Question-5: Deploy compute cluster and storage cluster separately

Question-5: Deploy compute cluster and storage cluster separately and it disaggregates storage from compute in Hadoop environment, which enables compute and storage to grow independently as per business requirements.

1. True
2. False

Answer: 

Exp: Deploy compute cluster and storage cluster separately is becoming popular primarily because it disaggregates storage from compute in Hadoop environment, which enables compute and storage to grow independently as per business requirements. This architecture significantly helps controlling the cluster sprawl and data center footprint.

Most of the commercial shared storage offerings require accessing the same data by using multiple access protocols on different file systems. Industry standard protocols access (for example, Windows SMB and NFS) enables organizations to build a common data lake for Hadoop and non-Hadoop applications. The adoption of containerized workloads is another reason why shared storage deployments are being considered.
