No - these must be independent considerations. A coordinator may be much
slower than an MDS node in handling a single file. I say this because this
has been the experience in the industry so far - with small files the HSM
can not at all keep up.

Why a coordinator should be on a slower node than a MDS ?<br>
Coordinator is a Lustre service like other Lustre services so it will
be on a right hardware<br>
<br>
Do you mean a coordinator is not part of the Lustre cluster ?<br>
