In this episode, we take a closer look at the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), a key part of the Hadoop framework that helps store and manage huge amounts of data. We’ll explore how HDFS spreads data across many affordable servers, making it both scalable and cost-effective. You’ll learn about its main components, like the NameNode and DataNodes, and how they work together. We’ll also discuss features that keep your data safe and ensure it moves efficiently. Join us, we’ll touch on the challenges of managing large data clusters and what the future might hold for HDFS.
