What is edge node in Hadoop?

Question

Can anyone tell me what is edge node in Hadoop?

Answer 1

The interfaces between the Hadoop clusters any external network are called the edge nodes. These are also called gateway nodes as they provide access to-and-from between the Hadoop cluster and other applications. Administration tools and client-side applications are generally the primary utility of these nodes.
