Hadoop Overview

What is Hadoop ?

• Hadoop is an open source framework for writing and running distributed applications that process large amounts of data.

• Hadoop’s accessibility and simplicity give it an edge over writing and running large distributed programs

• On the other hand, its robustness and scalability make it suitable for even the most demanding jobs at Yahoo and Facebook.

• Hadoop cluster is a set of commodity machines networked together in one location.

Key distinctions of Hadoop

• Accessible - Hadoop runs on large clusters of commodity machines or on cloud computing services such as Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2 ).

• Robust - Because it is intended to run on commodity hardware, Hadoop is architected with the assumption of frequent hardware malfunctions. It can gracefully handle most such failures.

• Scalable - Hadoop scales linearly to handle larger data by adding more nodes to the cluster.

• Simple - Hadoop allows users to quickly write efficient parallel code.

Comparing SQL databases and Hadoop

• SCALE-OUT INSTEAD OF SCALE-UP

• KEY/VALUE PAIRS INSTEAD OF RELATIONAL TABLES

• FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING (MAPREDUCE) INSTEAD OF DECLARATIVE QUERIES (SQL)

• OFFLINE BATCH PROCESSING INSTEAD OF ONLINE TRANSACTIONS

Hadoop Ecosystem

• HDFS

A distributed file system that runs on large clusters of commodity machines.

• MapReduceA distributed data processing model and execution environment that runs on

large clusters of commodity machines.

• PigA data flow language and execution environment for exploring very large

datasets. Pig runs on HDFS and MapReduce clusters.

Hadoop Ecosystem

• Hive

A distributed data warehouse. Hive manages data stored in HDFS and provides a query language based on SQL (and which is translated by the runtime engine to MapReduce jobs) for querying the data.

• HBase

A distributed, column-oriented database. HBase uses HDFS for its underlying storage, and supports both batch-style computations using MapReduce and point queries (random reads).

Typical Workflow

• Load data into the cluster (HDFS writes)

• Analyze data (MAP/ Reduce job)

• Store results in the cluster (HDFS write)

• Read results from the cluster (HDFS reads)

Example

Hadoop Distributed File System

(HDFS)

Hadoop Distributed File System

• Shared multi-petabyte file system for entire cluster. Managed by a single NameNode

File are written, read, renamed, deleted, but append only

optimized for streaming reads of large files.

• Files are broken into uniform sized blocks. Blocks are typically 128 MB (64 MB default)

Replicated to several DataNodes, for reliability.

• Data is distributed to many nodes Bandwidth scales linearly with the number of disks

Avoids single path to all data

Job Assignment

• Move map task to where the data is.

• Job Tracker assigns job based on the location of the data.

• The computation of job task are done mostly on servers containing the data.

• Handles recovery of task failures.

Hadoop Data File System

(HDFS) supports storage

of massive amount of data

on commodity hardware.

Inside a DataNode

• Each Data Node can have thousands of Blocks of data

• Blocks by default are 64 MB each

-- Often set at 128 MB

DATA NODE

Blocks

Writing data to HDFS

• Blocks of data are replicated.

• Allows computation to be brought close to data.

• Replication increases the chances data locality.

Tasks are assigned to local node (when possible and then local rack.

Replication also supports reliability (node failure).

• A Job is decomposed into Tasks that scan the data.

Inside a Task Tracker Node

• The administrator will assign slots for running maps and reduces.

A given node may have 4 map slots and 8 reduce slots The particular number is site dependent.

Varies with work load and machine configuration.

• Slots are designed as is being either map or reduce slots

• Each node may be individually configured.

• A slot will run a JVM to run a mapper or reducer.
