I'm in the process of configuring our machines for a HBase deployment. Based upon the documentation I've read so far, a ZooKeeper Quorum is required with Hadoop running (of course).
However, to what degree do I need to separate the servers? At this point I have a total of 12 servers with the possible configuration: 4 x Hadoop (1 Master, 3 Slaves) 4 x HBase 4 x ZooKeeper Should the HBase be installed with the Hadoop instances? i.e.: 8 x Hadoop and HBase (giving me 8 instances of Hadoop and HBase as opposed to 4 of each) 4 x ZooKeeper Or is it typical practice for HBase to be installed on an environment separate to Hadoop?
