I want to buy a new desktop computer to start learning and doing Hadoop development. I’m going to start with the Hortonworks Sandbox.
Can anyone give me some advice about what hardware to buy? Or maybe some online sources for such information?
I expect to do this for work soon so I’d like a setup that leaves some room for growth beyond the Sandbox.
Are there any pitfalls I should definitely avoid? Are there any must haves? I generally prefer Linux as an operating system, but I’m not rigid about it.
