1. Will fsImage maintain the data/metadata of name node. 2. Will any input files be stored in fsImage.
3. When a namenode goes down will all the data in the name node go down or just the meta data only and what will happen to fsimage & editslog. 5. Is the fsimage file which is also maintained as a backup on multiple data nodes and secondary namenode or it just sits on a namenode. 6. Does fsimage sit on hdfs or namenode server. 6. What exactly does the editsLog do? Please pour some light. Thanks Sai
