ah! the data! • NYSE generates 1 Terabyte of data per day • The LHC in Geneva will produce 15 Petabytes of data per year • The estimated “digital info” by 2011: 1.8 zettabytes (that is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 1021 bytes) • Think status updates, facebook photos, slashdot comments (individual digital footprints get to Tb/year) data from The Diverse and Exploding Digital Universe, by IDC unlicensed img from IBM archives

“everything counts in large amounts...” • where do you store a petabyte? • how do you read it? (remote 10 mb/sec, local 100mb/sec) • how do you process it? • and what if something goes wrong? data from The Diverse and Exploding Digital Universe, by IDC

so, here comes parallel computing! 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 for more systems of computers Grace Hopper

however... There are 3 rules to follow when parallelizing large code bases. Unfortunately, no one knows what these rules are Gary R. Montry

apache hadoop • top level apache project since jan 2008 • open source, java-based • winner of the terabyte sort benchmark • heavily invested in and used inside Yahoo!

hdfs • designed to store lots of data in a reliable and scalable way • sequential access and read- focused, with replication

simple mapreduce

simple mapreduce • note: beware of the single reduce! :)

simple mapreduce

example: simple processing #!/bin/bash # search maximum temperatures according to NCDC records for year in all/* do echo -ne `basename $year .gz`”t” gunzip -c $year | awk ‘{ temp = substr($0,88,5) + 0; q = substr($0, 93, 1); if(temp != 9999 && q ~ / [01459]/ && temp > max) max = temp; } END { print max }’ done

example: simple processing • data for last 100 years may take in the order of the hour (and non scalable) • we can express the same in terms of a single map and reduce

example: mapper public class MaxTemperatureMapper extends MapReduceBase implements Mapper<LongWritable, Text, Text, IntWritable> { public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter) throws IOException { String line = value.toString(); String year = line.substring(15, 19); int airTemperature; if (line.charAt(87) == '+') { // parseInt doesn't like leading plus signs airTemperature = Integer.parseInt(line.substring(88, 92)); } else { airTemperature = Integer.parseInt(line.substring(87, 92)); } String quality = line.substring(92, 93); if (airTemperature != MISSING && quality.matches("[01459]")) { output.collect(new Text(year), new IntWritable(airTemperature)); } }

example: reducer public class MaxTemperatureReducer extends MapReduceBase implements Reducer<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> { public void reduce(Text key, Iterator<IntWritable> values, OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter) throws IOException { int maxValue = Integer.MIN_VALUE; while (values.hasNext()) { maxValue = Math.max(maxValue, values.next().get()); } output.collect(key, new IntWritable(maxValue)) } }

example: driver public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { JobConf conf = new JobConf(MaxTemperature.class); conf.setJobName("Max temperature"); FileInputFormat.addInputPath(conf, new Path(args[0])); FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(conf, new Path(args[1])); conf.setMapperClass(MaxTemperatureMapper.class); conf.setReducerClass(MaxTemperatureReducer.class); conf.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class); conf.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class); JobClient.runJob(conf); }

et voilà! • our process runs in order of minutes (for 10 nodes) and is almost-linearly scalable (limit being on how splittable input is)

but it may get verbose... • needs a bit of code to make it work • chain jobs together (sequences can just use JobClient.runJob() but more complex dependencies need JobControl) • also, for simple tasks, you can resort to hadoop streaming unlicensed image from The Matrix, copyright Warner Bros.

pig to the rescue • makes it simpler to write mapreduce programs • PigLatin abstracts you from speciﬁc details and focus on data processing

simple example, now with pig -- max_temp.pig: Finds the maximum temperature by year records = LOAD 'sample.txt' AS (year:chararray, temperature:int, quality:int); filtered_records = FILTER records BY temperature != 9999 AND (quality == 0 OR quality == 1 OR quality == 4 OR quality == 5 OR quality == 9); grouped_records = GROUP filtered_records BY year; max_temp = FOREACH grouped_records GENERATE group, MAX(filtered_records.temperature) DUMP max_temp;

a more complex use • user data collection in one ﬁle • website visits data in log • ﬁnd the top 5 most visited pages by users aged 18 to 25

in mapreduce...

and now with pig... Users = LOAD ‘users’ AS (name, age); Fltrd = FILTER Users BY age >= 18 AND age <= 25; Pages = LOAD ‘pages’ AS (user, url); Jnd = JOIN Fltrd BY name, Pages BY user; Grpd = GROUP Jnd BY url; Smmd = FOREACH Grpd GENERATE group, COUNT(Jnd) AS clicks; Srtd = ORDER Smmd BY clicks DESC; Top5 = LIMIT Srtd 5; STORE Top5 INTO ‘top5sites’;

lots of constructs for data manipulation load/store Read/write data from file system dump Write output to stdout foreach Apply expression to each record and output one or more records filter Apply predicate and remove records that do not return true group/cogroup Collect records with the same key from one or more inputs join Join two or more inputs based on a key cross Generates the cartesian product of two or more inputs order Sort records based on a key distinct Remove duplicate records union Merge two data sets split Split data into 2 or more sets, based on filter conditions limit Limit the number of records stream Send all records through a user provided binary

so, what can we use this for? • log processing and analysis • user preference tracking / recommendations • multimedia processing • ...

example: New York Times • Needed ofﬂine conversion of public domain articles from 1851-1922 • Used Hadoop to convert scanned images to PDF, on 100 Amazon EC2 instances for around 24 hours • 4 TB of input, 1.5 TB of output published in 1892. Copyright The New York Times,
