<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Seeing the new activity about new clusters for 2017, this sparked a thought in my mind here. Beowulf Cluster vs hadoop/spark</p>
<p>In this day and age given that there is the technology with hadoop and spark to crunch large data sets, why build a cluster of pc's instead of use something like hadoop/spark?</p>

<p>Happy New Year</p>
