Well, that obviously depend on the RDBMS' implementation. And although
the case is not as bad as you describe (otherwise you better ask your
RDBMS vendor for your money back), your point is valid. But then
again, a RDBMS is not designed for that kind of work.
What do you mean by "creating splits/map tasks on the fly dynamically"?

As far as i understand the main problem is that you need to create
splits from streaming data with an unknown number of records and
offsets. Its just the same problem as with externally compressed data
(.gz). You need to go through the complete stream (or do a table scan)
to create logical splits. Afterwards each map task needs to seek to
the appropriate offset on a new stream over again. Very expansive. As
with compressed files, no wonder only one map task is started for each
.gz file and will consume the complete file. IMHO the DBInputFormat
should follow this behavior and just create 1 split whatsoever.
Maybe a future version of hadoop will allow to create splits/map tasks
on the fly dynamically?

Indeed sir.
The implementation was designed like you describe for two reasons.
First and
foremost to make is as simple as possible for the user to use a JDBC
database as input and output for Hadoop. Secondly because of the
specific
requirements the MapReduce framework brings to the table (split
distribution, split reproducibility etc).
This design will, as you note, never handle the same amount of data
as HBase
(or HDFS), and was never intended to. That being said, there are a
couple of
ways that the current design could be augmented to perform better
(and, as
in its current form, tweaked, depending on you data and computational
requirements). Shard awareness is one way, which would let each
database/tasktracker-node execute mappers on data where each split
is a
single database server for example.
If you have any ideas on how the current design can be improved,
please do
share.

The 0.19 DBInputFormat class implementation is IMHO only suitable
for
very simple queries working on only few datasets. Thats due to the
fact that it tries to create splits from the query by
1) getting a count of all rows using the specified count query (huge
performance impact on large tables)
2) creating splits by issuing an individual query for each split
with
a "limit" and "offset" parameter appended to the input sql query
Effectively your input query "select * from orders" would become
"select * from orders limit <splitlength> offset <splitstart>" and
executed until count has been reached. I guess this is not working
sql
syntax for oracle.

The same query is working if I write a simple JDBC client and
query the
database. So, I'm probably doing something wrong in the
connection
settings.
But the error looks to be on the query side more than the
connection
side.

a) In this, do we necessarily have to give all the
fieldNames (which
are
the

You may specify only those columns that you are interested in.
b) Do we have to have a orderBy or not necessarily? Does this
relate
to
the
primary key in the table in any ways?
Conditions and order by are not necessary.
a) Is there any restriction on the kind of queries that this
function
can take in the inputQuery string?
I don't think so, but I don't use this method -- I just use the
fieldNames
and tableName method.
I am facing issues in getting this to work with an Oracle
database
and
have no idea of how to debug it (an email sent earlier).
Can anyone give me some inputs on this please?
Create a new table that has one column, put about five
entries into
that
table, then try to get a map job working that outputs the
values to a
text
file. If that doesn't work, post your code and errors.
