UNIT V PROGRAMMING MODEL

Introduction to Hadoop Framework in PROGRAMMING MODEL

Key Components of Hadoop Framework:

1. Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS):

o HDFS is a distributed file system that stores data across multiple
machines without prior organization. It provides high throughput
access to application data and is designed to be fault-tolerant.
2. MapReduce:
o MapReduce is a programming model and processing engine for
distributed computing on large datasets. It allows parallel processing
of data across a cluster of computers.
3. YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator):
o YARN is the resource management layer of Hadoop. It manages
resources in the cluster and schedules tasks across nodes, allowing
different data processing engines like MapReduce, Spark, and others
to run on Hadoop.

Programming Model in Hadoop:

 1. MapReduce Paradigm:
o The core of Hadoop's programming model is based on the MapReduce
paradigm.
o Mapper: The mapper processes input data and emits intermediate
key-value pairs.
o Reducer: The reducer aggregates values associated with the same
intermediate key.
o Combiner: Optional but often used to perform local aggregation of
mapper output to reduce data transferred to reducers.
o Partitioner: Determines which reducer gets which key from the
mapper's output based on a partitioning function.
2. Data Flow:
o Input data is split into chunks (input splits), which are processed by
mapper tasks.
o Mappers produce intermediate key-value pairs.
o Intermediate data is sorted and shuffled across the network to
appropriate reducers.
o Reducers aggregate and process the intermediate data to produce final
output.
3. Programming Interfaces:
o Hadoop provides APIs for Java (the native language for Hadoop), as
well as streaming interfaces for other languages like Python, enabling
developers to write MapReduce applications in their preferred
language.

Use Cases:

 Batch Processing: Ideal for processing large volumes of data where latency
is not critical.
 ETL (Extract, Transform, Load): Efficiently handles data transformation
and loading into data warehouses or analytics platforms.
 Log Processing, Search Indexing, Recommendation Systems:
Applications where distributed computing and fault tolerance are crucial.

Advantages:

 Scalability: Scales horizontally by adding more commodity hardware to the

cluster.
 Fault Tolerance: Hadoop handles hardware failures gracefully through
replication and job recovery mechanisms.
  Cost-Effective: Uses inexpensive, commodity hardware to build large-scale
clusters.

Limitations:

 Latency: Not suitable for low-latency processing due to the overhead of data
distribution and task scheduling.
 Complexity: Setting up and managing a Hadoop cluster requires expertise
and infrastructure.

Map reduce, Input splitting, map in PROGRAMMING

MODEL

Input Splitting in Hadoop:

Input splitting is a fundamental concept in Hadoop's MapReduce framework

designed to handle large datasets efficiently across distributed systems. Here’s how
it works:

1. Large Dataset Handling: Hadoop operates on datasets that are typically

much larger than what can be stored or processed on a single machine.
These datasets are stored in the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
2. Splitting Data: Before processing begins, Hadoop divides the input dataset
into smaller manageable chunks called input splits. Each split represents a
portion of the input data and is typically a sizeable chunk of data (often
around 64MB to 128MB by default, but configurable).
3. Independence: Input splits are processed independently by individual
mapper tasks. This allows mappers to work on different parts of the dataset
concurrently across multiple nodes in a Hadoop cluster.
 4. Location Awareness: Hadoop tries to place input splits on nodes where the
data resides (data locality). This minimizes data transfer across the network
and improves overall performance by leveraging local storage.

Map Phase in Hadoop's Programming Model:

The Map phase is the initial stage of the MapReduce computation process, where
each input split is processed by a mapper function. Here’s how it operates:

1. Mapper Function: The user-defined mapper function is applied to each

record within an input split. The main purpose of the mapper is to process
individual records and emit intermediate key-value pairs based on the
processing logic defined by the programmer.
2. Key-Value Pairs: The output of the mapper function consists of
intermediate key-value pairs. These pairs are typically different from the
input format and are generated based on the transformation logic applied
within the mapper.
3. Parallel Execution: Each input split is processed independently by a
mapper task. Therefore, if there are multiple input splits, multiple mapper
tasks can run in parallel across different nodes in the Hadoop cluster.
4. Shuffling and Sorting: After the mapper phase completes, Hadoop sorts
and shuffles the intermediate key-value pairs. This process groups together
all intermediate values associated with the same intermediate key across all
mappers.

