Study Notes
Analyzing Data with Hadoop
- Hadoop enables parallel processing, expressing queries as MapReduce jobs.
- Local testing precedes cluster deployment.
- MapReduce uses two phases: map and reduce.
- Each phase handles key-value pairs.
- Data type choices (keys and values) are programmer-defined.
- Map and reduce functions are specified by the programmer.
Map and Reduce Phases
- Input format for the map phase is raw NCDC text data.
- Key is the starting offset, ignored now.
- The map function simplifies, extracting year and temperature.
- Missing, suspect and erroneous data are filtered.
- Map phase output: key-value pairs (year, temperature).
- MapReduce framework processes map output.
- The framework sorts and groups key-value pairs by key.
Java MapReduce Implementation
- Mapper class handles the map operation.
- Input to the Mapper class is a long integer offset and a text value (a line of data).
- Output key is the year and the output value is the air temperature; both as integers.
- Data may be formatted using built-in Java types, but Hadoop provides optimized types for network serialization (org.apache.hadoop.io).
- The map function extracts columns (year, temperature).
- Mapper class writes year and temperature to the context.
- Reducer class processes groups of values associated with the same key.
- Reducer class finds the maximum temperature for each year.
Running the MapReduce Job
- Job specifications include input, output, mapper and reducer classes.
- MapReduce jobs can be run using a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
- The hadoop command is used to run the job.
- Hadoop creates a Java virtual machine to run the .java code and manage the cluster.
Scaling Out
- MapReduce jobs work best with large datasets.
- Hadoop's distributed file system (DFS) is ideal for large-scale processing.
- Hadoop clusters run using YARN resource manager.
- Input data is divided into smaller chunks.
- Map tasks process these chunks.
- Map outputs handled by the reducer.
- Efficient data transfer within the cluster is crucial.
- Optimal split size is equivalent to the size of an HDFS block (128 MB).
Combiner Functions
-
Combiner function processing speeds up data processing by reducing data transferred between map and reduce functions.
-
The combiner function is invoked on the outputs from the map.
-
If no combiner function or a combiner function that yields the same result as the intended reducer function are present, it may not improve task performance.
-
Combiner functions are defined using the Reducer class, which is equivalent to the reduce function implementation except the combiner function is run on the map output.
-
MapReduce data is transferred with the "shuffle" in order to group data by its key before the reduce task, however, this data transfer can be costly computationally.
