NameNode


NameNode is mater daemon in the HDFS and every client request for read and write goes through NameNode. If NameNode performance decreases, then it will eventually lead to the application performance decreases because NameNode will respond slowly to any request made to it. Let's look into how we do profiling for NameNode performance.

NNBench

NameNode is the heart of the Hadoop cluster. Any file operations in HDFS first goes through the NameNode. NameNode, apart from managing file operations, keeps track of all file locations on DataNodes. So it is important that you test NameNode performance against chosen hardware configurations. NNBench is one such tool that can help you in evaluating that. Based on the NNBench output, you can decide on the optimal configuration of NameNode as well. The following is the command to run NNBench (Ref: Hadoop 3 Apache Document):

hadoop jar <HADOOP_CLIENT_INSTALLATION_PATH>/hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient-<HADOOP_VERSION>-tests.jar nnbench...
