In a large deployment with many concurrent > users, identifying the effects of individual clients on the infrastructure is > a challenge. The use of data pipelining in HDFS and Map/Reduce make it hard > to follow the effects of a given client request through the system. > This proposal is to instrument the HDFS, IPC, and Map/Reduce layers of Hadoop > with X-Trace. X-Trace is an open-source framework for capturing causality of > events in a distributed system. It can correlate operations making up a > single user request, even if those operations span multiple machines. As an > example, you could use X-Trace to follow an HDFS write operation as it is > pipelined through intermediate nodes. Additionally, you could trace a single > Map/Reduce job and see how it is decomposed into lower-layer HDFS operations. > Matei Zaharia and Andy Konwinski initially integrated X-Trace with a local > copy of the 0.14 release, and I've brought that code up to release 0.17. > Performing the integration involves modifying the IPC protocol, > inter-datanode protocol, and some data structures in the map/reduce layer to > include 20-byte long tracing metadata. With release 0.18, the generated > traces could be collected with Chukwa. > I've attached some example traces of HDFS and IPC layers from the 0.17 patch > to this JIRA issue. > More information about X-Trace is available from http://www.x-trace.net/ as > well as in a paper that appeared at NSDI 2007, available online at > http://www.usenix.org/events/nsdi07/tech/fonseca.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
