What should you do?

You’re upgrading a Hadoop cluster from HDFS and MapReduce version 1 (MRv1) to one running
HDFS and MapReduce version 2 (MRv2) on YARN. You want to set and enforce version 1 (MRv1)
to one running HDFS and MapReduce version 2 (MRv2) on YARN. You want to set and enforce a
block size of 128MB for all new files written to the cluster after upgrade. What should you do?

A.
You cannot enforce this, since client code can always override this value

B.
Set dfs.block.size to 128M on all the worker nodes, on all client machines, and on the
NameNode, and set the parameter to final

C.
Set dfs.block.size to 128 M on all the worker nodes and client machines, and set the parameter
to final. You do not need to set this value on the NameNode

D.
Set dfs.block.size to 134217728 on all the worker nodes, on all client machines, and on the
NameNode, and set the parameter to final

E.
Set dfs.block.size to 134217728 on all the worker nodes and client machines, and set the
parameter to final. You do not need to set this value on the NameNode
