UNIT – 4

Hadoop Framework:
Hadoop is an open-source framework for distributed storage and processing of large datasets on
clusters of commodity hardware. It provides a distributed file system (HDFS) and a programming
model (MapReduce) for efficiently processing large amounts of data in parallel.

Key Components of Hadoop:

1. Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS): A distributed file system that stores data across
mul ple nodes, providing scalability and fault tolerance.
2. MapReduce: A programming model for processing large datasets in parallel by dividing the
data into smaller chunks, processing them independently, and combining the results.
3. YARN (Yet Another Resource Nego ator): A resource management framework that manages
cluster resources and schedules tasks across mul ple nodes.
4. Hadoop Common: Provides core u li es and libraries for working with Hadoop, including file
I/O, serializa on, and error handling.

Benefits of Hadoop:
1. Scalability: Hadoop can handle large datasets by distribu ng data and processing across
mul ple nodes.
2. Fault Tolerance: Hadoop can withstand node failures by automa cally replica ng data and
restar ng failed tasks.
3. Cost-Effec veness: Hadoop u lizes commodity hardware, reducing the overall cost of
infrastructure.
4. High Performance: MapReduce op mizes data processing by dividing work into parallel
tasks.

MapReduce Programming:
MapReduce is a programming model for processing large datasets in parallel by dividing the data into
smaller chunks, processing them independently, and combining the results. It consists of two main
phases:
1. Map Phase: Each input data chunk is processed by a mapper func on that transforms the
data into key-value pairs.
2. Reduce Phase: Key-value pairs are shuffled and grouped based on their keys, and a reducer
func on aggregates the values for each key, producing the final output.

Using MapReduce:
1. Write mapper and reducer func ons: Define the mapper and reducer func ons to process
and aggregate data.
2. Submit MapReduce job: Submit a MapReduce job to the Hadoop cluster, specifying the input
data, mapper and reducer classes, and output format.
3. Monitor job execu on: Monitor the progress of the MapReduce job using the Hadoop web
UI or command-line tools.
Applica ons of Hadoop and MapReduce:
1. Log Analysis: Analyzing large volumes of log data to iden fy pa erns, trends, and anomalies.
2. Web Data Processing: Processing large datasets from web crawling, clickstream analysis, and
social media interac ons.
3. Scien fic Compu ng: Analyzing large scien fic datasets from experiments, simula ons, and
observa ons.
4. Data Warehousing: Building and maintaining large data warehouses for complex data
analysis and repor ng.

Input/Output (I/O) Formats in MapReduce Programming:

Input/Output (I/O) formats play a crucial role in MapReduce programming by defining how data is
read from and wri en to the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Different I/O formats provide
various op ons for data serializa on, compression, and op miza on, ensuring efficient data handling
and storage.

Purpose of I/O Formats:

I/O formats serve several essen al purposes in MapReduce programming:
1. Data Serializa on: I/O formats convert data structures into a format suitable for storage and
transmission.
2. Compression: I/O formats can compress data to reduce storage space and improve network
transfer efficiency.
3. Spli ng and Combining: I/O formats split data into input splits for parallel processing by
MapReduce tasks.
4. Record Parsing: I/O formats parse input data into key-value pairs for MapReduce processing.

Types of I/O Formats

MapReduce supports various types of I/O formats, each with its own strengths and applica ons:
1. TextInputFormat: The default format, reads text files line by line, genera ng key-value pairs
with line offsets as keys and line contents as values.
2. SequenceFileInputFormat: Reads binary SequenceFiles, which store key-value pairs in a
compressed format.
3. KeyValueTextInputFormat: Reads text files with user-defined delimiters, genera ng key-value
pairs based on the specified delimiters.
4. NLineInputFormat: Reads a fixed number of lines from each input file, genera ng key-value
pairs with byte offsets as keys and lines as values.
5. Custom InputFormat: Allows for implemen ng custom input formats to handle specific data
formats or processing requirements.

Selec ng an Appropriate I/O Format

The choice of I/O format depends on the data format, compression requirements, and processing
needs:
1. Text-based data: Use TextInputFormat or KeyValueTextInputFormat.
2. Binary data: Use SequenceFileInputFormat.
3. Fixed-line data: Use NLineInputFormat.
4. Custom data formats: Implement a custom InputFormat.
Output I/O Formats
MapReduce also provides output I/O formats for wri ng data to HDFS:
1. TextOutputFormat: Writes key-value pairs as lines of text, conver ng values to strings.
2. SequenceFileOutputFormat: Writes key-value pairs as binary SequenceFiles.
3. Mul pleOutputs: Allows for wri ng data to mul ple output files based on user-defined
criteria.
4. Custom OutputFormat: Allows for implemen ng custom output formats to handle specific
data formats or processing requirements.

