a segment? Is there 
something I'm missing in the understanding of HDFS? I've been thinking about 
it like DOS. Is that an incorrect analogy?
