Cluster planning continues smoothly: David Schoonover has begun writing architecture and dataflow documentation. Cluster setup began in earnest mid-month when the Operations team delivered 10 machines from a 2011 Cisco hardware grant. Andrew Otto and David set up the systems, user environments, and software dependencies. They began begin testing Cassandra, Hadoop, and Hbase, to evaluate which best meets the storage needs of the cluster's batch and stream processing systems.
