Question 1

What does heartbeating refer to in the context of Hadoop?

  • Periodic messages for task scheduling
  • Heartbeat detection for NodeManagers
  • Failure detection for TaskTrackers

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the system monitors its components.

Question 2

True or False: If a NodeManager fails to send a heartbeat, the ResourceManager will not detect any issues.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the role of communication in failure detection.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how heartbeating can impact both speed and accuracy in identifying failures.

Question 2

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

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