HBase Standalone against multiple drives

Hi,

"In standalone mode, HBase does not use HDFS -- it uses the local
filesystem instead" but is there a way to give it more than one directory
to write on?

Or is pseudo-distributed mode the only way to do that?

Thanks,

JM

Thanks JD. My goal was to test the disks with and without RAID and
compare... So I will go with pseudo-distributed mode.

The local filesystem implementation doesn't support multiple drives
AFAIK, so your best bet is to RAID your disks if that's really
something you want to do.

Else, you have to use HDFS.
