On a cluster running MapReduce v1 (MRv1), a TaskTracker heartbeats into the JobTracker on your cluster, and alerts the JobTracker it has an open map task slot.
What determines how the JobTracker assigns each map task to a TaskTracker?

  • A. The amount of RAM installed on the TaskTracker node.
  • B. The amount of free disk space on the TaskTracker node.
  • C. The number and speed of CPU cores on the TaskTracker node.
  • D. The average system load on the TaskTracker node over the past fifteen (15) minutes.
  • E. The location of the InsputSplit to be processed in relation to the location of the node.

Suggested Answer: E 🗳️
The TaskTrackers send out heartbeat messages to the JobTracker, usually every few minutes, to reassure the JobTracker that it is still alive. These message also inform the JobTracker of the number of available slots, so the JobTracker can stay up to date with where in the cluster work can be delegated. When the
JobTracker tries to find somewhere to schedule a task within the MapReduce operations, it first looks for an empty slot on the same server that hosts the
DataNode containing the data, and if not, it looks for an empty slot on a machine in the same rack.
