Introduction

• What is Big Data??

– Bulk Amount

– Unstructured

• Lots of Applications which need to handle

huge amount of data (in terms of 500+ TB per

day)

• If a regular machine need to transmit 1TB of

data through 4 channels : 43 Minutes.

• What if 500 TB ??

What is Hadoop?

• Framework for large-scale data processing

• Inspired by Google’s Architecture: – Google File System (GFS) and MapReduce

• Open-source Apache project

– Nutch search engine project

– Apache Incubator

• Written in Java and shell scripts


Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)

• Storage unit of Hadoop

• Relies on principles of Distributed File System.

• HDFS have a Master-Slave architecture

• Main Components:

– Name Node : Master

– Data Node : Slave

• 3+ replicas for each block

• Default Block Size : 128MB


H


• Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)

– Runs entirely in userspace

– The file system is dynamically distributed across multiple computers

– Allows for nodes to be added or removed easily

– Highly scalable in a horizontal fashion

• Hadoop Development Platform

– Uses a MapReduce model for working with data

– Users can program in Java, C++, and other languages


Why should I use Hadoop?

• Fault-tolerant hardware is expensive

• Hadoop designed to run on commodity hardware

• Automatically handles data replication and deals with node failure

• Does all the hard work so you can focus on processing data


HDFS: Key Features

• Highly Fault Tolerant:

Automatic Failure Recovery System

• High aggregate throughput for streaming large files

• Supports replication and locality features

• Designed to work with systems with vary large file

(files with size in TB) and few in number.

• Provides streaming access to file system data. It is

specifically good for write once read many kind of

files (for example Log files).



• Can be built out of commodity hardware. HDFS

doesn't need highly expensive storage devices

– Uses off the shelf hardware

• Rapid Elasticity

– Need more capacity, just assign some more nodes

– Scalable

– Can add or remove nodes with little effort or

reconfiguration

• Resistant to Failure

• Individual node failure does not disrupt the

systemSS Chung CIS 612 Lecture Notes 8

Who uses Hadoop?


What features does Hadoop offer?

• API and implementation for working with

MapReduce

• Infrastructure

– Job configuration and efficient scheduling

– Web-based monitoring of cluster stats

– Handles failures in computation and data nodes

– Distributed File System optimized for huge amounts of

data


When should you choose Hadoop?

• Need to process a lot of unstructured data

• Processing needs are easily run in parallel

• Batch jobs are acceptable

• Access to lots of cheap commodity machines


When should you avoid Hadoop?

• Intense calculations with little or no data

• Processing cannot easily run in parallel

• Data is not self-contained

• Need interactive results


Hadoop Examples

• Hadoop would be a good choice for:

– Indexing log files

– Sorting vast amounts of data

– Image analysis

– Search engine optimization

– Analytics

• Hadoop would be a poor choice for:

– Calculating Pi to 1,000,000 digits

– Calculating Fibonacci sequences

– A general RDBMS replacement



• How does Hadoop work?

– Runs on top of multiple commodity systems

– A Hadoop cluster is composed of nodes

• One Master Node

• Many Slave Nodes

– Multiple nodes are used for storing data & processing

data

– System abstracts the underlying hardware to

users/software


How HDFS works: Split Data

• Data copied into HDFS is split into blocks

• Typical HDFS block size is 128 MB

– (VS 4 KB on UNIX File Systems)


How HDFS works: Replication

• Each block is replicated to multiple machines

• This allows for node failure without data loss

HDFS Architecture

Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)p:

HDFS • HDFS Consists of data blocks

– Files are divided into data

blocks

– Default size if 64MB

– Default replication of blocks is 3

– Blocks are spread out over Data

Nodes


� HDFS is a multi-node system

� Name Node (Master)

� Single point of failure

� Data Node (Slave)

� Failure tolerant (Data

replication)

• Master of HDFS

• Maintains and Manages data on Data Nodes

• High reliability Machine (can be even RAID)

• Expensive Hardware

• Stores NO data; Just holds Metadata!

• Secondary Name Node:

– Reads from RAM of Name Node and stores it to hard

disks periodically.

• Active & Passive Name Nodes from Gen2 Hadoop

HDFS Architecture


Hadoop Modes of Operation

Hadoop supports three modes of operation:

• Standalone

• Pseudo-Distributed

• Fully-Distributed


HDFS Operation


HDFS Operation

• Client makes a Write request to Name Node

• Name Node responds with the information about on available data nodes and where data to be written.

• Client write the data to the addressed Data Node.

