()
Replication Factor can be configured at a cluster level (Default is set to 3)
and also at a file level
How does an

() User data is distributed across multiple DataNodes in the cluster and is
managed by the NameNode.
Week-0 () DataNode is aware of the files to which the blocks stored on it belong to

8) What is the purpose of a validation set in machine learning? 1 point

To train the model on unseen data

9) In K-fold cross-validation, what is the purpose of splitting the dataset 1 point

To ensure that every data point is used for training only once
To train the model on all the data points
 To test the model on the same data multiple times
To evaluate the model’s performance on different subsets of data
