BIG DATA
IS TRANSFORMING
BUSINESS


Big Data in Action
• Healthcare

– Leverage historical data to discover better
treatments

• Financial Services

– Data-driven banking stress tests & risk
analysis

• Utilities

– Machine-learning to predict service outages
& prevent energy theft


Hadoop & Big Data


The Promise of Big Data Analytics
 Leverage data assets to identify key
trends and new business opportunities

 Analyze new sources of information to
gain competitive advantages

 Take an agile approach to analytics that
can adapt at the speed of business

 Scale your storage and analysis
platform to handle Big Data’s volume,
velocity and variety


The Emergence of Hadoop
• Created 5-6 years ago by former Yahoo!
Engineer, Doug Cutting
• Software platform designed to analyze
massive amounts of unstructured data
• Two core components:
– Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) (storage)

– MapReduce (compute)

• Now a top-level Apache project backed by
large, open source development community


MapReduce
•"Map" step: The master node takes the input, divides it into
smaller sub-problems, and distributes them to worker nodes. A
worker node may do this again in turn, leading to a multi-level
tree structure. The worker node processes the smaller problem,
and passes the answer back to its master node.

•"Reduce" step: The master node then collects the answers to all
the sub-problems and combines them in some way to form the
output – the answer to the problem it was originally trying to
solve.


MapReduce


Services for MapReduce
•JobTracker – A master node that manages job submissions, scheduling
and reprocessing in case of job failures. Jobs consist of a mapper, a
reducer and a list of inputs.
•TaskTracker- Each slave node in the cluster runs a TaskTracker process.
The JobTracker instructs the TaskTrackers to run and monitor a task. A
task consists of a map or a reduce over a piece of data.


HDFS – Hadoop Distributed Filesystem
• HDFS is a filesystem designed for storing very large files with
streaming data access patterns, running on clusters of
commodity hardware.
•HDFS has a permissions model for files and directories that is
much like POSIX.


Services for HDFS
•Namenode - manages the filesystem namespace. It maintains the
filesystem tree and the metadata for all the files and directories in the
tree. This information is stored persistently on the local disk in the form
of two files: the namespace image and the edit log.
•Datanode- Workhorses of the filesystem. They store and retrieve
blocks when they are told to (by clients or the namenode), and they
report back to the namenode periodically with lists of blocks that they
are storing.
•Secondary Namenode - Its main role is to periodically merge the
namespace image with the edit log to prevent the edit log from
becoming too large. The secondary namenode usually runs on a
separate physical machine


Hadoop Eco-System Components
 Pig - A high-level data-flow language and execution framework for parallel computation
 Mahout - A Scalable machine learning and data mining library
 Hive - A data warehouse infrastructure that provides data summarization and ad hoc
querying (SQL)
 Hbase - A scalable, distributed database that supports structured data storage for large
tables
 R(RHIPE) – Combines Hadoop + R analytics language

Why Hadoop is Important
 Pragmatic approach to analytics on a very large scale
– Opens up new ways of gaining insights and identifying
opportunities for businesses

 Designed to address the rise of unstructured data
– Enterprise data to grow by 650% over next 5 years

– More than 80% of this growth will be unstructured data

Technology Challenges
of Hadoop


Hadoop Architecture
1. Data is ingested into the Hadoop File System (HDFS)
2. Computation occurs inside Hadoop (MapReduce)
3. Results are exported from HDFS for use

Writing into Hadoop with Isilon

•Isilon becomes the namenode as well as the data node
•Provides scalability and protection of the data.
•Hadoop cluster no longer has a single point of failure and no longer writes
multiple 64MB-128MB chunks of data to datanodes


Reading Hadoop Data with Isilon

Data is read off the cluster back to the compute nodes.
 The datanodes are now just compute nodes and are
independent of the data in the Hadoop cluster.
–Benefits are that the Hadoop hardware can be upgraded without the need
for migration of the data
