Hi!

Thanks, that sounds helpful, as that is a large group of applications.

I can provide a 32 GB / 4c+4t box as a testing environment, if it
helps.

apache@ looks very limited to the webserver (if you review
the last few month of posts).

For a start, use ports@. If ports@ gets too much hadoop-related
posts, you can always ask postmaster@ to add a list, like
freebsd-hadoop@ or something similar.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Teams/postmaster#How_to_create_a_new_list.3F

says:

What we need

    Terse (one-line) description of list.
    More verbose description of list.
    Any deviations from these defaults:
        Max message body size: 200KB
        Not moderated
        Open (subscription not required for) posting
        Public archives
        "Official" name of list "foo" is "freebsd-foo"
        List is a technical list (vs. freebsd-chat@)
        List is for discussions (vs. freebsd-announce@)
        No designated non-postmaster "moderator" or "list administrator"
