Hadoop Tutorial

What is Big Data?
Big Data refers to extremely large and complex data sets that traditional data processing software cannot manage efficiently. It includes data generated at high velocity from diverse sources such as social media, sensors, and transactions.

// No code; concept explanation

Characteristics of Big Data (Volume, Velocity, Variety)
Big Data is characterized by the 3Vs: Volume (huge data amounts), Velocity (speed of data generation), and Variety (different data types including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured).

// Example: Data types from JSON to videos

Challenges in Big Data Processing
Managing Big Data involves challenges like storing massive volumes, processing speed, data quality, security, and integrating diverse data sources efficiently.

// Traditional DBs may fail at scale; Hadoop addresses these issues

Overview of Hadoop as a Solution
Hadoop is an open-source framework designed to store and process Big Data using distributed computing on commodity hardware, providing scalability, fault tolerance, and cost-effectiveness.

// Hadoop stores data in HDFS and processes it using MapReduce

Hadoop vs Traditional Databases
Unlike relational databases designed for structured data, Hadoop handles unstructured and massive data with distributed storage and parallel processing.

// Traditional SQL: SELECT * FROM table;
// Hadoop: MapReduce jobs process large datasets in parallel

History and Evolution of Hadoop
Hadoop originated from Google’s papers on MapReduce and GFS. It was created by Doug Cutting and Mike Cafarella in 2006, evolving rapidly to include many ecosystem tools.

// Timeline: 2006 Hadoop creation -> growing ecosystem -> enterprise adoption

Hadoop Ecosystem Components Overview
The ecosystem includes HDFS, YARN, MapReduce, Hive, Pig, HBase, Sqoop, Flume, Oozie, and Spark, among others, each addressing specific Big Data needs.

// Example: HDFS for storage, Hive for querying, Spark for fast processing

Use Cases of Hadoop in Industry
Hadoop is used in sectors like finance, healthcare, retail, telecom, and social media for fraud detection, customer analytics, risk management, and recommendation engines.

// Retail: analyze purchase history;
// Telecom: detect network failures

Benefits of Hadoop for Enterprises
Hadoop offers scalable storage, cost savings, fault tolerance, flexibility in data types, and the ability to handle real-time and batch processing.

// Enterprises scale data processing without expensive hardware

Setting up Your Hadoop Learning Environment
Beginners set up Hadoop on local machines using single-node clusters, virtual machines, or cloud platforms for hands-on learning.

# Start Hadoop on local
$ start-dfs.sh
$ start-yarn.sh

Core Hadoop Components (HDFS, MapReduce, YARN)
HDFS stores data distributed across nodes; MapReduce processes data in parallel; YARN manages resources and schedules jobs.

// Example: HDFS CLI
hdfs dfs -ls /

Apache Hive
Hive provides a SQL-like interface to query data stored in HDFS, enabling easier data analysis using HiveQL.

CREATE TABLE sales(id INT, amount FLOAT);
SELECT * FROM sales WHERE amount > 1000;

Apache Pig
Pig is a scripting platform for analyzing large datasets with a language called Pig Latin, simplifying MapReduce jobs.

A = LOAD 'data' AS (field1:int, field2:chararray);
B = FILTER A BY field1 > 10;
DUMP B;

Apache HBase
HBase is a NoSQL database built on Hadoop for real-time read/write access to large datasets.

// HBase shell commands
create 'mytable', 'cf'
put 'mytable', 'row1', 'cf:col1', 'value1'
get 'mytable', 'row1'

Apache Sqoop
Sqoop imports and exports data between Hadoop and relational databases.

sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost/db --table users --target-dir /users

Apache Flume
Flume collects and moves large amounts of log data into Hadoop.

// Flume config moves logs to HDFS

Apache Oozie
Oozie schedules and manages Hadoop workflows, coordinating MapReduce, Hive, and other jobs.

// Define workflows in XML, then schedule

Apache Mahout
Mahout provides scalable machine learning algorithms on Hadoop.

// Run clustering algorithms on big data

Apache Spark (with Hadoop integration)
Spark offers in-memory fast data processing, often used alongside Hadoop.

spark-submit --class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi example.jar

Emerging Tools and Projects
The Hadoop ecosystem continues to evolve with tools like Kafka, NiFi, and cloud-native integrations.

// Example: Kafka streams data into Hadoop

HDFS Architecture Overview
HDFS is a distributed file system storing data across multiple nodes with fault tolerance and scalability through replication.

// Data split into blocks and distributed on cluster nodes

NameNode and DataNode Roles
NameNode manages metadata and directory structure; DataNodes store actual data blocks and report status.

// NameNode runs on master node; DataNodes on worker nodes

Secondary NameNode Functionality
Secondary NameNode periodically merges edit logs with the filesystem image to reduce NameNode recovery time.

// Not a backup NameNode, but helps manage metadata

Data Storage and Replication in HDFS
Data is split into blocks (default 128MB) and replicated (default 3 copies) across nodes to ensure fault tolerance.

// Check replication status
hdfs fsck / -files -blocks -locations

HDFS Read/Write Workflow
Clients communicate with NameNode to locate data, then read/write blocks directly to/from DataNodes.

// Reading file example
hdfs dfs -cat /path/to/file

YARN Architecture Overview
YARN manages resources and scheduling, separating resource management from data processing logic.

// ResourceManager allocates resources; NodeManagers run tasks

ResourceManager and NodeManager
ResourceManager oversees the cluster resources; NodeManagers manage containers on nodes.

// Monitor ResourceManager UI at http://localhost:8088

ApplicationMaster Role
Each job has an ApplicationMaster responsible for negotiating resources and monitoring progress.

// ApplicationMaster runs MapReduce or Spark tasks

Container Management
Containers isolate resources for tasks, ensuring parallel execution and resource control.

// NodeManager launches containers per ApplicationMaster instructions

Job Scheduling and Execution in YARN
Scheduler allocates containers to applications based on policies like FIFO, Capacity, or Fair Scheduler.

// Check running apps via ResourceManager UI

System Requirements and Prerequisites
Before installation, ensure you have Java JDK, SSH, and proper Linux or Windows environment set up.