I/O Formats in MapReduce Jobs

I/O formats are integrated with the MapReduce job configura on:
1. InputFormat: Specified in the job configura on using the map.input.format property.
2. RecordReader: Used by MapReduce tasks to parse input splits into key-value pairs.
3. OutputFormat: Specified in the job configura on using the map.output.format property.
4. RecordWriter: Used by MapReduce tasks to serialize key-value pairs into the appropriate
output format.

Diagram Illustra ng I/O Format Usage in MapReduce

[Input Files] --> TextInputFormat --> Map Tasks --> RecordReader --> Key-Value Pairs --> Shuffle and
Sort --> Reduce Tasks --> RecordWriter --> Output Files

In this diagram, the InputFormat (e.g., TextInputFormat) reads data from input files and splits it into
input splits. Map tasks receive input splits and use the RecordReader to parse them into key-value
pairs. A er shuffling and sor ng, Reduce tasks receive key-value pairs and process them using the
reducer func on. Finally, the OutputFormat (e.g., TextOutputFormat) writes the processed data to
output files.

Map-side Join and Reduce-side Join in MapReduce:

Joins are fundamental opera ons in data analysis, combining data from mul ple sources based on
common a ributes. In MapReduce, two primary join techniques are employed: map-side join and
reduce-side join. These techniques differ in the stage where the join opera on is performed, each
with its own advantages and limita ons.

Map-side Join
In a map-side join, the join opera on is performed during the map phase of a MapReduce job. This
involves distribu ng the data from both tables across the mappers and performing the join within
each mapper.

Advantages of Map-side Join:

1. Reduced Network Traffic: Joins are performed locally within mappers, minimizing data
shuffling across the network.
2. Efficient for Small Tables: Suitable for scenarios where one table is significantly smaller than
the other.
3. Early Data Filtering: Joined data is filtered early in the processing pipeline, reducing the
amount of data passed to the reduce phase.
Disadvantages of Map-side Join:
1. Memory Requirements: Map-side joins require sufficient memory on mappers to hold the
en re join table or a significant por on of it.
2. Performance Bo leneck: May become a performance bo leneck if the join table is large or
the join opera on is complex.
3. Limited Scalability: Can be challenging to scale efficiently for massive datasets due to
memory constraints on mappers.

Reduce-side Join
In a reduce-side join, the join opera on is performed during the reduce phase of a MapReduce job.
This involves shuffling and sor ng data from both tables based on the join key and performing the
join within each reducer.

Advantages of Reduce-side Join:

1. More Scalable: Suitable for handling large datasets as the join opera on is distributed across
reducers.
2. Memory Efficient: Join opera on is performed on smaller chunks of data within each
reducer, reducing memory requirements.
3. Flexible for Complex Joins: Can handle complex join condi ons and larger join tables.

Disadvantages of Reduce-side Join:

1. Increased Network Traffic: Data shuffling occurs during the reduce phase, increasing network
traffic across the cluster.
2. Late Data Filtering: Joined data is filtered later in the processing pipeline, increasing the
amount of data passed to the reduce phase.
3. Poten al Performance Bo leneck: May become a performance bo leneck if the join key is
not evenly distributed across the reduce tasks.

Choosing between Map-side and Reduce-side Join:

The choice between map-side join and reduce-side join depends on the characteris cs of the data
and the desired performance trade-offs:
1. Data Size: For smaller datasets, map-side join may be more efficient due to reduced network
traffic and early data filtering.
2. Join Table Size: If the join table is large, reduce-side join may be preferable due to its
scalability and memory efficiency.
3. Join Complexity: For complex join condi ons, reduce-side join offers greater flexibility and
can handle larger join tables.
4. Cluster Resources: If memory constraints are a concern, reduce-side join may be more
suitable as it distributes the join opera on across reducers.
5. Performance Requirements: For performance-cri cal applica ons, careful considera on of
data size, join complexity, and cluster resources is necessary to choose the most efficient join
technique.

Diagram Illustra ng Map-side and Reduce-side Joins:

[Input Tables] --> Mapper --> Reduce-side Join --> Shuffling and Sor ng --> Reducer --> Output Table

In this diagram, map-side join performs the join within each mapper, while reduce-side join involves
shuffling and sor ng data before joining within each reducer.
Secondary Sor ng in MapReduce
Secondary sor ng is a technique used in MapReduce to sort data in a custom order a er the ini al
sor ng of intermediate key-value pairs. The default sor ng in MapReduce sorts intermediate key-
value pairs by the key, but secondary sor ng allows for addi onal sor ng criteria within each key
group.

