How does HDFS Index Data blocks? Explain.
Answer / Rehan Ahmad
In HDFS, data is split into blocks and distributed across multiple DataNodes. The NameNode maintains a block-level metadata index of these data blocks to quickly locate them when needed. This index contains information such as the block ID, the DataNode where it resides, its size, and its replication status.
