Hi all,

I'm reading the excellent Tom White Hadoop guide and there is this sentence
written :

"At the time of this writing, Hadoop is not suited for running across data
centers"

Do you know if it's still the case ? Do you know what are the technical
reasons behind that ? We are planning to test MapReduce in several
scenarios, one being multiple data centers (one in France and the other one
in Germany with special network lines). Wouldn't that be possible ?

Thanks,
Antonio
