Depends on the load. We have huge cluster running, 4 x 2 TB disks, Core 2 Duo 2.5 Ghz, 8 GB RAM, with 60 nodes, using it mostly for binary cold storage of photos, with very low access rates, and moderate write rates.
Second cluster, is Core i7 Quad (hyperthreaded) 3.0Ghz , with 16GB RAM, 4x2TB drives 20 nodes. Powering yfrog.com metadata, lots of writes and lots of reads, user facing. The cost per node is about $1200.00 (commodity desktop mobo). -Jack On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 4:13 AM, Michael Segel <[email protected]> wrote: > > And even that recommendation isn't right. ;-) > > I think Sandy Bridge and SolarFlare are changing some of the design > considerations. > >> Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 10:32:58 +0200 >> Subject: Re: Hbase Hardware requirement >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> >> http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2010/03/clouderas-support-team-shares-some-basic-hardware-recommendations/ >> >> "4 1TB hard disks in a JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) configuration >> 2 quad core CPUs, running at least 2-2.5GHz >> 16-24GBs of RAM (24-32GBs if you’re considering HBase) >> Gigabit Ethernet" >> >> HTH, >> Tim >> >> >> >> On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 10:11 AM, Shahnawaz Saifi <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Dear friends, >> > >> > Please suggest a standard hardware configuration for hbase cluster which >> > is >> > going to be used to pull and store a lot of data. >> > >> > -- >> > Thanks, >> > Shah >> > >
