What is the Heartbeat in Hadoop? |
|
Answer» The heartbeat is a communication link that runs between the NAMENODE and the Datanode. It's the signal that the Datanode SENDS to the Namenode at REGULAR INTERVALS. If a Datanode in HDFS fails to send a heartbeat to Namenode after 10 MINUTES, Namenode assumes the Datanode is unavailable. |
