Final answer:

Multiple Daemon processes run on a Hadoop system, including NameNode, Secondary NameNode, DataNode, ResourceManager, NodeManager, and JobHistoryServer.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a Hadoop system, there can be multiple Daemon processes that run to manage various aspects of the system.

These Daemons include:

  1. NameNode: Manages metadata and keeps track of the file system hierarchy.
  2. Secondary NameNode: Assists the NameNode in performing periodic checkpoints.
  3. DataNode: Stores the actual data on the disk.
  4. ResourceManager: Manages resources (CPU, memory) for applications running on the Hadoop cluster.
  5. NodeManager: Manages resources (CPU, memory) on individual cluster nodes.
  6. JobHistoryServer: Tracks completed jobs and provides information about them.

The number of Daemon processes running on a Hadoop system depends on the specific configuration and requirements of the system.
