Various configuration parameters of Hadoop are analyzed and the virtualized cluster is fine-tuned to ensure best performance and maximum scalability. So instead of queuing up the jobs, they are efficiently allocated on the VMs based on the memory avail- able. Here are the following key differences mentioned below. The capacity scheduler schedules tasks based on the availability of RAM and virtual memory (VMEM) in slave nodes before allocating any job. When the graphical window opens you are ready to start your audit. Or by first su‘ing to the root user (type su and then type the root user password). Because Nmap requires some administrative access to use certain functionalities, you will want to launch Zenmap from the command line like so: sudo zenmap. Zenmap will work for any size company or even a single-user consultancy, where a quick scan of a network topology can make the difference between spotting a security issue and finding a resolution. There is a catch with the startup of Zenmap. Also, we have configured the Hadoop virtualized cluster to use capacity scheduler instead of the default FIFO scheduler. Once installed you will find the tool in Applications > Network. Hadoop configured VM images are created by cloning of VMs, which facilitates fast addition and deletion of nodes in the cluster without much overhead.

The master node of the cluster is set up on a physical machine, and slave nodes are set up on virtual machines (VMs) that may be on a common physical machine.

We present a virtualized setup of a Hadoop cluster that provides greater computing capacity with lesser resources, since a virtualized cluster requires fewer physical machines.
