What should be the HDFS Block size to get maximum performance from Hadoop cluster?
Answer / Sachin Babu Varshney
The optimal block size for getting maximum performance from a Hadoop cluster depends on various factors such as network bandwidth, storage capacity, and the nature of data being processed. However, a common recommendation is to set the block size between 64MB and 512MB. Experimentation is often required to find the best block size for a specific use case.
