What do you mean by metadata in HDFS? Where is it stored in Hadoop?..

Answer / Awdhesh Kumar Gautam

Metadata in HDFS refers to data about the data, including information such as file name, creation time, last modification time, permissions, ownership, and block location. In Hadoop, the NameNode manages all metadata for the HDFS cluster. The metadata is stored on the NameNode's local filesystem, in a database called the EditLog, and on secondary NameNodes if available.
