Re: Network problems Hadoop 0.20.2 and Terasort on Debian 2.6.32 kernel
Todd Lipcon wrote: Most likely a kernel bug. In previous versions of Debian there was a buggy forcedeth driver, for example, that caused it to drop off the network in high load. Who knows what new bug is in 2.6.32 which is brand spanking new. Yes, it looks like it is a kernel bug alright (see thread on kernel netdev at http://marc.info/?t=12709428891r=1w=2 if interested). To be fair, I don't think these bugs are confined to Debian - I did some initial testing with Scientific Linux and also ran into problems with forcedeth. The overwhelming majority of production clusters run on RHEL 5.3 or RHEL 5.4 in my experience (I'm lumping CentOS 5.3/5.4 in with RHEL here). I know one or two production clusters running Debian Lenny, but none running something as new as what you're talking about. This is useful info - much appreciated. I guess if we don't manage to stabilise the current config we'll look at moving to one of those. Hadoop doesn't exercise the new features in very recent kernels, so there's no sense accepting instability - just go with something old that works! Sure, but I figured I'd go with a distro now that can be largely left untouched for the next 2-3 years and Debian lenny felt that bit old for that. I know RHEL/CentOS would fit that requirement also, will see. I'm also interested in using DRBD in some of our nodes for redundancy, again, running with a newer distro should reduce the pain of configuring that. Finally, I figured burning in our cluster was a good opportunity to give back to the community and do some testing on their behalf. With regard to our TeraSort benchmark time of ~23 minutes - is that in the right ballpark for a cluster of 45 data nodes and a nn and 2nn?

How do I use MapFile Reader and Writer
I have a large text file, approximately 500mb containing key value pairs on each line. I would like to implement Hadoop MapFile so that I can access any key,value pair fairly quickly. To construct either the Reader or Writer the MapFile requires a Configurations object and a File System object. I am confused as to how to create either object, and why they are necessary. Would someone be so kind to demonstrate to me a trivial example as to how I can accomplish this.

Announcement: Hadoop Training - new courses (Hive and HBase), new locations, and discounts
Hadoop Fans, we wanted to share some news with the Hadoop community about new upcoming courses, new locations, and a substantial discount on next week's session in the Bay Area. We're excited to offer an extended sysadmin course and new courses on Hive and HBase at this year's Hadoop Summit. You can see full details here: http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-training/hadoop-summit-2010/ (and if you join us, we'll pick up your Hadoop Summit registration fee!) In order to allow more time for the team to prepare, we're going to cancel our public developer session in the Bay Area this May. We realize this can cause some inconvenience for those planning to attend, so we're offering a 30% discount if you'd like to join us next week instead. For those of you that can't wait until June, you can register using this link: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/603632481?discount=apache_discount We still have courses scheduled in NYC (developers: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/596084906 sysadmins: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/596093933) and Chicago (developers: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/630785697) this May for those of you that can't make it to California. Also, for our friends across the pond, we recently opened courses in London (developers: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/635703406) and Berlin (developers: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/635728481) in June for early registration.

Re: Optimal setup for a test problem
Good to know... The problem is that I'm in an academic environment that needs a lot of convincing regarding new computational technologies. I need to show proven benefit before getting the funds to actually implement anything. These servers were the best I could come up with for this proof-of-concept. I changed some settings on the nodes and have been experimenting - and I'm seeing about 3.4 mb/sec with TestDFSIO which is pretty consistent with your observations below. Given that, would increasing the block sizes help my performance? This should result in fewer map jobs and keeping the computation locally, longer...? I just need to show that the numbers are better than a single machine, even if sacrificing redundancy (or other factors) in the current setup. @alex: Thanks for the links, it gives me another bit of evidence to convince those controlling the money flow... --Andrew On Tue, 13 Apr 2010 10:29:06 -0700, Todd Lipcon t...@cloudera.com wrote: On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 1:45 PM, Andrew Nguyen andrew-lists-had...@ucsfcti.org wrote: I don't think you can :-).

Yes - in my experience on gigabit, when lots of transfers are going between the nodes, TCP performance actually drops to around half the network capacity. In the case of 100Mbps, this is probably going to be around 5MB/sec So when you're writing output at 3x replication, it's going to be very very slow on this network. -Todd On Apr 12, 2010, at 1:31 PM, Todd Lipcon wrote: On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 1:05 PM, Andrew Nguyen andrew-lists-had...@ucsfcti.org wrote: 5 identically spec'ed nodes, each has: 2 GB RAM Pentium 4 3.0G with HT 250GB HDD on PATA 10Mbps NIC This is probably your issue - 10mbps nic?

As an initial exercise to gain a better understanding, I have attempted to run the following problem (which isn't the type of problem that Hadoop was really designed for, as is my understanding). I have a 6G data file, that contains key/value of sample number, sample value. I'd like to convert the values based on a gain/offset to their physical units. I've setup a MapReduce job using streaming where the mapper does the conversion, and the reducer is just an identity reducer. Based on other threads on the mailing list, my initial results are consistent in the fact that it takes considerably more time to process this in Hadoop then it is on my Macbook pro (45 minutes vs. 13 minutes). The input is a single 6G file and it looks like the file is being split into 101 map tasks. This is consistent with the 64M block sizes. So my questions are: * Would it help to increase the block size to 128M? Or, decrease the block size? What are some key factors to think about with this question? * Are there any other optimizations that I could employ? I have looked into LzoCompression but I'd like to still work without compression since the single thread job that I'm comparing to doesn't use any sort of compression. I know I'm comparing apples to pears a little here so please feel free to correct this assumption. * Is Hadoop really only good for jobs where the data doesn't fit on a single node? At some level, I assume that it can still speedup jobs that do fit
Per-file block size
I thought I saw a way to specify the block size for individual files using the command-line using hadoop dfs -put/copyFromLocal... However, I can't seem to find the reference anywhere. I see that I can do it via the API but no references to a command-line mechanism. Am I just remembering something that doesn't exist? Or, can some point me in the right direction. Thanks! --Andrew

Hi, Pass the -D property in command line. eg: Hadoop fs -Ddfs.block.size=multiple of checksum .
