During normal operation DataNodes send heartbeats to the NameNode. The default heartbeat interval is three seconds. If the NameNode does not receive a heartbeat from a DataNode in ten minutes the NameNode considers the DataNode to be out of service. The NameNode schedules creation of new replicas of those blocks on other DataNodes.

Though it can be executed in a single machine, its true power lies in its ability to scale to several thousands of systems each with several processor cores. Hadoop is designed in such a way that it distributes data efficiently across various nodes in the cluster. It includes a distributed file system that takes care of distributing the huge amount of data sets efficiently across the nodes in the cluster. The report consists of status and diagnostic