Example Scenario:

Let’s consider a simple example where we have a large log file stored in HDFS.
Hadoop would:

 Split the Input: Divide the log file into manageable chunks (input splits).
 Mapper Execution: Run a mapper task on each input split, where each
mapper processes lines of the log file, extracts relevant information (like
timestamps or error types), and emits intermediate key-value pairs (e.g.,
{timestamp, 1} or {error_type, 1}).
 Parallelism: Multiple mappers can work simultaneously on different splits,
taking advantage of the distributed nature of Hadoop.

Benefits:
  Scalability: Allows processing of large datasets by distributing work across
multiple nodes.
 Efficiency: Minimizes data transfer and maximizes data locality, improving
overall performance.
 Fault Tolerance: Redundancy and resilience built into the Hadoop
framework ensure that tasks can be retried on failure.

Reduce functions in PROGRAMMING MODEL

Serverless Computing: This model allows developers to focus on writing

functions (often called serverless functions or FaaS - Function as a Service)
without managing the underlying infrastructure. Functions are reduced to small
units of deployment, triggered by events, and scaled automatically by the cloud
provider. This reduces the operational overhead and optimizes resource utilization.

Microservices Architecture: Breaking down applications into smaller,

independent services (microservices) reduces the complexity of each function.
Each microservice typically handles a specific business function and can be
independently deployed and scaled. This approach improves agility, scalability,
and fault isolation.

Containerization: By packaging functions (or microservices) and their

dependencies into containers (e.g., Docker containers), developers ensure
consistency across different environments. Containers encapsulate the runtime
environment, making it easier to deploy and scale functions across cloud resources
efficiently.

Event-Driven Architecture: Functions can be designed to respond to events

(such as HTTP requests, database changes, or message queue events). This
asynchronous approach allows functions to execute only when needed, reducing
idle time and optimizing resource utilization. It also enables loosely coupled
systems that can scale based on demand.

Optimizing Compute Resources: Cloud providers offer various compute

instance types optimized for different workloads (e.g., CPU-intensive, memory-
intensive). Choosing the right instance type for each function can improve
performance and reduce costs by matching resources to workload requirements.

Performance Monitoring and Optimization: Continuous monitoring of

function performance helps identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies. Optimization
techniques such as caching, code refactoring, and leveraging cloud-native services
(like managed databases or caching layers) can further improve function
efficiency.

Cost Optimization: Functions can be optimized for cost by leveraging auto-

scaling capabilities, choosing cost-effective storage options, and optimizing data
transfer between functions and other cloud services. Cloud providers often offer
pricing models that align with usage patterns, allowing cost-effective scaling of
functions.

specifying input and output parameters in

PROGRAMMING MODEL
1. Serverless Computing (Function as a Service - FaaS)

In serverless computing, functions are the primary unit of execution. Here’s how
input and output parameters are handled:

 Input Parameters:
o Event Triggers: Functions are triggered by events such as HTTP
requests, database changes, or messages from a queue. Input
parameters often include data contained within these events.
o Context Object: Contains metadata about the execution environment
and event details (e.g., HTTP headers, request path).
o Payload: Additional data passed to the function, often in JSON
format, containing specific input parameters required for processing.
 Output Parameters:
o Return Values: Functions typically return a result after processing
the input data. This can be in the form of a response to an HTTP
request, an updated record in a database, or a message published to a
queue.
o Error Handling: Functions can also specify error codes, exceptions,
or error messages to handle failure scenarios.

