Understanding Hadoop I/O

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about Hadoop I/O that form the building blocks for developing distributed systems, such as serialization frameworks and on-disk data structures and a transform for reading data from any source or writing data to any sink that implements Hadoop's Input Format or Output Format accordingly.
