This seminar presentation provides an overview of scheduling methods in the Hadoop MapReduce framework. It begins with motivations for using distributed computing for big data and introduces Hadoop and MapReduce. The presentation then surveys several proposed scheduling methods, including static methods like FIFO and adaptive methods like the Fair Scheduler. It summarizes five research papers on scheduling, discussing proposed approaches like optimizing job completion time and learning node capabilities for heterogeneous clusters. The presentation concludes that scheduling algorithms should improve data locality and use prediction to efficiently schedule jobs on heterogeneous Hadoop clusters.