2. Microservices Architecture

Microservices are designed as independent services, each with its own set of input
and output parameters. Here’s how it’s managed:

 Input Parameters:
o API Contracts: Each microservice defines its API contract,
specifying the structure and format of input parameters (e.g., JSON
schema for REST APIs).
o Message Formats: Microservices can communicate via messages
(e.g., using protocols like AMQP or Kafka), where messages
encapsulate input data.
 Output Parameters:
o Response Formats: Microservices return data in defined response
formats, often JSON or XML, depending on the API contract.
o Eventual Consistency: Some microservices might provide eventual
consistency guarantees, where output data might not be immediately
updated across all services but eventually converges.

3. Containerized Applications
Containers encapsulate applications and their dependencies, influencing how input
and output parameters are managed:

 Input Parameters:
o Environment Variables: Containers can use environment variables
to pass configuration details and input parameters during runtime.
o Command-Line Arguments: Parameters can also be passed to
containerized applications as command-line arguments.
o Configuration Files: Applications can read input parameters from
configuration files mounted into the container.
 Output Parameters:
o Log Files: Applications typically log output to standard output
(stdout) or standard error (stderr), which can be captured and
processed.
o Data Persistence: Containers can store output data in mounted
volumes or external storage systems.

4. Event-Driven Architecture

Event-driven architectures rely on events to trigger and communicate between

services:

 Input Parameters:
o Event Payload: Events contain data payloads that serve as input
parameters to downstream services or functions.
o Event Metadata: Additional metadata provides context about the
event source and type.
 Output Parameters:
o Event Responses: Services can emit events as output, triggering
further processing or notifying other services.
o State Updates: Services might update their state or publish data
updates in response to events.

Best Practices:

 Data Validation: Validate input parameters to ensure they meet expected

formats and constraints.
 Schema Design: Use standardized schemas (e.g., JSON schema) for
defining input and output structures to ensure compatibility and consistency.
 Error Handling: Implement robust error handling to manage exceptions
and failures gracefully.
  Security: Securely handle sensitive data and validate inputs to prevent
security vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL injection, XSS attacks).

configuring and running a job in PROGRAMMING

MODEL

1. Serverless Computing (Function as a Service - FaaS)

In a serverless environment, jobs are often represented as functions triggered by

events. Here’s how you configure and run a job:

 Configuration:
o Function Definition: Write the function code to perform the job's
task.
o Trigger Configuration: Define event triggers (e.g., HTTP requests,
database changes, queue messages) that invoke the function.
o Environment Variables: Set any necessary environment variables
that the function requires.
 Execution:
 o Deployment: Deploy the function to the serverless platform (e.g.,
AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions).
o Invocation: Trigger the function either manually or through
configured events.
o Monitoring: Monitor function execution and performance through
cloud provider dashboards or logging services.

2. Containerized Applications

Containers provide a more flexible environment for configuring and running jobs
with dependencies. Here’s how it’s typically done:

 Configuration:
o Dockerfile: Create a Dockerfile that specifies the application
environment, dependencies, and commands to run the job.
o Environment Configuration: Use environment variables or
configuration files to parameterize the job execution.
 Execution:
o Build Image: Build a Docker image containing the job’s executable
environment.
o Container Orchestration: Use container orchestration tools (e.g.,
Kubernetes, Docker Swarm) to deploy and manage containers at
scale.
o Job Scheduling: Define job scheduling using Kubernetes cron jobs or
other scheduling mechanisms provided by the orchestration platform.

3. Batch Processing (Traditional or Cloud-Native)

For batch processing jobs that run periodically or on-demand, cloud-native

solutions or traditional batch processing frameworks can be utilized:

 Configuration:
o Job Definition: Define the job using batch processing frameworks
(e.g., Apache Spark, Apache Flink) or cloud-native services (e.g.,
AWS Batch, Google Cloud Dataproc).
o Input and Output Configuration: Specify input data sources (e.g.,
files, databases) and output destinations (e.g., storage services).
 Execution:
o Job Submission: Submit the job to the batch processing framework or
service.
 o Parameterization: Configure job parameters such as input paths,
output paths, and computational resources (e.g., CPU, memory).
o Monitoring: Monitor job execution, status, and resource usage
through the batch processing framework’s interface or cloud
provider’s monitoring tools.

