Hello all

I decided to take a shot at Hadoop as a lot of my career adventures deal with manipulating large data streams. While Hadoop usually runs from a cluster of Linux boxes, for self-experimental purposes, some of the distros  have included Hadoop or work- alikes( Apache Bigtop for Ubuntu being one example which insists on  a 64 bit box) for single node activity, but it’s not clear as to whether you need a 32 or 64 bit computer, as after two days of googling the subject, I find the documentation to be  quite vague. Does anyone here have experience with this beast? Any suggestions, links, etc would be appreciated.
