Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a failure detection system in a NodeManager for a hypothetical Hadoop framework. Discuss how heartbeating can optimize this system.

💡 Hint: Consider how heartbeating can impact both speed and accuracy in identifying failures.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate the fault tolerance of a Hadoop implementation that relies solely on heartbeating without re-execution of tasks. How could this system fail?

💡 Hint: Think about scenarios where a task fails but the NodeManager still sends heartbeats.
