The document provides answers to 10 questions about Hadoop and MapReduce concepts. Key points summarized:
- The NameNode manages the file system namespace and regulates client access to files, tracking data location across DataNodes.
- When accessing a file, the NameNode provides a client with the block IDs and hostnames of all DataNodes containing that block.
- The NameNode determines a DataNode is active via heartbeat mechanisms.
- Clients first connect to the NameNode for reading or writing data to/from HDFS.
- MapReduce involves specifying map and reduce functions - map processes key/value pairs to generate intermediate pairs, reduce merges intermediate values with the same key.
