Cloud Computing • The emergence of cloud computing
has made a tremendous impact on
the Information Technology (IT) industry
• Cloud computing moved away from personal computers and the individual enterprise application server to services provided by the cloud of computers
• The resources like CPU and storage are provided as general utilities to the users on-demand based through internet
• Cloud computing is in initial stages, with many issues still to be addressed.

MapReduce History
• Historically, data processing was completely done using database technologies. Most of the data had a well-defined structure and was often stored in relational databases
• Data soon reached terabytes and then petabytes
• Google developed a new programming model called MapReduce to handle large-scale data analysis,and later they introduced the model through their seminal paper MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters.
What the paper says
What is MapReduce used for?• At Google:
• Index construction for Google Search
• Article clustering for Google News
• Statistical machine translation
• At Yahoo!:
• “Web map” powering Yahoo! Search
• Spam detection for Yahoo! Mail
• At Facebook:
• Data mining

MapReduce Framework
• computing paradigm for processing data that resides on hundreds of computers
• popularized recently by Google, Hadoop, and many others
• more of a framework
• makes problem solving easier and harder
• inter-cluster network utilization
• performance of a job that will be distributed
• published by Google without any actual source code

Word Count -"Hello World" of MapReduce world.• The word count job accepts an input directory, a mapper
function, and a reducer function as inputs.
• We use the mapper function to process the data in parallel, and we use the reducer function to collect results of the mapper and produce the final results.
• Mapper sends its results to reducer using a key-value based model.
• $bin/hadoop -cp hadoop-microbook.jar microbook.wordcount. WordCount amazon-meta.txt wordcount-output1

How Mapreduce Works
At the highest level, there are four independent entities:
• The client, which submits the MapReduce job.
• The jobtracker, which coordinates the job run. The jobtrackeris a Java application whose main class is JobTracker.
• The tasktrackers, which run the tasks that the job has been split into.
• The distributed filesystem (normally HDFS), which is used
for sharing job files between the other entities.
Anatomy of a Mapreduce Job
Developing a MapReduce Application
• The Configuration APIConfiguration conf = new Configuration();
conf.addResource("configuration-1.xml");
conf.addResource("configuration-2.xml");
• GenericOptionsParser, Tool, and ToolRunner
• Writing a Unit Test
• Testing the Driver
• Launching a Job
% hadoop jar hadoop-examples.jar v3.MaxTemperatureDriver -conf conf/hadoop-cluster.xml \ Input/ncdc/all max-temp
• Retrieving the Results
This is where the Magic Happens
public class MaxTemperatureDriver extends Configured implements Tool {@OverrideJob job = new Job(getConf(), "Max temperature");job.setJarByClass(getClass());FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));job.setMapperClass(MaxTemperatureMapper.class);job.setCombinerClass(MaxTemperatureReducer.class);job.setReducerClass(MaxTemperatureReducer.class);job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);return job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1;}public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {int exitCode = ToolRunner.run(new MaxTemperatureDriver(), args);System.exit(exitCode);}}

Hadoop Clusters
In pioneer days they used oxen for heavy pulling, and when one ox couldn’t budge a log,they didn’t try to grow a larger ox. We shouldn’t be trying for bigger computers, but formore systems of computers.—Grace Hopper

What is Hadoop
• Hadoop is a software framework for distributed processing of large
datasets across large clusters of computers
• Large datasets Terabytes or petabytes of data
• Large clusters hundreds or thousands of nodes
• Hadoop is open-source implementation for Google MapReduce
• HDFS is a filesystem designed for storing very large files with streaming data access patterns, running on clusters of commodity hardware
31
What is Hadoop (Cont’d)
• Hadoop framework consists on two main layers
• Distributed file system (HDFS)• Execution engine (MapReduce)
• Hadoop is designed as a master-slave shared-nothing architecture
32
Design Principles of Hadoop
• Automatic parallelization & distribution
• computation across thousands of nodes and Hidden from the end-user
• Fault tolerance and automatic recovery
• Nodes/tasks will fail and will recover automatically
• Clean and simple programming abstraction
• Users only provide two functions “map” and “reduce”
• Need to process big data
• Commodity hardware
• Large number of low-end cheap machines working in parallel to solve a computing problem
33
Hardware Specs
• Memory
• RAM
• Total tasks
• No Raid required
• No Blade server
• Dedicated Switch
• Dedicated 1GB line
Who Uses MapReduce/Hadoop
• Google: Inventors of MapReduce computing paradigm
• Yahoo: Developing Hadoop open-source of MapReduce
• IBM, Microsoft, Oracle
• Facebook, Amazon, AOL, NetFlex
• Many others + universities and research labs
• Many enterprises are turning to Hadoop
• Especially applications generating big data
• Web applications, social networks, scientific applications
35
Hadoop: How it Works
• Hadoop implements Google’s MapReduce, using HDFS
• MapReduce divides applications into many small blocks of work.
• HDFS creates multiple replicas of data blocks for reliability, placing them on compute nodes around the cluster.
• MapReduce can then process the data where it is located.
• Hadoop ‘s target is to run on clusters of the order of 10,000-nodes.

Hadoop: Assumptions
It is written with large clusters of computers in mind and is built around the following assumptions:
• Hardware will fail.
• Processing will be run in batches.
• Applications that run on HDFS have large data sets.
• It should provide high aggregate data bandwidth
• Applications need a write-once-read-many access model.
• Moving Computation is Cheaper than Moving Data.
• Portability is important.
Complete Overview
Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)
40
Centralized namenode- Maintains metadata info about files
Many datanode (1000s)- Store the actual data- Files are divided into blocks- Each block is replicated N times
(Default = 3)
File F 1 2 3 4 5
Blocks (64 MB)
Main Properties of HDFS
• Large: A HDFS instance may consist of thousands of server machines, each storing part of the file system’s data
• Replication: Each data block is replicated many times (default is 3)
• Failure: Failure is the norm rather than exception
• Fault Tolerance: Detection of faults and quick, automatic recovery from them is a core architectural goal of HDFS
• Namenode is consistently checking Datanodes

Tuning Parameters
Mapping workers to Processors• The input data (on HDFS) is stored on the local disks of the machines
in the cluster. HDFS divides each file into 64 MB blocks, and stores
several copies of each block (typically 3 copies) on different
machines.
• The MapReduce master takes the location information of the input
files into account and attempts to schedule a map task on a machine
that contains a replica of the corresponding input data. Failing that, it
attempts to schedule a map task near a replica of that task's input
data. When running large MapReduce operations on a significant
fraction of the workers in a cluster, most input data is read locally and
consumes no network bandwidth.

Task Granularity
• The map phase has M pieces and the reduce phase has R pieces.
• M and R should be much larger than the number of worker
machines.
• Having each worker perform many different tasks improves dynamic
load balancing, and also speeds up recovery when a worker fails.
• Larger the M and R, more the decisions the master must make
• R is often constrained by users because the output of each reduce task
ends up in a separate output file.
• Typically, (at Google), M = 200,000 and R = 5,000, using 2,000
worker machines.

Speculative Execution – One approach• Tasks may be slow for various reasons, including hardware
degradation or software mis-configuration, but the causes may be hard to detect since the tasks still complete
• successfully, albeit after a longer time than expected. Hadoop doesn’t try to diagnose and fix slow-running tasks;
• instead, it tries to detect when a task is running slower than expected and launches another, equivalent, task as a backup.
Problem Statement
The problem at hand is defining a resource provisioning framework for MapReduce jobs running in a cloud keeping in mind performance goals such as
Resource utilization with
-optimal number of map and reduce slots
-improvements in execution time
-Highly scalable solution