// Check Java version
java -version

Single-node vs Multi-node Cluster Setup
Single-node runs all Hadoop services on one machine for learning; multi-node clusters distribute roles across servers for production.

// Single-node easier to setup for beginners

Installing Hadoop on Linux/Windows
Download Hadoop binaries, extract, configure environment variables, and set permissions.

wget https://downloads.apache.org/hadoop/common/hadoop-x.y.z/hadoop-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzvf hadoop-x.y.z.tar.gz
export HADOOP_HOME=/path/to/hadoop
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin

Configuring core-site.xml
Defines Hadoop core configuration like default filesystem URI.

  
    fs.defaultFS
    hdfs://localhost:9000
  

Configuring hdfs-site.xml
Sets HDFS storage directories and replication factors.

  
    dfs.replication
    3
  
  
    dfs.namenode.name.dir
    /path/to/namenode
  

Configuring yarn-site.xml
Specifies YARN resource manager and node manager settings.

  
    yarn.resourcemanager.address
    localhost:8032
  

Configuring mapred-site.xml
Defines MapReduce framework settings.

  
    mapreduce.framework.name
    yarn
  

Starting and Stopping Hadoop Services
Use shell scripts to start HDFS and YARN services.

start-dfs.sh
start-yarn.sh
stop-dfs.sh
stop-yarn.sh

Verifying Hadoop Installation
Check service status and run sample Hadoop commands to ensure proper installation.

jps
hdfs dfs -ls /

Basic Troubleshooting Tips
Review logs in Hadoop logs directory, check configuration errors, and verify environment variables.

// Check logs under $HADOOP_HOME/logs

HDFS Blocks and Block Size
HDFS stores data in fixed-size blocks (default 128MB). Large files are split into blocks distributed across DataNodes, enabling parallel processing and fault tolerance.

// Example: Set block size in configuration

  dfs.blocksize
  134217728 

      

Data Replication Strategies
HDFS replicates blocks (default 3 copies) across nodes to ensure data availability and fault tolerance in case of node failures.

// Set replication factor

  dfs.replication
  3

      

Namenode Metadata Management
The Namenode manages metadata for file locations, directories, and block mapping, crucial for efficient data access and cluster operation.

// Namenode stores fsimage and edits log (no direct CLI example)
      

DataNode Heartbeats and Block Reports
DataNodes send periodic heartbeats and block reports to Namenode to indicate health and block status, enabling proactive failure detection.

// View DataNode status with dfsadmin
hdfs dfsadmin -report
      

HDFS Rack Awareness
HDFS uses rack awareness to place replicas across different racks to improve fault tolerance and reduce network traffic.

// Configure rack awareness script in core-site.xml
      

Safe Mode in HDFS
Safe Mode is a read-only state of Namenode during startup or maintenance, preventing changes until blocks are sufficiently replicated.

// Enter safe mode manually
hdfs dfsadmin -safemode enter
// Leave safe mode
hdfs dfsadmin -safemode leave
      

Checkpointing and Edit Logs
Checkpoint nodes create snapshots of metadata, merging edit logs with fsimage to maintain Namenode consistency and reduce recovery time.

// Checkpoint configured via Secondary Namenode or Checkpoint node
      

Balancer and Decommissioning Nodes
The Balancer redistributes data evenly across DataNodes, and decommissioning safely removes nodes from the cluster without data loss.

// Run balancer
hdfs balancer
// Decommission node by updating exclude file and refreshing
hdfs dfsadmin -refreshNodes
      

HDFS Federation
Federation allows multiple independent Namenodes managing separate namespaces to scale cluster size and reduce bottlenecks.

// Federation setup involves configuring multiple Namenodes (no simple CLI)
      

High Availability with Namenode Failover
HA config uses active and standby Namenodes with automatic failover to ensure continuous service and prevent single point of failure.

// HA setup includes Zookeeper Failover Controller (no CLI example)
      

File System vs Distributed File System
A traditional file system manages data on a single machine, while a distributed file system like HDFS stores and manages data across multiple nodes for fault tolerance and scalability.

// Basic HDFS command to list files
hdfs dfs -ls /
      

Data Serialization and Formats
Data serialization formats like Avro and Parquet enable efficient storage and transfer by structuring data and enabling schema evolution.

// Use Avro or Parquet in MapReduce or Spark jobs (conceptual)
      

Text vs Binary Storage
Text files are human-readable but inefficient for large data; binary formats optimize storage and speed but require parsing.

// Upload text file
hdfs dfs -put localfile.txt /user/hadoop/
// Upload binary file
hdfs dfs -put data.parquet /user/hadoop/
      

Sequence Files and Avro
Sequence files store binary key-value pairs, commonly used for intermediate data; Avro provides compact, schema-based serialization.

// Create sequence file via Hadoop API (conceptual)
      

Parquet and ORC Formats
Columnar formats like Parquet and ORC optimize analytic queries by storing data column-wise, improving compression and read efficiency.

// Use Parquet files with Hive or Spark (conceptual)
      

Compression in Hadoop Storage
Compression codecs reduce storage space and speed up data transfer, commonly using Snappy, Gzip, or LZO.

// Configure compression in jobs (conceptual)
      

Columnar Storage Concepts
Columnar storage stores data by columns rather than rows, which benefits analytical queries by reading only needed columns.

// Query specific columns in Parquet with Spark SQL (conceptual)
      

Storing Structured vs Unstructured Data
Hadoop handles both structured data (tables) and unstructured data (logs, images) using flexible storage and processing tools.

// Store JSON logs or CSV tables in HDFS
hdfs dfs -put logs.json /logs/
      

Data Locality and its Importance
HDFS tries to run computations near data storage nodes, minimizing network I/O and improving processing speed.

// Data locality handled by Hadoop scheduler (no direct CLI)
      

Storage Best Practices
Optimize storage by using proper formats, compression, partitioning, and replication settings to balance performance and cost.

