Re: aggregation by time window
Hi again, the idea is that you emit every event multiple times. So your map input record (event1, 10:07) will be emitted seven times during the map() call. Like I said, (10:04,event1), (10:05,event1), ..., (10:10,event1) will be the seven outputs for processing a single event. The output key will be the time stamps in which neighbourhood or interval each event should be joined with events that happened +/- 3 minutes near it. So events which happened within a 7 minutes distance will both be emitted with the same time stamp as the map() output, and thus meet in a reduce() call. A reduce() call will look like this: reduce(10:03, list_of_events). And those events had time stamps between 10:00 and 10:06 in the original input.

Re: Transfer large file 50Gb with DistCp from s3 to cluster
Hi, my guess is that you run hadoop distcp on one of the datanodes... In that case, the node will get the first replica of each block. But you should also see copies on more nodes as well. But that one node will get a replica of all the blocks.

Re: file checksum
HDFS has block checksums. Whenever a block is written to the datanodes, a checksum is calculated and written with the block to the datanodes' disks. Whenever a block is requested, the block's checksum is verified against the stored checksum. If they don't match, that block is corrupt. But since there's additional replicas of the block, chances are high one block is matching the checksum. Corrupt blocks will be scheduled to be rereplicated. Also, to prevent bit rod, blocks are checked periodically (weekly by default, I believe, you can configure that period) in the background.

Re: Secondary namenode fsimage concept
Hi, you're correct when saying the namenode hosts the fsimage file and the edits log file. The fsimage file contains a snapshot of the HDFS metadata (a filename to blocks list mapping). Whenever there is a change to HDFS, it will be appended to the edits file. Think of it as a database transaction log, where changes will not be applied to the datafile, but appended to a log. To prevent the edits file growing infinitely, the secondary namenode periodically pulls these two files, and the namenode starts writing changes to a new edits file. Then, the secondary namenode merges the changes from the edits file with the old snapshot from the fsimage file and creates an updated fsimage file. This updated fsimage file is then copied to the namenode. Then, the entire cycle starts again.

Hi, yes, the secondary namenode is actually a badly named piece of software, as it's not a namenode at all. And it's going to be renamed to checkpoint node. To prevent metadata loss when your namenode fails, you should write the namenode files to a local RAID and also a networked storage (NFS, SAN, DRBD).

Re: phases of Hadoop Jobs
Hi Chen, yes, it saves time to move map() output to the nodes where they will be needed for the reduce() input. After map() has processed the first blocks, it makes sense to copy that output to the reduce nodes. Imagine a very large map() output. If shufflecopy would be postponed after all map nodes are done, we'd wait. So those things happen in parallel. Consider it like Unix pipes where you start processing the output of the first command as the input of the next command. $ command1 | command2 as opposed to store the output first and then process it. $ command1 file ; $command2 file Kai Am 19.09.2011 um 08:20 schrieb He Chen: Hi Kai Thank you for the reply.

My observation had been that if the map phase progresses from 0 to 100%, it matches with the reduce phase progress from 0-33%. For example, if you map progress shows 60%, reduce might show 20%. But the reduce() will not start until all the map() code has processed the entire input. So you will never see the reduce progress higher than 66% when map progress didn't reach 100%. If you see map phase reaching 100%, but reduce phase not making any higher number than 66%, it means your reduce() code is broken or slow because it doesn't produce any output.

Re: Reducer to concatenate string values
Hi Daniel, the values for a single key will be passed to reduce() in a non-predictable order. Actually, when running the same job on the same data again, the order is most likely different every time. If you want the values to be in a sorted way, you need to apply a 'secondary sort'. The basic idea is to attach your values to the key, and then benefit from the sorting Hadoop does on the key. However, you need to write some code to make that happen. Josh wrote a nice series of articles on it, and you will find more if you google for secondary sort. http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2011/03/simple-moving-average-secondary-sort-and-mapreduce-part-1/ http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2011/03/simple-moving-average-secondary-sort-and-mapreduce-part-2/ http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2011/04/simple-moving-average-secondary-sort-and-mapreduce-part-3/ Kai Am 20.09.2011 um 07:43 schrieb Daniel Yehdego: Good evening, I have a certain value output from a mapper and I want to concatenate the string outputs using a Reducer (one reducer).But the order of the concatenated string values is not in order.

