Hi All, I am new to hadoop and I am thinking of requirement don't know whether it is feasible or not. I want to run hadoop on non-cluster environment means I want to run it on commodity hardware. I have one desktop machine with higher CPU and memory configuration, and i have close to 20 laptops and all are connected in same network through wire or wireless connection. I want to use desktop machine as name node and 20 laptop as data nodes. Will that be possible?
Extend to it is there any requirement for data node in terms of system configuration? Now days mobiles are also coming with good RAM and CPU, can we use mobiles as a data node provided Java is installed in mobile? Thanks Ramakrishna S
