Typical Data Out Scenario


HDFS Proxy HDFS

§  Data (to be pulled out) is stored in a predefined directory structure as files

§  Client determines (through a custom interface) if a particular data feed of interest is committed or not

§  If committed, client gets the list of files first, and then pulls them out (file-by-file) through HDFSProxy

Pros and Cons of the Data Out Approach


Pros

§  Security of DB passwords – password not stored in the grid

§  Compression – cross-colo network bandwidth is expensive and compression is not possible with JDBC drivers

§  Encryption – data out of the grids has to be encrypted as it may be cross-colo

§  ACLs – DB hosts are not accessible from grid nodes, and hence the proxy

Cons

§  Directory structure – has to be predefined and known to downstream consumers of data

§  Data discovery – availability of data for consumption requires polling or other hooks

§  Overhead – Use of DONE files

§  Maintenance – Separate schema files and schema file formats

The introduction of HCatalog and JMS notifications solves the problem

HCatalog Value Proposition



§  Centralized metadata service for Hadoop

§  Facilitates interoperability among tools such as Pig, Hive, M/R, allows for sharing of data

§  Provides DB-like abstractions (databases, tables, and partitions) and

supports schema evolution

§  Abstracts out the file storage format and data location

DataOut Motivation


§  Many ways to load and manage data on the grid §  HCatalog/Hive §  Pig §  Hadoop MR §  Sqoop §  GDM

§  Fewer ways of getting data off the cluster §  Sqoop §  HDFSProxy §  HDFS copy to local file system §  distcp between clusters

§  Challenges §  Underlying file format §  Size of data §  SLA

DataOut Overview


§  What is DataOut? §  Efficient method of moving data off the grid

§  API exposes a programmatic interface

§  What are the advantages of DataOut? §  API based on well-known JDBC API

§  Works with HCatalog/Hive

§  Agnostic to the underlying storage format

§  Parts of the whole data can be pulled in parallel

§  What are the limitations of DataOut?

§  Queries must be SELECT * FROM type queries

Code to Prepare the HiveSplits

HiveSplit split = (HiveSplit) rs.getObject(1); /* Launch job to fetch the split data. */

} /* Synchronize on fetch jobs. */ rs.close(); s.close(); c.close();

Code to Retrieve the HiveSplits


DataOut dataout = new DataOut(); HiveConnection c = dataout.getConnection(); PreparedStatement ps = c.prepareFetchSplitStatement(split); ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery(); while(rs.next()) {

/* Process row data. */ } rs.close(); ps.close(); c.close(); /* Communicate with master process. */

HS2 Performance – Single Client Connection


HS2 Performance – Five Concurrent Clients


HS2 Performance Summary


§  Throughput scales linearly §  Single client: 1GB: 60s, 5GB: 250s, 10GB: 500s

§  Multiple clients: 1GB: 120s, 5GB: 600s, 10GB: 1200s

§  Throughput is affected by fetch size §  Sweet spot around ~200 rows

§  Average row size may affect this number (pending further testing)

§  HiveServer2 is capable of handling multiple clients §  Throughput of 10GB in ~20 minutes with five client connections

§  Drop-off in throughput is expected and reasonable

§  5x increase in concurrent connections = 2x increase in transfer time

§  Goal of 50GB in 5min §  Achievable with ~10 HiveServer2 instances streaming data