Re: Where is the hadoop-examples source code for the Sort example mapper/reducer?
Hi, the Identity Mapper and Reducer do what the name implies, they pretty much return their input as their output. TeraSort relies on the sorting that is built in Hadoop's SortShuffle phase. So, the map() method in TeraSort looks like this: map(offset, line) - (line, _) offset is the key to map() and represents the byte offset of the line (which is the value). map() returns the line as the key and some value which is not needed. reduce() looks like this: reduce(line, values) - (line) Again, the input is returned as is. The sortshuffle layer between map() and reduce() guarantees that keys (lines) will come in sorted order. That's why the overall output will be the sorted input. This all is easy when there's just one reducer. Question to make sure you understood things so far: What's the issue with more than one reducer? Kai Am 13.08.2011 um 17:10 schrieb Sean Hogan: Thanks for the link, but it hasn't helped answer my original question - that Sort.java seems to use IdentityMapper and IdentityReducer. Perhaps it is the Sort.java that is used when executing the below command, but I can't figure out what it actually uses for the mapper and reducer. It's entirely possible I'm just missing something obvious. I'm interested in seeing how the map and reduce fits into sorting with the following command: $ hadoop jar hadoop-*-examples.jar sort input output I'd appreciate it if someone could explain what mappers/reducers are used in that above command (link to the implementation of whatever sort they use and how it fits into MapReduce) Thanks. -Sean -- Kai Voigt k...@123.org
Re: Where is the hadoop-examples source code for the Sort example mapper/reducer?
Good job, in MapReduce you can build your own Partitioner. That is code determining which reducer will get which keys. For simplicity, assume you're running 26 reducers. Your custom Partitioner will make sure the first reducer gets all keys starting with 'a', and so on. Since the keys will be sorted within a single reducer, you can concatenate your 26 output files to get an overall sorted output. Making sense? Kai Am 13.08.2011 um 17:44 schrieb Sean Hogan: Oh, okay, got it - if there was more than one reducer then there needs to be a way to guarantee that the overall output from multiple reducers will still be sorted. So I want to look for where the implementation of the shuffle/sort phase is located. Or find something on how Hadoop implements the MapReduce sort/shuffle phase. Thanks! -Sean -- Kai Voigt k...@123.org
Re: Question about RAID controllers and hadoop

Re: Where is web interface in stand alone operation?
Hi, for further clarification. Are you running in standalone mode (1 JVM which runs everything) or in pseudo-distributed mode (1 Machine, but with 5 JVMs)? With PDM, you can access the web interfaces on ports 50030 and 50070. With SM, you should be able to at least to process monitoring (unix time command, various trace commands) Kai Am 10.08.2011 um 15:58 schrieb A Df: Hello Harsh: See inline at * From: Harsh J ha...@cloudera.com To: common-user@hadoop.apache.org; A Df abbey_dragonfor...@yahoo.com Sent: Wednesday, 10 August 2011, 14:44 Subject: Re: Where is web interface in stand alone operation?

Re: Can I number output results with a Counter?
Also, with speculative execution enabled, you might see a higher count as you expect while the same task is running multiple times in parallel. When a task gets killed because another instance was quicker, those counters will be removed from the global count though. Kai Am 20.05.2011 um 19:34 schrieb Joey Echeverria: Counters are a way to get status from your running job. They don't increment a global state. They locally save increments and periodically report those increments to the central counter. That means that the final count will be correct, but you can't use them to coordinate counts while your job is running. -Joey On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 10:17 AM, Mark Kerzner markkerz...@gmail.com wrote: Joey, You understood me perfectly well.

If you had an upper bound on the number of records a single reducer could output and you can afford to have gaps, you could just use the task id and multiply that by the max number of records and then one up from there. If that doesn't work for you, then you'll need to use some kind of central service for allocating numbers which could become a bottleneck. -Joey On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 9:55 AM, Mark Kerzner markkerz...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, can I use a Counter to give each record in all reducers a consecutive number?

If it IS possible, then how are multiple processes accessing those counters without creating race conditions.
