This guide provides an overview of the HDFS Observer NameNode feature
and how to configure/install it in a typical HA-enabled cluster. For a
detailed technical design overview, please check the doc attached to

is a single Active NameNode and one or more Standby NameNode(s). The

**highly recommend** to configure this to a much lower value.
