Hadoop On Demand

Introduction

The Hadoop On Demand (HOD) project is a system for provisioning and managing independent Hadoop MapReduce instances on a shared cluster of nodes. HOD uses a resource manager for allocation. At present it supports TORQUE Resource Manager out of the box.

Feature List

The following are the features provided by HOD:

2.1 Simplified interface for managing MapReduce clusters:

The MapReduce user interacts with the cluster through a simple command line interface, the HOD client. HOD brings up a virtual MapReduce cluster with the required number of nodes, which the user can use for running Hadoop jobs. When done, HOD will automatically clean up the resources and make the nodes available again.

2.2 Automatic installation of Hadoop:

With HOD, Hadoop does not need to be even installed on the cluster. The user can provide a Hadoop tarball that HOD will automatically distribute to all the nodes in the cluster.

2.3 Configuring Hadoop:

Dynamic parameters of Hadoop configuration, such as the NameNode and JobTracker addresses and ports, and file system temporary directories are generated and distributed by HOD automatically to all nodes in the cluster.

In addition, HOD allows the user to configure Hadoop parameters at both the server (for e.g. JobTracker) and client (for e.g. JobClient) level, including 'final' parameters, that were introduced with Hadoop 0.15.

2.4 Auto-cleanup of unused clusters:

HOD has an automatic timeout so that users cannot misuse resources they aren't using. The timeout applies only when there is no MapReduce job running.

2.5 Log services:

HOD can be used to collect all MapReduce logs to a central location for archiving and inspection after the job is completed.

3. HOD Components

=====

This is a brief overview of the various components of HOD and how they interact to provision Hadoop.

HOD Client: The HOD client is a Unix command that users use to allocate Hadoop MapReduce clusters. The command provides other options to list allocated clusters and deallocate them. The HOD client generates the hadoop-site.xml in a user specified directory. The user can point to this configuration file while running Map/Reduce jobs on the allocated cluster.

RingMaster: The RingMaster is a HOD process that is started on one node per every allocated cluster. It is submitted as a 'job' to the resource manager by the HOD client. It controls which Hadoop daemons start on which nodes. It provides this information to other HOD processes, such as the HOD client, so users can also determine this information. The RingMaster is responsible for hosting and distributing the Hadoop tarball to all nodes in the cluster. It also automatically cleans up unused clusters.

HodRing: The HodRing is a HOD process that runs on every allocated node in the cluster. These processes are run by the RingMaster through the resource manager, using a facility of parallel execution. The HodRings are responsible for launching Hadoop commands on the nodes to bring up the Hadoop daemons. They get the command to launch from the RingMaster.

Hodrc / HOD configuration file: An INI style configuration file where the users configure various options for the HOD system, including install locations of different software, resource manager parameters, log and temp file directories, parameters for their MapReduce jobs, etc.

Submit Nodes: Nodes where the HOD Client is run, from where jobs are submitted to the resource manager system for allocating and running clusters.

Compute Nodes: Nodes which get allocated by a resource manager, and on which the Hadoop daemons are provisioned and started.
