Monitoring Hadoop Resource Utilization
Monitoring the resource utilization of a Hadoop cluster is essential for understanding its overall performance and identifying potential bottlenecks. This includes tracking metrics such as CPU usage, memory consumption, and disk I/O on both the cluster and individual node levels.

Tracking the performance of Hadoop jobs is crucial for understanding the overall efficiency of the cluster. Key metrics to monitor include job execution time, resource consumption, and success rate. This information can help identify slow-running jobs, resource-intensive tasks, and potential bottlenecks in the data processing pipeline.
## Example code to monitor Hadoop job performance
hadoop job -history <job_id>
Monitoring HDFS Health
The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is the backbone of a Hadoop cluster, responsible for storing and managing the data. Monitoring the health of HDFS is essential to ensure data integrity and availability. This includes tracking metrics such as file replication, data skew, and data loss.

The network performance within a Hadoop cluster and between client applications and the cluster can have a significant impact on overall system performance. Monitoring metrics such as network throughput, latency, and errors can help identify and address network-related issues.
## Example code to monitor Hadoop network performance
hadoop dfsadmin -report
