    Study Notes

    MapReduce Design Patterns

    • Summarization Patterns: Include numerical summaries (min, max, count, mean, median, standard deviation), inverted indexes, and counting with counters.

    Filtering Patterns

    • Distributed grep: Filters data based on patterns.
    • Simple random sampling: Selects a random subset of data.
    • Bloom filtering: Reduces data size by filtering out potentially irrelevant data.
    • Top ten: Finds the top ten values.
    • Distinct: Identifies unique values.

    Data Organization Patterns

    • Structured to hierarchical: Organizes data into a hierarchical structure.
    • Partitioning: Divides data into separate partitions.
    • Binning: Groups data into bins.
    • Total order sorting: Sorts data in a total order.
    • Shuffling: Rearranges data for subsequent processing.

    Join Patterns

    • Reduce-side join: Joins datasets on the reducer side; less efficient.

      • Implements all join operations (inner, outer, anti).
      • Suitable for joining multiple large datasets by a foreign key.
        • Less efficient if one dataset fits in memory.
      • Mapper extracts foreign key and outputs with full record and unique identifier (e.g., "A" or "B").
      • Reducer collects values by identifiers, performing join logic (for inner join, checks for non-empty lists).
        • Records with null values are generated in outer joins.
      • Can use a hash partitioner or custom partitioner for distribution.
      • Output part files, one per reducer task.

    • Replicated join: Joins a large dataset with several small, in-memory datasets on the map side.

      • Eliminates shuffling to the reducer.
      • Suitable for efficient inner or left outer joins, with the large dataset as the left part.
      • Requires all but the largest dataset to fit in memory.
      • Mapper loads small datasets to memory during setup and joins large dataset records with them in map.
      • Outputs all joined records in part files, one per map task. Nulls appear in left outer joins.

    • Cartesian product: Joins every record in one dataset with every record in other datasets.

      • Useful for relationship analysis between all data pairs.
      • Suitable if time is not a constraint.
      • Mapper generates cross-products from input splits.
      • Outputs every possible tuple combination.

    Metapatterns

    • Job chaining: Linking multiple jobs to execute sequentially or in parallel.

      • Sequential uses job.waitForCompletion().
      • Parallel uses job.submit(), job.isComplete(), and job.isSuccessful().

    • Chain folding: Optimizes MapReduce job chains by combining map phases.

      • Reduces data movement to disk, network, and shuffle.

    • Job merging: Allows multiple unrelated MapReduce jobs loading common data to share the pipeline.

      • Loads and parses data only once.
      • Code organization can be complex, use sparingly.

    Input and Output Patterns

    • Customizing input:

      • InputFormat: Validates, splits, and creates RecordReader for input data.
      • InputSplit: Reference to input data chunks, with location and length.
      • RecordReader: Iterator over input records.
      • FileInputFormat: Base class for file-based input.
      • TextInputFormat: Default; each line as a record.
      • KeyValueTextInputFormat: Keys and values separated by a delimiter (default is tab).
      • NLineInputFormat: Fixed number of lines per mapper.
      • Binary input formats (e.g., SequenceFileInputFormat, SequenceFileAsTextInputFormat, SequenceFileAsBinaryInputFormat)
      • Multiple inputs: Specify different formats and mappers for various input paths.

    • Customizing output: Analogous to custom input with OutputFormat and RecordWriter.

    Specific Example (Reduce-side join)

    • Reduce-side join example: Enriches comments with user information from a separate dataset.

      • Example uses XML data, mappers parse and output user IDs along with relevant data using flags (e.g., "A" for users, "B" for comments).
      • Reducer collects values by identifier, performs joins based on join.type (inner, outer), and outputs result with appropriate null values.
      • Add WholeFileInputFormat & WholeFileRecordReader if processing an entire file as a single record.

    • Reduce-side join with Bloom filter example: Improves performance joining large and small datasets when reputation filtering needed.

    • Mappers filter data before sending. This reduces unwanted data movement from mapper to reducer and potentially increases efficiency.
