Why slaves limited to 4000 in hadoop version 1?



Why slaves limited to 4000 in hadoop version 1?..

Answer / Hemant Kumar Singh

In Hadoop version 1, the limit on the number of slaves (or DataNodes) was set to 4000 due to practical limitations in managing such a large number of nodes. This restriction was primarily imposed by the NameNode's ability to handle and maintain metadata for an extensive number of files and blocks effectively.
