Hi, I was checking one of the question posed in this forum where there was an incomplete code that has 2 node_handlers in a single code. Though i see its wrong in that particular code. i am curious to know if any such situation would arise where this possibility comes. As for as i know 1 node should have 1 node_handler. Correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks, Karthik

If, for example, you had:

ros::NodeHandle nh;
ros::NodeHandle private_nh("~");

Then, nh.getParam() would look in the global namespace for a parameter, whereas private_nh.getParam() would look in a private namespace.

This configuration (one global, one private) is most common situation in which I use multiple NodeHandles.

You can have as many node handles as you want, but they will all represent the same node.

One node <-> one system process. In any case you could use nodelets: many nodelets (threads) in a node in a process.
