If I create a folder in HDFS, will there be metadata created corresponding to the folder? If yes, what will be the size of metadata created for a directory?
Answer / Kalpana Bharti
Yes, when you create a folder in HDFS, metadata is created corresponding to the folder. The metadata includes information about the folder's location, its replication level, ownership, permissions, and other attributes. The size of metadata created for a directory depends on these attributes and can vary.
