Can anyone comment on the performance of "Cluster Compute Instances" of EC2 which they have released lately and do provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet which was the main issue with the previous instances. They have customized these instances for low latency inter-node communication
We are plannin to start a project and want to evaluate if going production with Cluster Compute instances is fine or as suggested in the thread below Rackspace would surely be a better option ? - Gaurav ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of George P.

Jim, I'd be interested in hearing your experience with Whirr when you try it. I've been testing it the last couple of days and I haven't been able to get the out-of-the box hadoop recipe to work when it cames up (the namenode doesn't have any datanodes configured although they are all up and running). Maybe you have better luck? I've tried the Whirr 0.3.0 distro that comes with CDH3 as well as the recent 0.5.0 tarball from the apache mirrors. I encountered issues with the recipes included in either one. The only thing I haven't tried yet is building from the latest source. -GS On Sat, Jun 4, 2011 at 9:48 PM, Jim R.
