How do i make sure 2 datanodes are being used.Or why does performance fail with 2 datanodes on same machine even when i work on a powerful machine?Because before tweaking hadoop with those mapped properties to improve performance, i want know if i get any performance from 2 datanodes(since i am working on a powerful server)Any of your advices would be helpful.
