Luke Lu commented on MAPREDUCE-2911:
------------------------------------
Couple of comments based on what I've seen so far:
# We should not pick a specific MPI implementation (Open-MPI), which is not
secure (unlike the current Hadoop RPC, Open-MPI wire protocols are not "secure"
(with caveats)). The only secure MPI implementation that I'm aware of is a
research project called ES-MPICH2, which is of course based on MPICH2.
# Use mpiexec instead mpirun by default as the former is specified by the MPI
standard.
# Make environment management commands (mpiexec etc.) configurable.
I'm on vacation, so expect high latencies in response :)

> MPI is commonly used for many machine-learning applications. OpenMPI
> (http://www.open-mpi.org/) is a popular BSD-licensed version of MPI. In the
> past, running MPI application on a Hadoop cluster was achieved using Hadoop
> Streaming (http://videolectures.net/nipsworkshops2010_ye_gbd/), but it was
> kludgy. After the resource-manager separation from JobTracker in Hadoop, we
> have all the tools needed to make MPI a first-class citizen on a Hadoop
> cluster. I am currently working on the patch to make MPI an
> application-master. Initial version of this patch will be available soon
> (hopefully before September 10.) This jira will track the development of
> Hamster: The application master for MPI.
