What is a rack awareness algorithm and why is it used in hadoop?
Answer / Satender Kumar
A rack awareness algorithm is a technique used in Hadoop to optimize data placement across datanodes by considering the physical network topology. The goal is to place data on different racks (physical rows of servers) within the same data center to minimize inter-rack communication, thereby reducing network latency and improving overall system performance.