// Example best practice: use Parquet + Snappy compression
      

Basic Hadoop Shell Commands
The Hadoop shell provides commands like `ls`, `put`, `get`, `rm`, and `mkdir` to interact with HDFS from the command line.

hdfs dfs -ls /user/hadoop
hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/hadoop/newdir
      

Copying Files to/from HDFS
Use `put` to upload and `get` to download files between local filesystem and HDFS.

hdfs dfs -put localfile.txt /user/hadoop/
hdfs dfs -get /user/hadoop/file.txt ./localdir/
      

Listing and Viewing Files in HDFS
Commands like `ls` and `cat` help list directory contents and display file contents on the terminal.

hdfs dfs -ls /user/hadoop/
hdfs dfs -cat /user/hadoop/file.txt
      

Creating and Deleting Directories
`mkdir` creates directories, and `rm -r` deletes files or directories recursively in HDFS.

hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/hadoop/newfolder
hdfs dfs -rm -r /user/hadoop/oldfolder
      

Changing File Permissions
Use `chmod` to modify permissions and `chown` to change ownership of files or directories in HDFS.

hdfs dfs -chmod 755 /user/hadoop/newfolder
hdfs dfs -chown user:group /user/hadoop/file.txt
      

Viewing File Block Locations
The `fsck` command shows detailed information about file blocks and their locations in the cluster.

hdfs fsck /user/hadoop/file.txt -files -blocks -locations
      

Using Hadoop DFS Admin Commands
Admin commands allow management tasks like report cluster status, refresh nodes, or safemode control.

hdfs dfsadmin -report
hdfs dfsadmin -refreshNodes
      

Checking Cluster Health
Use CLI commands to verify cluster status, DataNode health, and Namenode activity for troubleshooting.

hdfs dfsadmin -report
      

Logs and Diagnostics via CLI
Hadoop logs located on Namenode and DataNodes are accessible for error diagnosis; CLI tools can assist in viewing logs.

// Check logs directory on Namenode server
cd $HADOOP_LOG_DIR
      

Scripting Hadoop Commands
Batch scripts automate common HDFS tasks using shell scripting with Hadoop CLI commands.

#!/bin/bash
hdfs dfs -mkdir /data/input
hdfs dfs -put inputfile.txt /data/input/
      

Uploading Large Files
Large files can be uploaded to HDFS with `put`; HDFS splits them into blocks automatically for distributed storage.

hdfs dfs -put largefile.dat /user/hadoop/
      

File Append and Concatenate
HDFS supports appending data to existing files and concatenating multiple files into one for efficient storage.

// Append example (via API; CLI append limited)
      

Snapshot Management
Snapshots capture consistent views of directories at a point in time, enabling backups and recovery.

// Enable snapshot on directory
hdfs dfsadmin -allowSnapshot /user/hadoop/data
// Create snapshot
hdfs dfs -createSnapshot /user/hadoop/data snapshot1
      

Setting Quotas on Directories
Quotas limit the number of files or space consumed in a directory to manage storage usage.

// Set namespace quota
hdfs dfsadmin -setQuota 10000 /user/hadoop/data
// Set space quota
hdfs dfsadmin -setSpaceQuota 10G /user/hadoop/data
      

Managing File Permissions and ACLs
HDFS supports POSIX-like permissions and ACLs for fine-grained access control.

hdfs dfs -setfacl -m user:foo:rwx /user/hadoop/data
      

Data Encryption in HDFS
HDFS provides transparent encryption zones that secure data at rest without application changes.

// Create encryption zone (admin required)
hdfs crypto -createZone -keyName mykey -path /secure
      

Archiving and Tiering Data
Data can be archived or tiered to cheaper storage classes using tools or policies to optimize cost.

// No direct CLI; managed via HDFS policies and external tools
      

Moving and Renaming Files
Use `mv` command to rename or move files and directories within HDFS.

hdfs dfs -mv /user/hadoop/file1 /user/hadoop/archive/file1
      

Data Integrity Checks
HDFS maintains checksums to detect corruption; `fsck` helps identify corrupt files.

hdfs fsck /user/hadoop/file1 -files -blocks -locations
      

Automating File Operations
Shell scripts and Hadoop workflows automate file management tasks for efficiency and consistency.

#!/bin/bash
hdfs dfs -put newdata.txt /data/input/
hdfs dfs -mv /data/input/newdata.txt /data/archive/
      

MapReduce Concepts and Workflow
MapReduce is a programming model for processing large datasets in a distributed way. It splits tasks into Map and Reduce phases, allowing parallel data processing across clusters.

// Concept: Map tasks process input and produce key-value pairs; Reduce tasks aggregate these pairs.

Mapper and Reducer Roles
The Mapper processes input data line-by-line, generating intermediate key-value pairs. The Reducer receives these pairs to combine and summarize results.

// Mapper outputs key-value pairs; Reducer aggregates values by key.

Input and Output Formats
MapReduce supports various formats like TextInputFormat and SequenceFileInputFormat for reading inputs and writing outputs.

// Specify input format in job config:
// job.setInputFormatClass(TextInputFormat.class);

Data Flow in MapReduce
Data flows from input to Mapper, then to Shuffle/Sort phase, followed by Reducer, and finally written to output.

// Input -> Mapper -> Shuffle/Sort -> Reducer -> Output

Writing Basic MapReduce Jobs
A basic job includes Mapper and Reducer classes, job configuration, and submission to the Hadoop cluster.

public class WordCountMapper extends Mapper {
  // Map method implementation
}

Running MapReduce Jobs on Hadoop
Jobs are submitted to the Hadoop cluster via command line or APIs for distributed execution.

// Run job:
// hadoop jar myjob.jar com.example.MyJob /input /output

JobTracker and TaskTracker Roles
JobTracker manages job scheduling; TaskTrackers run tasks on nodes, reporting status back.

// JobTracker schedules tasks; TaskTrackers execute them on nodes.

Combiner Functions
Combiners reduce data locally on Mapper nodes before sending to Reducers to minimize data transfer.

// Use combiner to optimize word count job
job.setCombinerClass(MyReducer.class);

Partitioner and Shuffle Phase
The Partitioner determines how data is distributed to Reducers during the shuffle phase based on keys.

