Can Hadoop run on Virtual Machines in Solaris

["Palikala, Rajendra (CCL)" <RP...@carnival.com>]

Hi,

We are thinking of alternate technolgies for our ETL process to Datawrehouse. I was interested in Hadoop. But had a question. Is it possible to build a Hadoop cluster on virtual machines in the same physical box. Has anyone in the group implemented Hadoop on VM's. Please advise.

Thanks,
Rajendra

Before going into jira and looking for issues to improve Hadoop, you
should probably first get acquainted with Hadoop as a user.

As suggested earlier already, reading the original Map Reduce paper
should help already.

The next step would be to go to the Hadoop web page and work through
the tutorial. Also look at the examples that come with the Hadoop
distribution.

I have run a Hadoop test cluster on Solaris Zones using OpenSolaris.
