Hi all,

This issue may be considered fixed once the new storage cluster has been
announced. I¹m copying the announce:

‹‹‹‹‹

Dear FIWARE Lab user,
Few months ago our Big Data team started working on deploying a new global
instance of Cosmos. The current "old" one is reaching its limit, both in
storage and computing capabilities, so moving to a large and powerful
cluster was a need.
Regarding this new instance, we have decided to split storage and
computing into two different clusters. That's why I'm glad to announce the
storage one is ready to be used. Nevertheless, some remarks must be done:

* It must be considered as a beta. Errors and missconfigurations may still
arise.

* It is only suited for storage purposes. The software stack only
comprises HDFS, not MapReduce nor any other computing tool.

* No ssh access has been enabled. From the current "old" cluster we have
learn most of people used the ssh access to install their own software or
allocating vast ammounts of data in the local file system, which is a very
bad behaviour since the clusters are always shared. Thus, the only allowed
access is through WebHDFS REST API, which is protected by OAuth2.


This cluster, and the upcoming computing one, will replace the current
"old" cluster in the short time, based on a modern Hadoop distribution.
Nevertheless, for now it is not mandatory to use it. Moving to this
cluster is only recommended:

* If you are interested on pure storage (i.e. no analytics on the data,
for instance, if you are using Cygnus for building historics about Orion's
context data)

* and, as much, the consumption of your data is done through WebHDFS REST
API.


It must be said those of you moving right now to this cluster will enjoy a
larger HDFS quota. If you are interested, please sent an email to

Any doubt you may have, do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
Cosmos Big Data team