4. Event-Driven Architecture

In an event-driven architecture, jobs can be triggered by events and processed

asynchronously:

 Configuration:
o Event Sources: Define event sources (e.g., message queues, event
streams) that trigger job execution.
o Event Processing Logic: Implement logic to process events and
execute jobs based on event triggers.
 Execution:
o Event Subscription: Subscribe to events from event sources.
o Job Execution: Execute jobs in response to received events.
o Scalability: Ensure jobs can scale horizontally to handle varying
event loads.

Best Practices:

 Parameterization and Configuration Management: Use configuration

management tools (e.g., Kubernetes ConfigMaps, environment variables) to
manage job parameters and configurations consistently.
 Error Handling: Implement robust error handling and retry mechanisms to
manage job failures gracefully.
 Security: Securely handle sensitive data and restrict access to job execution
environments as necessary.
 Monitoring and Logging: Implement logging and monitoring to track job
execution, performance metrics, and detect issues promptly.

Example Scenario: Deploying a Thread-Based Application on Aneka

Here's a simplified example of deploying a thread-based application using Aneka:

1. Application Development: Develop an application in Java that utilizes

threads for parallel processing of tasks.

java
Copy code
public class ThreadExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Thread thread1 = new Thread(new Task("Task 1"));
Thread thread2 = new Thread(new Task("Task 2"));

thread1.start();
thread2.start();
}
}

class Task implements Runnable {

private String taskName;

public Task(String name) {

this.taskName = name;
}

public void run() {

System.out.println("Executing " + taskName);
// Task logic
}
}

2. Deploying on Aneka: Package the application into a deployable format

(e.g., JAR file) and deploy it on Aneka.
3. Execution: Aneka dynamically allocates threads across available nodes in
the cloud environment, manages their execution, and ensures efficient

Aneka: Task Programming and Map in

PROGRAMMING MODEL
Aneka: Task Programming and Map in Cloud Computing

1. Task Programming Model

Task programming in Aneka involves breaking down applications into smaller

tasks that can be executed independently across distributed resources. Aneka
manages task execution, resource allocation, and scheduling to optimize
performance and resource utilization.

 Task Definition: Developers define tasks that encapsulate specific

computations or actions to be performed.
 Task Submission: Tasks are submitted to Aneka, which manages their
deployment and execution across available compute nodes in the cloud.
 Task Monitoring: Aneka provides monitoring and management capabilities
to track task progress, resource usage, and overall application performance.

Example of Task Programming in Aneka:

java
Copy code
import aneka.*;
import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
public class TaskExample {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

Cloud cloud = CloudFactory.getCloud();

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

final int taskId = i;
Task task = new Task(new Callable<String>() {
public String call() {
return "Task " + taskId + " executed on " +
cloud.getMyHost().getName();
}
});
cloud.submitTask(task);
}

cloud.waitForTaskCompletion();
cloud.shutdown();
}
}

In this example:

 Tasks are defined using Java's Callable interface.

 Tasks are submitted to Aneka's Cloud instance, which manages task
execution.
 Each task executes a simple computation (returning a string indicating task
execution).

2. Map Programming Model

Aneka supports Map-based programming models, which are particularly useful for
processing large datasets in parallel across multiple nodes in a cloud environment.
This model is inspired by the MapReduce paradigm popularized by Hadoop:

 Map Function: The map function processes individual data elements and
emits intermediate key-value pairs.
 Reduce Function: Optionally, the reduce function aggregates and processes
intermediate results produced by the map function.
Aneka abstracts the complexities of distributed data processing and resource
management, allowing developers to focus on application logic rather than
infrastructure management.

