I am learning Hadoop. I want to know can i deploy more than one edge node in my cluster?

If yes, how to do this and on which hosts should i keep the edge nodes?

Currently i have one edge node in my cluster on a dedicated machine.

Apache Hadoop

Yes, you can have more than one. 2 or 3 is very common. Your edge nodes should traditionally be client only (not major services installed) and can be lower in spec compared to component or data nodes. These might also be nodes that you give low level user access to, where other nodes these users may not have access to them.
