AWS datasync: Updated Hadoop DataNode port documentation

Service: datasync · 2026-07-29 · Documentation medium

File: datasync/latest/userguide/datasync-network.md · Type: network

Summary

Clarified default DataNode ports for Hadoop 3.x, 2.x, and secure Kerberos clusters.

Security assessment

Specifies secure cluster configurations (Kerberos with privileged ports), aiding proper network security setup.

Evidence

DataNode port (defaults are 9866 for Hadoop 3.x, 50010 for Hadoop 2.x, and 1004 for secure clusters using Kerberos with privileged ports)