Example of Map Programming in Aneka:

java
Copy code
import aneka.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class MapExample {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

Cloud cloud = CloudFactory.getCloud();

// Sample data
List<String> data = Arrays.asList("apple", "banana", "cherry", "date",
"elderberry");

// Map phase
List<Task> mapTasks = data.stream()
.map(word -> new Task(() -> word.toUpperCase()))
.collect(Collectors.toList());

// Submit map tasks

for (Task task : mapTasks) {
cloud.submitTask(task);
}

cloud.waitForTaskCompletion();

// Reduce phase (optional)

Task reduceTask = new Task(() -> {
String result = mapTasks.stream()
.map(Task::getResult)
.collect(Collectors.joining(", "));
return "Reduced result: " + result;
});
 cloud.submitTask(reduceTask);
cloud.waitForTaskCompletion();

// Print final result

System.out.println(reduceTask.getResult());

cloud.shutdown();
}
}

In this example:

 Data is processed using a map function to convert each word to uppercase.

 Each map task is submitted to Aneka for parallel execution.
 A reduce task aggregates results from map tasks (optional).

Key Features of Aneka

 Resource Management: Aneka manages cloud resources dynamically,

optimizing resource allocation based on application demands.
 Scalability: It supports horizontal scaling by adding or removing compute
nodes based on workload.
 Fault Tolerance: Aneka includes mechanisms for fault tolerance to ensure
reliable execution of tasks and applications.
 Integration: It integrates with various programming languages and
frameworks, making it versatile for different application requirements.

Reduce Programming in Aneka in PROGRAMMING

MODEL
Reduce Programming in Aneka

Reduce programming in Aneka involves aggregating results from multiple tasks or

computations executed in parallel across distributed nodes. This approach is
particularly useful for handling large-scale data processing and analytics tasks
efficiently in cloud computing environments.

Key Concepts:

1. Task Execution and Result Aggregation:

o Aneka allows tasks to be executed across multiple nodes in the cloud.
o After the completion of individual tasks (e.g., map tasks), the results
can be aggregated or reduced to produce a final output.
2. Dependency on Task Results:
o Reduce tasks typically depend on the results produced by preceding
map tasks.
o Aneka provides mechanisms to manage task dependencies and ensure
proper sequencing of execution.
3. Parallelism and Scalability:
 o Aneka supports parallel execution of tasks, leveraging the scalability
of cloud resources.
o Reduce operations can be distributed across multiple nodes to process
large datasets efficiently.

Example Scenario:

Let’s consider an example where we want to compute the sum of squares of a list
of numbers using Aneka's task-based model, with a reduce operation to aggregate
the results:

java
Copy code
import aneka.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.Callable;

public class ReduceExample {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

Cloud cloud = CloudFactory.getCloud();

// Sample data
List<Integer> data = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

// Map phase (compute squares)

List<Task> mapTasks = data.stream()
.map(num -> new Task(new SquareTask(num)))
.collect(Collectors.toList());

// Submit map tasks

for (Task task : mapTasks) {
cloud.submitTask(task);
}

cloud.waitForTaskCompletion();

// Reduce phase (compute sum of squares)

Task reduceTask = new Task(new ReduceTask(mapTasks));
 cloud.submitTask(reduceTask);

cloud.waitForTaskCompletion();

// Print final result

System.out.println("Sum of squares: " + reduceTask.getResult());

cloud.shutdown();
}

static class SquareTask implements Callable<Integer> {

private int number;

public SquareTask(int number) {

this.number = number;
}

public Integer call() {

return number * number;
}
}

static class ReduceTask implements Callable<Integer> {

private List<Task> tasks;

public ReduceTask(List<Task> tasks) {

this.tasks = tasks;
}

public Integer call() {

int sum = 0;
for (Task task : tasks) {
sum += (Integer) task.getResult(); // Assumes task returns Integer
}
return sum;
}
}
}

In this example:
  Map Phase: Each number in the data list is squared using a SquareTask.
 Reduce Phase: The results from the SquareTask tasks are aggregated using
a ReduceTask to compute the sum of squares.

Key Considerations:

 Task Dependency: Ensure that reduce tasks only execute after all
prerequisite map tasks have completed.
 Result Handling: Aneka provides mechanisms (Task.getResult()) to
retrieve and aggregate task results efficiently.
 Scalability: Aneka's ability to distribute tasks across multiple nodes ensures
scalability for reduce operations handling large datasets.
