Provisioning a physical host into an existing HDFS/Yarn cluster

Hi,

I recently got a powerful physical host, usually I get used to provisioning
the host with VM's and add them to my existing HDFS/Yarn cluster(consists
of 300+ VM's), now I'm exploring Docker based approach, so I want to know
if there're some best practices I can follow down the path.

Well, since worker nodes are usually using all of their RAM and CPU,
plus generating an awful lot of I/O, you ***DEFINITELY*** shouldn't do
a cluster based on VMs.
Or you could go all the way making sure that all VMs could handle the
100% load but that would be pointless work that would amount to the
same processing power as the physical hosts without virtual machines.

Or maybe I'm missing a critical point here?
