MiniCluster vs Containerized Pseudo-Distributed for Timing-Sensitive HDFS Tests
Context A team wants a repeatable Hadoop development environment that balances fast feedback loops with confidence that timing-sensitive HDFS operations—NameNode failover, RPC retry storms, and DataNode block reports—behave like production. Constraint CI pipelines must complete in under ten minutes, but the test suite exercises HA failover and block-replicat
