We are striving to make each release as good as possible but there are still a set of
limitations that you should be aware of. The following issues are known to exist in the 0.6.0 release of Whirr.
- The Hadoop namenode and the jobtracker must share the same machine. WHIRR-337
- The HBase thrift server can only run on a machine that it's also running a different HBase role like hbase-master or hbase-regionserver. WHIRR-342
- The "jclouds.aws-s3.endpoint" property is needed in order to use BlobCache with Amazon AWS in a region besides us-east-1. See WHIRR-349 for more details
