Which component of Hadoop is responsible for resource management?

  1. HDFS

  2. MapReduce

  3. YARN

  4. ZooKeeper


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) is the component of Hadoop responsible for resource management.

What is the role of a NameNode in HDFS?

  1. Stores data blocks

  2. Manages file system metadata

  3. Performs data processing

  4. Handles client requests


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The NameNode in HDFS is responsible for managing file system metadata, including file and directory information.

  1. JobTracker

  2. TaskTracker

  3. ResourceManager

  4. NodeManager


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The JobTracker in Hadoop is responsible for scheduling and monitoring MapReduce jobs.

What is the purpose of a DataNode in HDFS?

  1. Stores data blocks

  2. Manages file system metadata

  3. Performs data processing

  4. Handles client requests


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

DataNodes in HDFS are responsible for storing data blocks.

Which Hadoop component is responsible for executing MapReduce tasks?

  1. JobTracker

  2. TaskTracker

  3. ResourceManager

  4. NodeManager


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

TaskTrackers in Hadoop are responsible for executing MapReduce tasks.

What is the role of a ResourceManager in YARN?

  1. Allocates resources to applications

  2. Manages application execution

  3. Performs data processing

  4. Handles client requests


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The ResourceManager in YARN is responsible for allocating resources to applications.

Which Hadoop component is responsible for monitoring and managing the health of the cluster?

  1. JobTracker

  2. TaskTracker

  3. ResourceManager

  4. NodeManager


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

NodeManagers in Hadoop are responsible for monitoring and managing the health of the cluster.

What is the purpose of a NameNode checkpoint in HDFS?

  1. Stores data blocks

  2. Manages file system metadata

  3. Performs data processing

  4. Handles client requests


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

NameNode checkpoints in HDFS are used to periodically save the file system metadata to a persistent storage.

Which Hadoop component is responsible for handling client requests and providing access to HDFS?

  1. JobTracker

  2. TaskTracker

  3. ResourceManager

  4. DataNode


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

DataNodes in Hadoop are responsible for handling client requests and providing access to HDFS.

What is the role of a TaskTracker in Hadoop?

  1. Allocates resources to applications

  2. Manages application execution

  3. Performs data processing

  4. Handles client requests


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

TaskTrackers in Hadoop are responsible for performing data processing tasks.

Which Hadoop component is responsible for scheduling and monitoring YARN applications?

  1. JobTracker

  2. TaskTracker

  3. ResourceManager

  4. NodeManager


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The ResourceManager in YARN is responsible for scheduling and monitoring YARN applications.

What is the purpose of a secondary NameNode in HDFS?

  1. Stores data blocks

  2. Manages file system metadata

  3. Performs data processing

  4. Handles client requests


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Secondary NameNodes in HDFS are used to periodically merge the file system metadata edits from the NameNode into the fsimage file.
