Answer / Ankit Sachan
A NameNode is the central component of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). It manages the file system namespace, regulates access to files, and maintains the metadata such as permissions and replication information. In a single-cluster scenario, there should only be one active NameNode per cluster.
