> Sometimes when we have a large number of clusters we may have to specify the password of the different machines that we are using as slaves (datanodes).
>  
> If the cluster is very huge we may have to repeat this everytime.
> So we would  to suggest a way to avoid this
>  
> 1. Generate a SSH key from the name node machine
> 2. Read the entries from the conf/slaves file, for every entry add the key generated in step 1 to a file of slave machine.
> 3. Repeat the same for master file also.
>  
> when you execute step 1 it will prompt for the password.  This is only for the first time.
>  
> After that whenever you need to start the cluster then password need not be specified.
>  
> This scenario is valid when we are sure of the cluster that we will be maintaining and we are aware of the credentials of the machine.
>  
> This will help the cluster administrator.
