Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 95

Which file system uses a MapReduce framework to run applications and a NameNode for managing the file system?

Answer options

• A. New Technology File System (NTFS)
• B. Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)
• C. Network File System (NFS)
• D. Common Internet File System (CIFS)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is specifically designed to work with the MapReduce programming model to process large data sets across clusters of computers. In contrast, NTFS, NFS, and CIFS are traditional file systems that do not incorporate MapReduce frameworks and do not use a NameNode for management.
