Introduction
In this chapter, we will configure high availability for Namenode and Resourcemanager, as both of them are single points of failure. We will also walk through the various options of configuring high availability, cache configuration, storage policies, and snapshots for backup.
Note
In this chapter, HA is from the Hadoop perspective only and there is no HA at Linux level. The Hadoop cluster is not the same as the Linux cluster. If users are finding it difficult to write scripts or configurations, all these are available at my GitHub: https://github.com/netxillon/hadoop.
