Study Notes
MapReduce (MR)
- MapReduce is a programming model and a software framework for processing large datasets in parallel.
- It divides the processing into two main phases: map and reduce.
- MapReduce is designed to handle big data efficiently and is used for tasks like search, analytics, and machine learning.
Phases of MapReduce
- Split: Data is partitioned across multiple computer nodes.
- Map: A map function is applied to each chunk of data.
- Sort & Shuffle: The output of the mappers is sorted and distributed to the reducers.
- Reduce: A reduce function is applied to the data, producing an output.
Example of MapReduce
- The text gives an example of how MapReduce might work, but it does not provide details about the specific task or data being processed.
MapReduce Framework
- The framework handles the splitting, sorting, and shuffling phases.
- The user defines the map and reduce functions.
- The user can customize the splitting, sorting, and shuffling phases.
Map and Reduce Functions
- The same map and reduce functions are applied to all data chunks.
- The map and reduce computations are independent and can be carried out in parallel.
Data Processing
- The splitting phase is separate from the internal partitioning into blocks.
- The sorting and shuffling phase can be the most resource-intensive part of a MapReduce job.
- The map function takes unsorted data as input and emits key-value pairs.
- The sorting process groups data by key, making it easier for the reducers to work with.
- Reducers can start processing a group of data as soon as the group is complete.
Map Task
- More details about Map tasks are needed; the text does not provide enough information.
Reduce Task
- More details about Reduce tasks are needed; the text does not provide enough information.
MapReduce Daemons
- The text mentions two important daemons in Hadoop's MapReduce implementation.
JobTracker
- JobTracker is a daemon service that manages and tracks MapReduce jobs in Hadoop.
- It accepts jobs from client applications.
- It communicates with NameNode to determine data location.
- It allocates tasks to available TaskTracker nodes.
TaskTracker
- TaskTracker is a daemon service that executes individual map, reduce, or shuffle tasks.
- It has a set of slots that represent the number of tasks it can handle concurrently.
- JobTracker assigns tasks to TaskTracker nodes based on available slots.
- TaskTracker notifies JobTracker about the status of completed tasks.
