Just like the Standalone mode, Hadoop can also run on a single-node in this mode. The difference is that each Hadoop daemon runs in a separate Java process in this Mode. In Pseudo-distributed mode, we need configuration for all the four files mentioned above. In this case, all daemons are running on one node and thus, both Master and Slave node are the same.
The pseudo mode is suitable for both for development and in the testing environment. In the Pseudo mode, all the daemons run on the same machine.