Why Secondary Sor ng is Needed

The default sor ng in MapReduce may not always provide the desired order for data analysis. For
instance, if you need to sort values within each key group based on a specific a ribute, secondary
sor ng is necessary.

How Secondary Sor ng Works

Secondary sor ng involves two steps:
1. Custom Key Genera on: In the mapper, the default key is modified to include the addi onal
sor ng criteria. This composite key ensures that all values belonging to the same key group
are sorted according to the specified criteria.
2. Custom Par oner and Grouping Comparator: A custom par oner and grouping
comparator are implemented to ensure that the modified keys are distributed across
reducers in a way that preserves the desired sor ng order.

Benefits of Secondary Sor ng

1. Flexible Data Ordering: Allows for sor ng data based on mul ple criteria, enabling more
comprehensive analysis.
2. Efficient Data Aggrega on: Facilitates efficient aggrega on and summariza on of data within
sorted groups.
3. Improved Performance: Can improve performance by reducing the amount of data shuffled
and sorted during the reduce phase.

Challenges of Secondary Sor ng

1. Increased Complexity: Implementa on requires addi onal code and careful considera on of
data distribu on.
2. Overhead: May introduce some overhead due to the custom key genera on and par oning
process.
3. Careful Design: Requires careful design to ensure that the sor ng order is maintained
throughout the MapReduce pipeline.

Pipelining MapReduce Jobs

Pipelining in MapReduce refers to connec ng mul ple MapReduce jobs sequen ally to process data
in a con nuous manner. This allows for more efficient data processing by reducing the me spent
wri ng and reading intermediate results to disk.

Benefits of Pipelining
1. Reduced I/O Overhead: Minimizes the me spent wri ng and reading intermediate data,
improving overall processing speed.
2. Reduced Latency: Can significantly reduce latency for itera ve tasks, as data is processed in a
con nuous stream.
3. Resource U liza on: Allows for more efficient u liza on of cluster resources by avoiding
unnecessary data storage and I/O opera ons.
Challenges of Pipelining
1. Data Dependency: Requires careful planning to ensure that subsequent jobs have access to
the output of preceding jobs.
2. Error Handling: Error handling becomes more complex as jobs are interconnected, requiring
mechanisms for propaga ng errors and restar ng failed stages.
3. Debugging: Debugging can be more challenging due to the interdependencies between jobs,
requiring careful tracing of data flow and error propaga on.

In this diagram, two MapReduce jobs are connected in a pipeline. The output of Job 1 is directly fed
as input to Job 2, reducing intermediate data storage and I/O overhead.

efficient and scalable analysis of large datasets. It has gained immense popularity in the realm of big
data analy cs due to its in-memory processing capabili es, high performance, and support for a
wide range of data processing tasks.

How Spark Works

Spark operates on a distributed cluster of machines, u lizing in-memory computa ons and efficient
data structures to achieve significant performance gains over tradi onal MapReduce-based
frameworks. The core components of Spark work together to efficiently process large datasets in a

Spark's In-Memory Processing Advantage
Spark's in-memory processing capability is a key factor contribu ng to its performance gains. Instead
of repeatedly reading and wri ng data from disk, Spark can store intermediate results in memory,
significantly reducing I/O opera ons and improving processing speed. This in-memory processing is
par cularly beneficial for itera ve tasks that involve mul ple passes over the data.

In this diagram, the driver program ini ates Spark tasks, which are distributed and executed across
worker nodes. Executors on worker nodes handle the actual data processing, and the output is
stored in a distributed or persistent manner.
Programming with RDDs
Programming with RDDs (Resilient Distributed Datasets) is the fundamental approach to data
processing in Apache Spark. RDDs represent distributed collec ons of data elements that can be
manipulated using various transforma ons and ac ons. Spark's high-level APIs make it easy to write
and maintain RDD-based data processing applica ons.

Crea ng RDDs
RDDs can be created in several ways:
1. Parallelizing an exis ng collec on: A collec on of data elements in the driver program can be
parallelized to create an RDD. For instance, a list of numbers or a string can be converted into
an RDD.
2. Loading data from external sources: Spark can read data from various external sources, such
as text files, HDFS, and databases, and create RDDs accordingly.
3. Transforming exis ng RDDs: New RDDs can be created by transforming exis ng RDDs using
opera ons like map, filter, reduce, and join.

