YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) is the second generation of Hadoop developed by the Apache Software Foundation, replacing the jobtracker and tasktracker with a resource manager and application master for improved resource management and scheduling. It supports both batch and non-batch jobs, can handle over 8000 clusters, and is optimized for machine learning tasks, with various scheduling strategies like FIFO, capacity, and fair scheduling. This architecture enhances resource allocation efficiency and enables multiple applications to share resources effectively.
