How to Set Up High Availability for Resource Manager – Part 6

YARN is the Processing Layer of Hadoop, which consists of the Master (Resource Manager) and Slave (Node Manager) services to process the data. Resource Manager (RM) is the critical component that is responsible for resource allocation and management among all the jobs running in Hadoop Cluster.

It is always recommended and best practice to have the Cluster High Availability (HA) enabled on Critical services like Namenode and Resource Manager.

Requirements

In this article, we will see the steps to enable High Availability on Resource Manager.

You can see two Resource Manager, one will be in the state ‘Active’, another will be in ‘Standby’.

Conclusion

In this article, we have gone through the step by step procedure to enable High Availability on Resource Manager. Whenever the Active Resource Manager goes down, the Standby Resource manager will become Active so that production will not be having an outage.