• Replicas for all blocks are automatically created by Data Pipeline.

• If Write fails, Data Node will notify the Client and get new location to write.

• If Write Completed Successfully, Acknowledgement is given to Client

• Non-Posted Write by Hadoop


HDFS: File Write


HDFS: File Read


Hadoop: Hadoop Stack• Hadoop Development Platform

– User written code runs on system

– System appears to user as a single entity

– User does not need to worry about

distributed system

– Many system can run on top of Hadoop

• Allows further abstraction from system


Hadoop: Hive & HBase�Hive and HBase are layers on top of Hadoop

�HBase & Hive are applications

�Provide an interface to data on the HDFS

�Other programs or applications may use Hive or

HBase as an intermediate layer

Input Splits


Time

Hadoop MR Job Interface:

Input Format

• The Hadoop MapReduce framework spawns

one map task for each InputSplit

• InputSplit: Input File is Split to Input Splits (Logical

splits (usually 1 block), not Physically split chunks)

Input Format::getInputSplits()

• The number of maps is usually driven by the total

number of blocks (InputSplits) of the input files.

1 block size = 128 MB,

10 TB file configured with 82000 maps


map()

• The framework then calls

map(WritableComparable, Writable, OutputCollector,

Reporter) for each key/value pair (line_num, line_string

) in the InputSplit for that task.

• Output pairs are collected with calls to

OutputCollector.collect(WritableComparable,Writable).


combiner()

• Optional combiner, via

JobConf.setCombinerClass(Class)

• to perform local aggregation of the intermediate

outputs of mapper


Partitioner()

• Partitioner controls the partitioning of the keys of the

intermediate map-outputs.

• The key (or a subset of the key) is used to derive the

partition, typically by a hash function.

• The total number of partitions is the same as the

number of reducers

• HashPartitioner is the default Partitioner of reduce

tasks for the job


reducer()

• Reducer has 3 primary phases:

1. Shuffle:

2. Sort

3. Reduce


reducer()

• Shuffle

Input to the Reducer is the sorted output of the mappers.

In this phase the framework fetches the relevant

partition of the output of all the mappers, via HTTP.

• Sort

The framework groups Reducer inputs by keys (since

different mappers may have output the same key) in this

stage.

• The shuffle and sort phases occur simultaneously;

while map-outputs are being fetched they are merged.


reducer()

• Reduce

The framework then calls

reduce(WritableComparable, Iterator, OutputCollector, Reporter)

method for each <key, (list of values)> pair in the

grouped inputs.

• The output of the reduce task is typically written to

the FileSystem via OutputCollector.collect(WritableComparable, Writable).

• Hadoop Distributed FileSystem (HDFS)

• Optimizing a MapReduce job

Dealing with Failures and Slow Tasks

• What to do when a task fails?

– Try again (retries possible because of idempotence)

– Try again somewhere else

– Report failure

• What about slow tasks: stragglers

– Run another version of the same task in parallel. Take

results from the one that finishes first

– What are the pros and cons of this approach?

How are the number of splits, number of map and reduce

tasks, memory allocation to tasks, etc., determined?

Job Configuration Parameters

• 190+ parameters in

Hadoop

• Set manually or defaults

are used

Image source: http://www.jaso.co.kr/265

Hadoop Job Configuration Parameters

Tuning Hadoop Job Conf. Parameters

• Do their settings impact performance?

• What are ways to set these parameters?

– Defaults -- are they good enough?

– Best practices -- the best setting can depend on data, job, and

cluster properties

– Automatic setting

Experimental Setting

• Hadoop cluster on 1 master + 16 workers

• Each node:

– 2GHz AMD processor, 1.8GB RAM, 30GB local disk

– Relatively ill-provisioned!

– Xen VM running Debian Linux

– Max 4 concurrent maps & 2 reduces

• Maximum map wave size = 16x4 = 64

• Maximum reduce wave size = 16x2 = 32

• Not all users can run large Hadoop clusters:

– Can Hadoop be made competitive in the 10-25 node, multi GB

to TB data size range?

Parameters Varied in Experiments

• Varying number of reduce tasks, number of concurrent sorted

streams for merging, and fraction of map-side sort buffer

devoted to metadata storage

Hadoop 50GB TeraSort


• Varying number of reduce tasks for different values of the fraction of map-side sort buffer devoted to metadata storage (with io.sort.factor = 500)


• Varying number of reduce tasks for different values of io.sort.factor (io.sort.record.percent = 0.05, default)

• 1D projection for

io.sort.factor=500
