The purpose of this guide is to help you setup swift on a hadoop cluster. This would let you execute swiftscripts on the cluster allowing you to go beyond the limitations of MapReduce style workflows.
In current configurations Swift runs in persistent coasters mode on Hadoop. What this means is that, there are two separate Swift entities required to execute a swift run on a hadoop cluster, the Swift-coaster-service which deals with managing workers on the Hadoop cluster and the swift runtime which executes swiftscripts via the Swift-coaster-service.
