Is it the same for name nodes also? IS there any special care has to be taken? Can you provide the hortonworks documentation link for patch updates?

I am asking about o.s level updates on machine not service level patches.

you have seen this before. https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/4940/hdp-os-upgradepatching-best-practices.html. Same with namenodes, make sure you have HA. when you failover everything to standby node, take services down on the active (now standby) namenode and patch it.
