According to the CAP theorem, a distributed system can guarantee at most how many of 1 point
the following three properties: Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance?
1
2
3
None
In the context of CAP theorem, which of the following best describes "Consistency"? 1 point
Every request receives a response, without guarantee it contains the latest data
All nodes see the same data at the same time
The system continues to function despite network partitions
All writes are acknowledged immediately
What happens in a distributed system when a network partition occurs, based on the 1 point
CAP theorem?
The system becomes faster
The system loses all data
A choice must be made between consistency and availability
None of the above
What is the default block size in HDFS (as of Hadoop 2.x)? 1 point
64 KB
128 MB
256 MB
1 GB
What is the default block size in HDFS (as of Hadoop 2.x)? 1 point
NameNode
JobTracker
DataNode
TaskTracker
What is the role of the NameNode in HDFS? 1 point
Executes MapReduce programs
Stores actual data
Manages the file system namespace and metadata
Compresses the data blocks
In HDFS, if a DataNode fails, what happens to its data? 1 point
It is lost permanently
NameNode replicates it from other nodes
System crashes
JobTracker handles the recovery
ZooKeeper is primarily used for which of the following in a distributed system? 1 point
File storage
Data analysis
Coordination and configuration management
Data visualization
What is the purpose of the "Znode" in ZooKeeper? 1 point