// Custom Partitioner example:
public class MyPartitioner extends Partitioner {
  public int getPartition(Text key, IntWritable value, int numReduceTasks) {
    return key.hashCode() % numReduceTasks;
  }
}

Debugging MapReduce Jobs
Use logs, counters, and job history UI to debug and monitor job progress and issues.

// View job logs:
// yarn logs -applicationId 

Setting up Development Environment
Install Hadoop and set up Java development tools and environment variables to write MapReduce code.

// Example environment setup:
// export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/local/hadoop
// export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin

Writing Mapper Class
Create a Mapper class extending Hadoop's Mapper interface and override the map method to emit key-value pairs.

public class MyMapper extends Mapper {
  public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, Context context) {
    // mapping logic here
  }
}

Writing Reducer Class
Create a Reducer class extending Reducer interface to aggregate or summarize data by keys.

public class MyReducer extends Reducer {
  public void reduce(Text key, Iterable values, Context context) {
    // reduce logic here
  }
}

Configuring Job in Driver Code
Configure job parameters, input/output formats, Mapper/Reducer classes, and set output paths.

Job job = Job.getInstance(conf, "My Job");
job.setMapperClass(MyMapper.class);
job.setReducerClass(MyReducer.class);
job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));

Using Hadoop API Basics
Use Hadoop API classes like Job, FileSystem, and Path for job configuration and file operations.

// Access HDFS files
FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(conf);
fs.mkdirs(new Path("/output"));

Running Job Locally vs Cluster
Run jobs locally for testing or on a Hadoop cluster for large-scale processing.

// Local run
hadoop jar myjob.jar input output -local
// Cluster run
hadoop jar myjob.jar input output

Passing Parameters to Jobs
Pass custom parameters to jobs via configuration or command-line arguments.

// Access parameter in Mapper
String param = context.getConfiguration().get("paramKey");

Using Counters for Metrics
Use Hadoop counters to track events and metrics during job execution.

context.getCounter("MyGroup", "MyCounter").increment(1);

Handling Input and Output Paths
Manage input/output directories carefully to avoid overwrite and ensure data correctness.

// Delete output dir if exists
FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(conf);
fs.delete(new Path(args[1]), true);

Analyzing Job Output
Review output files stored on HDFS or local filesystem to verify job results.

// Output stored in part files inside output directory

What is Hadoop Streaming?
Hadoop Streaming enables MapReduce programming with any language that can read/write standard input/output, like Python or Perl.

// Run streaming job example
hadoop jar hadoop-streaming.jar -mapper mymapper.py -reducer myreducer.py -input input -output output

Using Python/Perl/Ruby with Streaming
Write Mapper and Reducer scripts in scripting languages to process data via streaming interface.

# Example Python mapper
import sys
for line in sys.stdin:
    # process line
    print("key\t1")

Writing Streaming Mapper and Reducer
Scripts read lines from stdin, emit key-value pairs separated by tabs, which Hadoop processes.

# Reducer example in Python
import sys
current_key = None
count = 0
for line in sys.stdin:
    key, val = line.strip().split('\t')
    if key == current_key:
        count += int(val)
    else:
        if current_key:
            print(f"{current_key}\t{count}")
        current_key = key
        count = int(val)
if current_key:
    print(f"{current_key}\t{count}")

Command Line Options for Streaming Jobs
Options include specifying mapper/reducer scripts, input/output paths, and file system settings.

hadoop jar hadoop-streaming.jar \
 -mapper mapper.py \
 -reducer reducer.py \
 -input /input_dir \
 -output /output_dir

Debugging Streaming Jobs
Check script permissions, logs, and run scripts locally with test input to debug.

// Run locally
cat test_input.txt | python mapper.py

Hadoop Pipes for C++ Jobs
Hadoop Pipes allows writing MapReduce jobs in C++ using a provided API.

// Example C++ Pipes job entry point (simplified)
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  return HadoopPipes::runTask(...);
}

Differences between Streaming and Native MapReduce
Streaming supports any language but is slower; native jobs in Java run faster and integrate tightly.

// Streaming: language agnostic, slower
// Native: Java-based, optimized

Performance Considerations
Native Java jobs have better performance; streaming suitable for rapid prototyping and flexibility.

// Optimize by minimizing data serialization and process startup overhead

Use Cases for Streaming
Use streaming to leverage existing scripts or languages, or when Java development is not feasible.

// Rapid data processing with Python/Perl scripts

Integration with Other Tools
Streaming jobs can integrate with tools like Apache Pig, Hive, or custom scripts.

// Use streaming in Pig scripts or custom workflows

Overview of YARN Resource Management
YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) manages resources and schedules jobs in Hadoop clusters, enabling multi-tenant workload execution.

// YARN manages cluster resources and job scheduling

Scheduling Policies: FIFO, Capacity, Fair Scheduler
YARN supports FIFO, Capacity, and Fair schedulers to allocate resources based on workload priorities and fairness.

// Configure scheduler in yarn-site.xml
<property>
  <name>yarn.scheduler.capacity.root.queues</name>
  <value>default,high,low</value>
</property>

Queue Management and ACLs
Queues organize jobs by priorities or teams; ACLs control which users submit jobs to queues.

// Example ACL for queue submission
yarn.scheduler.capacity.root.default.acl_submit_applications=user1,user2

Resource Allocation Strategies
YARN dynamically allocates CPU, memory, and disk resources per job based on cluster capacity and policies.

// Resource allocation config example
<property>
  <name>yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb</name>
  <value>8192</value>
</property>

Node Labels and Constraints
Node labels categorize nodes for job placement based on workload needs or hardware features.

// Assign node labels and configure scheduling constraints

Dynamic Resource Scaling
YARN supports scaling resources up or down dynamically to meet workload demands efficiently.

// Use capacity scheduler to enable dynamic scaling

Resource Usage Monitoring
Monitor cluster resource usage via YARN UI or command line to identify bottlenecks.

// Access YARN ResourceManager UI at http://:8088

Handling Resource Contention
YARN resolves contention by prioritizing jobs, preemption, or queue adjustments.

// Configure preemption in yarn-site.xml

Troubleshooting YARN Resource Issues
Check logs, monitor cluster metrics, and adjust configurations to solve resource allocation problems.

