Hello Users,

I have installed DataTorrent on my Laptop having 4GB RAM.
Hadoop-2.7.3 (local mode) and Kafka Is also installed and running.

DataTorrent is properly installed and running on my system but when I launch an App the computer get too slow. Even Switching Tabs takes minutes, mouse hangs, every action takes a long time to response. This happens only after I launch an application in datatorrent , otherwise my laptop runs fine. I believe this is because of low RAM as the requirement to run DataTorrent is 8GB.

1. Is there a way with which I can speed up the process in my 4GB RAM laptop.?

2. Will it make a difference if I set Hadoop cluster on two laptops having 4GB RAM each and then run DataTorrent on it.?

For now, I am able to run Kafka-to-HDFS-Sync app, I am also getting output in HDFS, but I am not able to visualise graphics, I am working on how to get it but the slowness of the machine is making it impossible for me to work on DataTorrent.

Please someone assist me.

Thank You.

Akshay,
4GB is usually on the low side.8GB should be used. You would get 4GB to work, but that will need you to fine tune a lot. Two laptops with 4GB each will work once you set up Hadoop in non-local mode.

thanks for your response Amol, 
I would try to fine tune if it helps me in working from my laptop only . on local mode itself. Can you please suggest me ways to increase performance on 4GB ram laptop for datatorrent.

thanks .

Akshay,
It will be a lot of work as opposed to upgrading to 8GB. You will need to go through all local process (Hadoop inclusive), reduce their memory footprint and see if that hurts/help for your particular app.

I understand that upgrading to 8GB will be much easier option, but my laptop doesn't support increasing RAM, I'll have to buy a new machine, that's why i am ready to take the hard way.
