It's possible that some components are offered with 32 bit versions. However we live in a world of very interdependent software components. It takes a bug or two in the 32 bit version that's not getting any dev attention because it's 32 bit to bring your project to a grinding halt. Better to expend energy , time , or money to start at 64 bit and deal with hard problems rather than asinine problems.<o:p></o:p></p><p>/opinion<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Jan 15, 2015 3:16 PM, "Clive DaSilva" <<a href="mailto:cdasilva@iprimus.ca">cdasilva@iprimus.ca</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Hello all<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I decided to take a shot at Hadoop as a lot of my career adventures deal with manipulating large data streams. While Hadoop usually runs from a cluster of Linux boxes, for self-experimental purposes, some of the distros have included Hadoop or work- alikes( Apache Bigtop for Ubuntu being one example which insists on a 64 bit box) for single node activity, but it’s not clear as to whether you need a 32 or 64 bit computer, as after two days of googling the subject, I find the documentation to be quite vague.
