What is the ideal hardware configuration for running Hadoop Big Data analysis?

Question

Is there an ideal machine configuration to run Hadoop or we can run it on any hardware?

Answer 1

The ideal setup for running Hadoop operations are machines that have a dual-core configuration (physical, preferably) and 4GB to 8GB servers/nodes which use ECC memory. Focusing on good memory specifications is important because HDFS running smoothly is very highly reliant on memory efficiency and robustness.
