Hi Guys, I'm currently writing a POC based on hbase and I spend more time on writing a ui than on writing the hbase functionality. So I'm very excited about exploring HBase further and doing some serious performance and scalability tests and see if we can use it as core technology instead of the time/resource intensive Gigaspaces.
My question: I'm currently using HBase and I also want to use the HDFS directly to store files. If the HBase server(s) is installed, can I directly access the HDFS of these servers or is it better to set up a seperate Hadoop server for running HDFS.
