Submitting a sample MapReduce application
When a MapReduce application is submitted to a Hadoop-YARN cluster, a series of events occurs in different components. In this section, we will submit a sample Hadoop-YARN application to a cluster. We will discuss the application flow with the help of snapshots and understand how the series of events occurs.