// Use yarn logs -applicationId  for debugging

Integrating YARN with Other Frameworks
YARN supports running frameworks like Spark, Tez, and others to utilize cluster resources.

// Submit Spark job on YARN
spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster app.jar

What is Hive?
Apache Hive is a data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop for providing data summarization and ad hoc querying using SQL-like language. It allows users to write queries in HiveQL, which Hive converts into MapReduce jobs for processing large datasets stored in HDFS.

-- Simple Hive query example
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department = 'Sales';
      

Hive Architecture and Components
Hive architecture includes the Driver, Compiler, Execution Engine, Metastore, and HDFS. The Metastore holds metadata for tables, while the Compiler translates queries to execution plans.

-- View table metadata using Hive Metastore
DESCRIBE FORMATTED employees;
      

Hive Query Language (HQL) Basics
HQL is similar to SQL, supporting SELECT, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY, and other operations, enabling data manipulation and retrieval in Hive tables.

-- HQL example: aggregation
SELECT department, COUNT(*) FROM employees GROUP BY department;
      

Creating and Managing Tables
Hive supports managed and external tables. Creating tables defines schema and storage, with options for partitioning and file format.

CREATE TABLE employees (
  id INT,
  name STRING,
  department STRING
) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',';
      

Loading Data into Hive
Data can be loaded from HDFS or local files into Hive tables using LOAD DATA or INSERT commands.

LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH '/tmp/employees.csv' INTO TABLE employees;
      

Querying Data with SELECT
The SELECT statement retrieves data from Hive tables, supporting filtering, sorting, and aggregation.

SELECT name, department FROM employees WHERE department = 'HR';
      

Partitioning and Bucketing
Partitioning divides tables by column values for query pruning. Bucketing hashes data into buckets, improving join and sampling performance.

CREATE TABLE sales (
  id INT,
  amount FLOAT
) PARTITIONED BY (year INT)
CLUSTERED BY (id) INTO 4 BUCKETS;
      

Hive Metastore
The metastore stores metadata like table schema and partitions. It can be backed by MySQL or other RDBMS for reliability.

-- Query metastore tables directly (advanced)
SELECT * FROM TBLS WHERE TBL_NAME = 'employees';
      

Using Hive UDFs
User Defined Functions extend Hive with custom logic written in Java or other languages, enhancing query capabilities.

-- Using built-in UDF
SELECT CONCAT(name, '_', department) FROM employees;
      

Integration with BI Tools
Hive integrates with business intelligence tools like Tableau and Power BI through JDBC/ODBC connectors, enabling visualization on big data.

-- Connect Hive using JDBC URL in BI tool
jdbc:hive2://hostname:10000/default
      

Schema on Read vs Schema on Write
Schema on Read defers schema application until data is read (used in Hive), while Schema on Write applies schema during data loading. Schema on Read offers flexibility but may be slower at query time.

-- Hive follows Schema on Read approach by default
SELECT * FROM external_table;
      

Managing External vs Managed Tables
Managed tables have data lifecycle tied to Hive, while external tables reference data outside Hive. External tables prevent accidental data deletion.

-- Create external table
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ext_employees (
  id INT,
  name STRING
) LOCATION '/data/employees/';
      

Advanced Partitioning Techniques
Dynamic and multi-level partitioning improve query speed and data organization by splitting tables into smaller parts based on multiple columns.

-- Dynamic partition insert
INSERT INTO TABLE sales PARTITION(year, month)
SELECT id, amount, year, month FROM staging_sales;
      

Bucketing for Performance
Bucketing hashes data into fixed buckets for efficient joins and sampling, often used with partitioning for optimized query execution.

-- Create bucketed table
CREATE TABLE user_data (
  user_id INT,
  event STRING
) CLUSTERED BY (user_id) INTO 8 BUCKETS;
      

Optimizing Queries with Indexes
Hive supports indexes to speed up queries on large datasets by creating indexes on columns, although their use is less common than partitioning.

CREATE INDEX idx_department ON TABLE employees(department)
AS 'COMPACT' WITH DEFERRED REBUILD;
      

Using Views and Materialized Views
Views save reusable queries. Materialized views cache results to speed up query execution but need refreshing on data changes.

-- Create a simple view
CREATE VIEW hr_employees AS
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department = 'HR';
      

Complex Data Types in Hive
Hive supports arrays, maps, and structs, enabling storage and querying of semi-structured data.

-- Example of complex type: array
CREATE TABLE user_actions (
  user_id INT,
  actions ARRAY
);
      

Joins and Subqueries
Hive supports inner, outer, and cross joins, plus subqueries to combine and filter data across tables.

SELECT e.name, d.name FROM employees e
JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.id;
      

Window Functions
Hive supports window functions like ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), enabling advanced analytics such as ranking and running totals.

SELECT name, department,
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rank
FROM employees;
      

Performance Tuning in Hive
Techniques include optimizing joins, partition pruning, using ORC/Parquet file formats, and enabling Tez or Spark engines for faster execution.

SET hive.execution.engine=tez;
      

Overview of Apache Pig
Apache Pig is a high-level platform for creating MapReduce programs using a scripting language called Pig Latin. It simplifies processing and analyzing large datasets on Hadoop.

-- Load data example in Pig Latin
data = LOAD 'hdfs://data/input' USING PigStorage(',') AS (id:int, name:chararray);
      

Pig Latin Syntax Basics

Overview of Apache Flume
Apache Flume is a distributed service for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of log data into Hadoop for analysis.

flume-ng version
      

Flume Architecture and Components
Flume consists of Sources (data origin), Channels (buffer), and Sinks (data destination) working together to move data reliably.

// Source -> Channel -> Sink
      

Sources, Channels, and Sinks
Sources ingest data, channels buffer it, and sinks deliver data to Hadoop or other storage.

