What is configured in /etc/hosts and what is its role in setting Hadoop cluster?

./etc/hosts file contains the hostname and their IP address of that host. It also, maps the IP address to the hostname. In hadoop cluster, we store all the hostnames (master and slaves) with their IP address in ./etc/hosts. So, we can use hostnames easily instead of IP addresses.