RDD Opera ons

RDDs support two types of opera ons:
1. Transforma ons: Transforma ons create a new RDD from an exis ng one. They don't modify
the original RDD but instead produce a new dataset based on the applied opera on. For
example, map transforms each element of an RDD by applying a func on, filter selects
elements based on a predicate, and join combines RDDs based on a common key.
2. Ac ons: Ac ons return a value to the driver program a er execu ng an opera on on the
RDD. They typically trigger computa ons over the distributed data and provide the result
back to the driver. For instance, reduce aggregates all elements of the RDD using an
associa ve func on, count returns the number of elements, and collect gathers all elements
into a collec on in the driver program.

RDD Example
Consider a simple example of calcula ng the average word length in a text file.
1. Load the text file into an RDD:
val textFileRDD = sc.textFile("input.txt")
2. Convert each line into an RDD of words:
val wordsRDD = textFileRDD.flatMap(_.split("\\s+"))
3. Map each word to its length:
val wordLengthsRDD = wordsRDD.map(_.length)
4. Reduce the word lengths to find the total length of all words:
val totalLength = wordLengthsRDD.reduce(_ + _)
5. Calculate the average word length:
val averageLength = totalLength.toDouble / wordLengthsRDD.count()
This code snippet demonstrates the basic opera ons of crea ng, transforming, and performing
ac ons on RDDs in Spark.

[Output]
In this diagram, the driver program ini ates Spark opera ons on RDDs, which are distributed and
executed across worker nodes. Executors on worker nodes handle the actual data processing, and
the output is returned to the driver program.
Spark Opera ons
Spark opera ons are the fundamental building blocks of data processing in Apache Spark. They
provide a rich set of transforma ons and ac ons for manipula ng Resilient Distributed Datasets
(RDDs) and DataFrames, the primary data structures in Spark.

Transforma ons
Transforma ons create new RDDs or DataFrames from exis ng ones without modifying the original
data. They are lazy opera ons, meaning that they are not executed un l an ac on is triggered. Some
common transforma ons include:
1. map: Applies a func on to each element of an RDD or DataFrame.
2. filter: Selects elements based on a predicate.
3. reduce: Aggregates all elements of an RDD using an associa ve func on.
4. join: Combines two RDDs or DataFrames based on a common key.
5. groupBy: Groups elements based on a key and applies transforma ons to each group.

Ac ons
Ac ons trigger computa ons over the distributed data and return a value to the driver program.
They are eager opera ons, meaning that they are executed immediately when called. Some common
ac ons include:
1. collect: Gathers all elements of an RDD or DataFrame into a collec on in the driver program.
2. count: Returns the number of elements in an RDD or DataFrame.
3. reduceByKey: Aggregates elements within each key group using an associa ve func on.
4. first: Returns the first element of an RDD or DataFrame.
5. take: Returns the specified number of elements from an RDD or DataFrame.

DataFrames
DataFrames are a higher-level abstrac on in Spark that represent organized data in a tabular format
with named columns. They provide a more structured and convenient way to work with data
compared to RDDs. DataFrames can be created from RDDs, external data sources, or by specifying a
schema.

Benefits of DataFrames
1. Structured Data Representa on: DataFrames organize data into rows and columns with
named a ributes, making it easier to understand and manipulate.
2. Type Safety: Spark infers or explicitly defines the data types of DataFrame columns, ensuring
type-safe opera ons and preven ng errors.
3. SQL-like Interface: Spark SQL provides a SQL-like interface for querying and transforming
DataFrames, enabling users with SQL knowledge to perform data analysis tasks.
4. Integra on with Spark Ecosystem: DataFrames seamlessly integrate with other Spark
components, such as RDDs, machine learning libraries, and streaming APIs.

DataFrames in Ac on
Consider a scenario where you have a text file containing employee data with fields like name, age,
and department. Using DataFrames, you can:
1. Read the text file into a DataFrame:
val employeeDF = spark.read.text("employee_data.txt")
2. Select specific columns:
val nameAgeDF = employeeDF.select("name", "age")
3. Filter employees by department:
val salesDeptDF = nameAgeDF.filter(row => row.getString(1) == "Sales")
 4. Calculate average age by department:
val avgAgeDF = salesDeptDF.groupBy("department").avg("age")

This example demonstrates how DataFrames simplify data manipula on tasks, enabling users to
focus on data analysis and insights rather than low-level data wrangling.