// Typical source: exec, syslog, HTTP
// Channels: memory, file
// Sinks: hdfs, logger
      

Configuring Flume Agents
Flume agents run with configuration files defining sources, channels, sinks, and their connections.

agent.sources = src1
agent.channels = ch1
agent.sinks = sink1

agent.sources.src1.type = exec
agent.sources.src1.command = tail -F /var/log/syslog

agent.channels.ch1.type = memory
agent.channels.ch1.capacity = 1000

agent.sinks.sink1.type = hdfs
agent.sinks.sink1.hdfs.path = hdfs://namenode/flume/events
agent.sinks.sink1.channel = ch1
      

Writing Custom Interceptors
Interceptors modify or filter events flowing through Flume, enabling data enrichment or cleansing.

// Java example skeleton for interceptor
public class CustomInterceptor implements Interceptor {
  public Event intercept(Event event) {
    // modify event headers or body
    return event;
  }
  // other required methods
}
      

Using Flume with HDFS Sink
Flume sinks write ingested data directly to HDFS in append mode, useful for batch and streaming ingestion.

agent.sinks.sink1.type = hdfs
agent.sinks.sink1.hdfs.path = hdfs://namenode/flume/events
agent.sinks.sink1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
      

Reliable Data Delivery
Flume guarantees reliable data transfer via transactional channels, ensuring no data loss during failures.

// Use FileChannel for durability
agent.channels.ch1.type = file
      

Monitoring and Managing Flume Agents

JVM Tuning for Hadoop Components
JVM tuning improves Hadoop component performance by adjusting heap size, garbage collection, and JVM flags for NameNode, DataNode, and YARN services to reduce latency and avoid out-of-memory errors.

# Example: Set JVM heap size for NameNode in hadoop-env.sh
export HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS="-Xms2g -Xmx4g"
      

Memory Management and Garbage Collection
Proper memory management and choosing the right garbage collector (G1GC, CMS) minimize pauses and improve cluster throughput for MapReduce and YARN.

# Example: Enable G1GC in JVM options
export HADOOP_OPTS="$HADOOP_OPTS -XX:+UseG1GC"
      

Network Configuration and Optimization
Optimize network by tuning TCP buffers, reducing latency, and ensuring proper bandwidth allocation to improve data transfer and shuffle phases.

# Tune TCP buffer sizes in sysctl.conf
net.core.rmem_max=26214400
net.core.wmem_max=26214400
      

Configuring HDFS Parameters
Configure replication factor, block size, and heartbeat intervals in hdfs-site.xml for reliability and performance balance.

  dfs.replication
  3

      

YARN Resource Management Tuning
Adjust container memory and CPU limits, scheduling policies, and node manager settings in yarn-site.xml for optimal resource utilization.

  yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb
  8192

      

MapReduce Configuration Tuning
Tune map/reduce task memory, speculative execution, and JVM reuse to improve job efficiency and resource use.

  mapreduce.map.memory.mb
  2048

      

Balancing Load Across Nodes
Properly distribute data and tasks using rack awareness and scheduler settings to avoid hotspots and ensure cluster stability.

# Example rack awareness config file with node-to-rack mapping
      

Data Locality Optimization
Scheduling tasks near their data reduces network I/O and improves job speed by maximizing local reads.

# Enable data locality in yarn-site.xml

  yarn.scheduler.capacity.node-locality-delay
  40

      

Using Hadoop Metrics for Tuning
Collect and analyze Hadoop metrics with tools like Ganglia or Ambari to identify bottlenecks and guide tuning decisions.

# Enable metrics in hadoop-metrics2.properties
      

Real-World Tuning Case Studies
Case studies demonstrate how tuning JVM, HDFS, and YARN parameters led to measurable improvements in throughput, latency, and resource efficiency.

# Refer to Hadoop tuning guides and case study documentation
      

Why Use Compression?
Compression reduces storage usage and network I/O in Hadoop clusters, speeding up data processing and saving costs by reducing disk and bandwidth consumption.

# Compression reduces data size but increases CPU usage during compression/decompression
      

Compression Codecs Supported by Hadoop
Hadoop supports codecs like Gzip, Snappy, LZO, and Bzip2 with different trade-offs between speed and compression ratio.

# Configure codec in core-site.xml

  io.compression.codecs
  org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec

      

Compressing Data in HDFS
Data can be compressed at the file or block level in HDFS. Snappy is popular for fast compression during writes and reads.

hadoop fs -text file.snappy
      

Compression in MapReduce Jobs
Enable map output and job output compression to reduce shuffle size and improve job speed.

mapreduce.map.output.compress=true
mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress=true
      

Compression Formats: Gzip, Snappy, LZO, Bzip2
Gzip offers high compression but slow speed; Snappy is fast with moderate compression; LZO is fast but requires native libraries; Bzip2 compresses well but is slow.

# Choose codec based on workload characteristics
      

Using Compression in Hive and Pig
Hive and Pig support compressed file formats for tables and intermediate data, improving query speed and storage efficiency.

SET hive.exec.compress.output=true;
      

Effects of Compression on Performance
Compression improves disk and network performance but may increase CPU usage, requiring balanced tuning.

# Monitor CPU and IO to tune compression settings appropriately
      

Transparent vs Explicit Compression
Transparent compression happens automatically (e.g., file system level), whereas explicit requires user configuration in jobs or tools.

# Explicit compression requires setting properties in jobs or queries
      

Combining Compression with Encryption
Compression before encryption maximizes efficiency; Hadoop supports encryption zones alongside compression for security.

# Configure HDFS encryption zones for sensitive data
      

Best Practices for Compression
Use codecs suited to workload, test performance impacts, enable compression for intermediate data, and monitor cluster metrics for balance.

# Use Snappy for general-purpose, Gzip for archival data
      

Importance of Data Partitioning
Partitioning divides large datasets into manageable parts based on column values, improving query speed by pruning irrelevant partitions.

CREATE TABLE sales PARTITIONED BY (year INT);
      

Partitioning in Hive
Hive supports dynamic and static partitioning, enabling faster queries by scanning only relevant partitions.

INSERT INTO sales PARTITION (year=2023) SELECT * FROM staging_table;
      

Bucketing Concepts and Usage
Bucketing divides data into fixed number of buckets based on a hash of a column, useful for joins and sampling.

CREATE TABLE users (id INT, name STRING) CLUSTERED BY (id) INTO 8 BUCKETS;
      

Creating Bucketed Tables
Define bucketed tables specifying bucket column and number of buckets to organize data storage.

