Add another master node to increase the number of nodes running the JournalNode which
increases the number of machines available to HA to create a quorum

B.
Configure the cluster’s disk drives with an appropriate fault tolerant RAID level

C.
Run the ResourceManager on a different master from the NameNode in the order to load share
HDFS metadata processing

D.
Run a Secondary NameNode on a different master from the NameNode in order to load provide
automatic recovery from a NameNode failure

E.
Set an HDFS replication factor that provides data redundancy, protecting against failure
