Hemanth Yamijala updated HADOOP-1301: ------------------------------------- Attachment: hod-hadoop.v3.patch Patch addressing Arun's comment. This one has documentation in Forrest format. But the original text files with the documentation are also there, so one can start looking at them without having to build the Forrest based documentation (as there is nothing existing right now). > resource management proviosioning for Hadoop > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1301 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1301 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Pete Wyckoff > Assignee: Hemanth Yamijala > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: hod-hadoop.patch, hod-hadoop.v2.patch, > hod-hadoop.v3.patch, hod-open-4.tar.gz, hod.0.2.2.tar.gz > > > The Hadoop On Demand (HOD) project addresses the provisioning and managing of > MapReduce instances on cluster resources. With HOD, the MapReduce user > interacts with the cluster solely through a self-service interface and the > JT, TT info ports. The user never needs to log into the cluster or even have > an account on the cluster for that matter. HOD allocates nodes, provisions > MapReduce (and optionally HDFS) on the cluster and when the user is done with > MapReduce jobs, cleanly shuts down MapReduce and de-allocates the nodes > (i.e., re-introducing them to the pool of available resources in the cluster). > Using HOD, a cluster can be shared among different users in a fair and > efficient manner. HOD is not a replacement or re-implementation of a > traditional resource manager. HOD is implemented using the resource manager > paradigm and at present is envisioned supporting Torque and Condor out of the > box. It also supports "static" resources, i.e., a dedicated set of resources > not using a resource manager. > HOD is also self provisioning and, thus, can be used on systems such as EC2 > or a campus cluster not already running MapReduce software or a resouce > manager. Figure 1 depicts a cluster using HOD. As the figure shows, the user > never logs into the cluster itself. The user's jobs run as the 'hod' user (a > configurable unix id). > The user interacts with MapReduce and the cluster using the hod shell, hodsh. > Once in the hodsh, the user can allocate/de-allocate nodes and automatically > run JT, TTs, NN, DNs on those nodes without knowing the specifics of which > nodes are running which or logging into any of those boxes. HOD transparently > masks failures by allocating nodes to replace failed nodes. Once the user has > allocated nodes, she can run /bin/MapReduce my1.jar and then /bin/MapReduce > my2.jar ... from within the hod shell which automatically generates the > configuration file for the MapReduce script. When done, the user will exit > the shell. > The hod shell has an automatic timeout so that users cannot hog resources > they aren't using. The timeout applies only when there is no MapReduce job > running. In addition, hod also has the option of tracking and enforcing > user/group resource limits. > Optionally, HOD can run dedicated log and directory services in the cluster. > The log services are a central repository for collecting and retrieving > Hadoop logs for any given job. The directory service provides an easy way to > inspect what's running in the cluster or for the end user and html > interfacing for getting to their JT and TT info ports. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
