    For evaluation purposes only we would like to use our one compute host as a DB2 database host as well.  Is that possible?

    Thanks.

    We didn't test that scenario.

    Theoretically it is ok to use one compute host as DB2 database for PoC, but the concerns is about resource scheduling

    1. How much resource will be left there after the DB2 is running.

    2. There is no way for DB2 to tell Conductor how much resource it used.

    This will impact the task scheduling of spark applications, so I'd not recommend to do this in production environment.