SET hive.enforce.bucketing=true;
      

Querying Bucketed Data
Queries can leverage bucketing for optimized joins, reducing data shuffling in MapReduce or Tez.

SELECT /*+ MAPJOIN(users) */ * FROM orders JOIN users ON orders.user_id = users.id;
      

Performance Implications
Proper use of partitioning and bucketing reduces query time and resource consumption by limiting data scanned and shuffled.

# Monitor query plans to ensure partition pruning is effective
      

Partition Pruning
Partition pruning skips scanning partitions irrelevant to query filters, drastically improving performance.

SELECT * FROM sales WHERE year=2023;
      

Combining Partitioning and Bucketing
Using both techniques together provides finer data organization, enabling more efficient queries and joins.

CREATE TABLE sales_bucketed PARTITIONED BY (year INT) CLUSTERED BY (id) INTO 8 BUCKETS;
      

Managing Partitions
Partitions can be added, dropped, or altered dynamically to manage data lifecycle and optimize storage.

ALTER TABLE sales DROP PARTITION (year=2021);
      

Data Skew and Solutions
Data skew occurs when partitions or buckets are unevenly sized, causing job slowdowns; skew can be mitigated by salting keys or rebalancing.

# Add a salt column to distribute skewed keys
      

Understanding Job Execution Plan
Understanding how MapReduce executes jobs helps optimize each phase, including splits, map, shuffle, and reduce stages, for better performance.

# Use job history UI to inspect execution plans and timings
      

Using Combiner Functions Effectively
Combiners reduce data transferred in shuffle by locally aggregating map outputs, improving efficiency if functions are associative and commutative.

job.setCombinerClass(MyCombiner.class);
      

Controlling Number of Reducers
Tune reducer count to balance parallelism and overhead; too few reducers create bottlenecks, too many increase overhead.

job.setNumReduceTasks(10);
      

Input Split Size Optimization
Adjust input split sizes to balance parallelism and task overhead, affecting job runtime and resource use.

mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.split.maxsize=128MB
      

Using Compression in MapReduce
Compress intermediate map outputs and job outputs to reduce network I/O and storage requirements.

mapreduce.map.output.compress=true
mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress=true
      

Avoiding Data Skew
Data skew causes some reducers to process more data, leading to slowdowns; mitigate by partitioning and salting keys.

# Add random prefix to key to distribute load evenly
      

Speculative Execution Settings
Speculative execution runs duplicate tasks to handle stragglers, improving job completion time in heterogeneous clusters.

mapreduce.map.speculative=true
mapreduce.reduce.speculative=true
      

Counters and Job Metrics Analysis
Analyze Hadoop counters and logs to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies during job execution.

# Use job counters accessible via job history or CLI
      

Debugging Slow Jobs
Debug slow jobs by examining logs, tracking data skew, checking resource allocation, and reviewing execution timelines.

# Use yarn logs -applicationId  for detailed diagnostics
      

Real-World Optimization Examples
Examples of optimized MapReduce jobs show improvements via tuning combiners, reducer counts, compression, and input splits.

# Refer to Hadoop tuning guides for case studies
      

Dynamic Partitioning
Dynamic partitioning allows Hive to automatically create partitions based on data values during insert operations. This avoids manual partition management and improves query performance.

-- Enable dynamic partitioning
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition = true;
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode = nonstrict;

-- Insert with dynamic partitioning
INSERT INTO TABLE sales PARTITION (year, month)
SELECT product_id, amount, year, month FROM staging_sales;

Cost-Based Optimizer (CBO)
Hive's CBO uses statistics like table size and data distribution to choose optimal query plans, reducing execution time.

-- Enable CBO
SET hive.cbo.enable = true;
ANALYZE TABLE sales COMPUTE STATISTICS;

Vectorized Query Execution
Vectorization processes batches of rows at once instead of one by one, significantly speeding up query execution.

-- Enable vectorization
SET hive.vectorized.execution.enabled = true;
SET hive.vectorized.execution.reduce.enabled = true;

Materialized Views in Hive
Materialized views store precomputed results of queries, accelerating repeated complex query execution.

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_sales AS
SELECT product_id, SUM(amount) FROM sales GROUP BY product_id;

Hive Indexing Mechanisms
Indexes improve query speed by creating auxiliary data structures, but must be maintained carefully.

CREATE INDEX idx_sales_product ON TABLE sales(product_id)
AS 'COMPACT' WITH DEFERRED REBUILD;

Using Tez and Spark Execution Engines
Hive supports alternative execution engines like Tez and Spark that provide faster DAG-based execution compared to MapReduce.

-- Switch to Tez
SET hive.execution.engine=tez;

Hive ACID Transactions
Hive supports ACID transactions enabling insert, update, and delete operations with transactional guarantees.

-- Enable ACID
SET hive.support.concurrency=true;
SET hive.enforce.bucketing=true;

Hive Security Features
Security includes role-based access control, SQL standard authorization, and integration with Ranger or Sentry.

-- Example: Grant select permission
GRANT SELECT ON TABLE sales TO USER analyst;

Query Plan Visualization
Hive provides EXPLAIN statements to show query execution plans for debugging and optimization.

EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM sales WHERE product_id=100;

Performance Monitoring and Tuning
Monitoring tools and tuning parameters (e.g., memory settings, join strategies) help improve Hive performance.

-- Increase memory for Tez containers
SET tez.task.resource.memory.mb=4096;

Real-time data processing allows immediate analysis and reaction to streaming data, essential for timely insights and decision-making.

// Storm and Spark provide frameworks for streaming data processing.

Apache Storm Architecture
Storm is a distributed real-time computation system composed of spouts (data sources) and bolts (processing units) forming topologies.

// Storm topology example (conceptual)
// Spout reads streams, bolts process and emit tuples

Writing Storm Topologies
Topologies define DAGs of spouts and bolts. Developers write Java or Clojure code to implement logic.

// Java snippet to define bolt
public class MyBolt extends BaseRichBolt {
  public void execute(Tuple input) { /* process */ }
}

Integrating Storm with Hadoop
Storm can read/write from HDFS, integrating batch and real-time workflows.

