HDPCD Certification practice test

[#1]

I am practicing on AWS instance for HDPCD test. I have taken m3.xlarge instance.

Hadoop services are not started by default. I just executed start-all-services.sh. It is taking very long time. I waited for more than 15 mins. It is still going on.

Is the speed of m3.xlarge instance enough? Or should I go for higher?

Response on the terminal is fine.

Hi Vidya,

It is really not a big enough instance. The exam uses c3.4xlarge, which is overkill. You should get decent performance somewhere in the middle - maybe try a c3.2xlarge.
