Hi,
I am using cloudera setup to launch a cluster with hadoop on Amazon. Sometimes, the master hadoop node hangs and we have to restart the job from the job. Did anyone face similar problem and resolve the issue.
Thank you.

Amazon EBS has a nice baseline+snapshot backup capability that uses S3. This should have a light footprint (in…
