    Study Notes

    Apache Pig, Hive, and ZooKeeper

    • Apache Pig is a high-level scripting language for processing large datasets.
    • It converts Pig Latin code into MapReduce jobs, streamlining the process.
    • Pig Latin is a high-level language used for expressing data operations.
    • Users define a query execution plan in Pig Latin.
    • Pig has a framework for interpreting and executing Pig Latin programs.
    • Pig uses grunt as a command line interface to the framework.
    • Pig has a debugging environment called Pig Pen.
    • Pig is suitable for ad-hoc analysis of unstructured data like log files.
    • It's an effective ETL tool for pre-processing data.
    • Pig facilitates rapid prototyping with large datasets before full-scale applications are developed.
    • Pig Latin provides a dataflow language to express operations as a sequence of steps.

    Hive

    • Hive is a data warehousing infrastructure built on Hadoop.
    • It uses SQL-like queries to run on large-scale Hadoop clusters.
    • Hive compiles SQL queries into MapReduce jobs.
    • Hive uses Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) for storage.
    • Hive's key design principles are SQL syntax familiarity suited to data analysts, data processing of terabytes and petabytes of data, and scalability and performance.
    • Hive use cases involve large-scale data processing with SQL-style syntax for predictive modeling, customer-facing business intelligence, and text mining.
    • Hive components include HiveQL, a subset of SQL with extensions for loading and storing data, Hive Services (compiler, executor engine, web interface), Hive Hadoop Interface, and Hive Client Connectors.

    Hive Data Model

    • Hive tables are similar to relational database tables but reside in HDFS.
    • Partitions divide data distribution within tables in HDFS subdirectories.
    • Buckets further divide data into smaller subsets in HDFS for optimized queries.

    HiveQL Commands

    • HiveQL is a data definition language used for creating, altering, and describing tables.
    • HiveQL is also used as a data manipulation language for loading and inserting data using LOAD and INSERT commands.
    • There are also query commands like SELECT, JOIN, and UNION.

    User-Defined Functions (UDFs) in Hive

    • Hive supports different types of UDFs for various functions such as substr, trim, aggregation (e.g., sum, average, max, min), table generation (e.g., explode), and custom MapReduce scripts.

    Hive Architecture

    • Hive has a CLI interface called Grunt, a Hive Driver (compiler, executor engine), Hive Web Interface, a Hive Hadoop Interface for interaction with JobTracker and NameNode, and Hive Client Connectors for connecting to existing applications.
    • Hive uses a Metastore to manage table schemas.
    • Hive services are for tasks such as compilation.
    • Users execute Hive queries using a client application.

    Compilation of Hive Programs

    • Hive uses a parser to analyze the query, followed by a semantic analyzer for schema verification.
    • A logical plan generator converts SQL to a logical execution plan.
    • The optimizer improves the logical plan by combining joins and reducing MapReduce jobs.
    • The physical plan generator transforms the logical plan into a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of MapReduce tasks.
    • MapReduce tasks run on the Hadoop cluster to execute the query.

    ZooKeeper

    • ZooKeeper is a centralized service for coordinating distributed systems.
    • It's used for naming, configuration, synchronization, organization, and heartbeat systems.
    • ZooKeeper allows application developers to create distributed applications.
    • ZooKeeper is a distributed data store.
    • It has a hierarchical data model similar to a file system.
    • ZNodes are the fundamental data structures.
    • ZNodes can be ephemeral (automatic deletion) or persistent.
    • Sequential znodes have sequentially generated names.
    • Clients interact with ZooKeeper through an API with operations such as create, delete, exists, getACL/setACL, getChildren, getData/setData, and sync.
    • Reads happen consistently from any server in the ensemble.
    • ZooKeeper uses the "Zab" protocol for leader election and atomic broadcast of updates.
    • ZooKeeper ensures fault tolerance and maintains a single system image for clients.
    • ZooKeeper allows the creation of high-level constructs for distributed applications like barriers and queues.