// Use Storm HDFS bolt to write output to HDFS

Apache Spark Overview
Spark is a fast in-memory big data engine supporting batch and streaming analytics via Spark Streaming.

// Create SparkContext
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)

Spark Streaming Basics
Spark Streaming processes live data streams as micro-batches, supporting windowed operations.

// Streaming example (Scala)
val ssc = new StreamingContext(sc, Seconds(10))
val lines = ssc.socketTextStream("localhost", 9999)

Running Spark on YARN
YARN manages Spark resources in Hadoop clusters, supporting scalable and fault-tolerant execution.

// Submit Spark job on YARN
spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster myapp.jar

Fault Tolerance in Real-time Systems
Storm and Spark ensure fault tolerance via checkpointing, replay, and acking mechanisms.

// Enable checkpointing in Spark Streaming
ssc.checkpoint("/checkpoint/dir")

Use Cases for Real-time Analytics
Applications include fraud detection, monitoring, IoT telemetry, and dynamic pricing.

// Example: Detect fraud patterns in streaming transactions

Monitoring and Debugging Real-time Jobs
Tools like Storm UI, Spark Web UI, and logs help monitor and debug streaming applications.

// Access Spark UI at http://:4040

Introduction to Oozie
Oozie is a workflow scheduler system to manage Hadoop jobs. It helps automate complex data pipelines by defining job dependencies and execution order.

// Submit Oozie workflow
oozie job -config job.properties -run

Oozie Workflow Concepts
Workflows are defined as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) of actions like MapReduce, Pig, Hive jobs.

// Example snippet of workflow.xml

  

Creating Oozie Workflows
Workflows are written in XML defining action nodes, control flow, and error handling.

// Define a shell action in workflow.xml

  
    my_script.sh
  
  
  

Coordinators and Bundles
Coordinators schedule workflows based on time and data availability; bundles group multiple coordinators.

// Coordinator XML example snippet

  
    
      ${wfAppPath}
    
  

Managing Dependencies in Workflows
Oozie workflows support conditions and control nodes (decision, fork, join) for complex dependency management.

// Use decision node example

  
    ${wf:lastErrorNode() == 'someAction'}
    
  

Error Handling and Recovery
Oozie workflows specify error paths to handle failures and retry or terminate jobs.

// Error node in workflow

Oozie with Hadoop Jobs
Oozie orchestrates Hadoop MapReduce, Hive, Pig, and Spark jobs as part of workflows.

// Submit Hive job in Oozie action

  
    
  
  
  

Scheduling and Triggering Jobs
Coordinators trigger workflows on schedules or data events; bundles manage multiple coordinators.

// Create coordinator job
oozie job -config coordinator.properties -run

Monitoring Oozie Workflows
Oozie Web UI and CLI provide monitoring of running workflows, job status, and logs.

// View running jobs
oozie jobs -jobtype wf -filter status=RUNNING

Best Practices and Tips
Use modular workflows, parameterize jobs, test error paths, and monitor system load to optimize Oozie.

// Example: Use configuration properties for parameters

Importance of Backup and Recovery
Backup and recovery safeguard data integrity and availability, ensuring business continuity against hardware failures, data corruption, or disasters.

// Regular backups prevent data loss and downtime

HDFS Snapshot Features
HDFS snapshots provide point-in-time read-only copies of directories, enabling quick recovery from accidental deletes or corruptions.

// Create snapshot
hdfs dfs -createSnapshot /user/hive/warehouse snapshot_20230728

Cluster Metadata Backup
Backing up NameNode metadata (fsimage and edits) is critical to restoring cluster state.

// Backup fsimage file
cp /hadoop/hdfs/namenode/current/fsimage_0000000000000000000 /backup/location/

DataNode and NameNode Failures
Hadoop tolerates DataNode failures with replication; NameNode high availability requires standby nodes.

// Check DataNode status
hdfs dfsadmin -report

Data Replication and Recovery
HDFS replicates data blocks across nodes, allowing automatic recovery when nodes fail.

// Set replication factor
hdfs dfs -setrep -w 3 /user/data

Disaster Recovery Planning
Plans include offsite backups, failover procedures, and regular testing to minimize downtime.

// Document DR processes and conduct drills

Using DistCp for Backup
DistCp efficiently copies large datasets across clusters or storage systems for backup.

// Run DistCp for backup
hadoop distcp hdfs://sourceCluster/user/data hdfs://backupCluster/user/data_backup

Cross-Cluster Backup Strategies
Backing up data to geographically distant clusters protects against regional failures.

// Schedule cross-cluster DistCp jobs

Testing Recovery Procedures
Regular recovery tests validate backup integrity and identify process gaps.

// Perform restore from snapshot or backup and verify data

Automating Backup Processes
Automation tools schedule regular backups and alert on failures to ensure reliability.

// Use cron or Oozie jobs to automate backup

Limitations of Single NameNode
Traditional Hadoop uses a single NameNode, creating a single point of failure and scalability limits. This affects cluster resilience and performance, especially with large datasets.

// No direct code; architectural concept affecting cluster design.
      

Introduction to Hadoop Federation
Federation enables multiple independent NameNodes managing separate namespaces in the same cluster, improving scalability and isolating workloads for better resource utilization.

// Configuration example: define multiple namespaces in hdfs-site.xml
<property>
  <name>dfs.nameservices</name>
  <value>ns1,ns2</value>
</property>
      

Setting up Multiple NameNodes
Setting up federation involves configuring multiple NameNodes, each managing its namespace, with shared DataNodes for storage. This setup requires careful network and config management.

// Example: start multiple NameNode daemons for different namespaces
start-dfs.sh
      

Namespace Isolation
Each NameNode controls a distinct namespace, isolating metadata and operations. This isolation prevents cross-namespace interference, improving security and manageability.

// Example namespace URI usage
hdfs://ns1/user/data
hdfs://ns2/user/data
      

High Availability Architecture
HA introduces redundant NameNodes configured in active-standby mode, ensuring continuous operation if one fails by automatic failover mechanisms.
