The ecosystem consists of three components; client, Namenode and Datanode, where client is a user component that requests cluster operations through Namenode and processes data blocks at Datanode enabled with Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Recently, HDFS has launched an add-on to connect a client through Network File System (NFS) that can upload and download set of data blocks over Hadoop cluster. In this way, a client is not considered as part of the HDFS and could perform read and write operations through a contrast file system. This HDFS NFS gateway has raised many security concerns, most particularly; no reliable authentication support of upload and download of data blocks, no local and remote client efficient connectivity, and HDFS mounting durability issues through untrusted connectivity. To stabilize the NFS gateway strategy, we present in this paper a Key Exchange Authentication Protocol (KEAP) between NFS enabled client and HDFS NFS gateway. The proposed approach provides cryptographic assurance of authentication between clients and gateway.

  • Decentralising Big Data Processing Scott Ross Brisbane
    School of Computer Science and Engineering Faculty of Engineering The University of New South Wales Decentralising Big Data Processing by Scott Ross Brisbane Thesis submitted as a requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Software) Submitted: October 2016 Student ID: z3459393 Supervisor: Dr. Xiwei Xu Topic ID: 3692 Decentralising Big Data Processing Scott Ross Brisbane Abstract Big data processing and analysis is becoming an increasingly important part of modern society as corporations and government organisations seek to draw insight from the vast amount of data they are storing. The traditional approach to such data processing is to use the popular Hadoop framework which uses HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) to store and stream data to analytics applications written in the MapReduce model. As organisations seek to share data and results with third parties, HDFS remains inadequate for such tasks in many ways. This work looks at replacing HDFS with a decentralised data store that is better suited to sharing data between organisations. The best fit for such a replacement is chosen to be the decentralised hypermedia distribution protocol IPFS (Interplanetary File System), that is built around the aim of connecting all peers in it's network with the same set of content addressed files. ii Scott Ross Brisbane Decentralising Big Data Processing Abbreviations API Application Programming Interface AWS Amazon Web Services CLI Command Line Interface DHT Distributed Hash Table DNS Domain Name System EC2 Elastic Compute Cloud FTP File Transfer Protocol HDFS Hadoop Distributed File System HPC High-Performance Computing IPFS InterPlanetary File System IPNS InterPlanetary Naming System SFTP Secure File Transfer Protocol UI User Interface iii Decentralising Big Data Processing Scott Ross Brisbane Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Background 3 2.1 The Hadoop Distributed File System .

  • Collective Communication on Hadoop
    Harp: Collective Communication on Hadoop Bingjing Zhang, Yang Ruan, Judy Qiu Computer Science Department Indiana University Bloomington, IN, USA Abstract—Big data tools have evolved rapidly in recent years. MapReduce is very successful but not optimized for many important analytics; especially those involving iteration. In this regard, Iterative MapReduce frameworks improve performance of MapReduce job chains through caching. Further Pregel, Giraph and GraphLab abstract data as a graph and process it in iterations. However, all these tools are designed with fixed data abstraction and have limitations in communication support. In this paper, we introduce a collective communication layer which provides optimized communication operations on several important data abstractions such as arrays, key-values and graphs, and define a Map-Collective model which serves the diverse communication demands in different parallel applications. In addition, we design our enhancements as plug-ins to Hadoop so they can be used with the rich Apache Big Data Stack. Then for example, Hadoop can do in-memory communication between Map tasks without writing intermediate data to HDFS. With improved expressiveness and excellent performance on collective communication, we can simultaneously support various applications from HPC to Cloud systems together with a high performance Apache Big Data Stack. Fig. 1. Big Data Analysis Tools Keywords—Collective Communication; Big Data Processing; Hadoop Spark [5] also uses caching to accelerate iterative algorithms without restricting computation to a chain of MapReduce jobs. I. INTRODUCTION To process graph data, Google announced Pregel [6] and soon It is estimated that organizations with high-end computing open source versions Giraph [7] and Hama [8] emerged.

  • Maximizing Hadoop Performance and Storage Capacity with Altrahdtm
    Maximizing Hadoop Performance and Storage Capacity with AltraHDTM Executive Summary The explosion of internet data, driven in large part by the growth of more and more powerful mobile devices, has created not only a large volume of data, but a variety of data types, with new data being generated at an increasingly rapid rate. Data characterized by the “three Vs” – Volume, Variety, and Velocity – is commonly referred to as big data, and has put an enormous strain on organizations to store and analyze their data. Organizations are increasingly turning to Apache Hadoop to tackle this challenge. Hadoop is a set of open source applications and utilities that can be used to reliably store and process big data. What makes Hadoop so attractive? Hadoop runs on commodity off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, making it relatively inexpensive to construct a large cluster. Hadoop supports unstructured data, which includes a wide range of data types and can perform analytics on the unstructured data without requiring a specific schema to describe the data. Hadoop is highly scalable, allowing companies to easily expand their existing cluster by adding more nodes without requiring extensive software modifications. Apache Hadoop is an open source platform. Hadoop runs on a wide range of Linux distributions. The Hadoop cluster is composed of a set of nodes or servers that consist of the following key components. Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) HDFS is a Java based file system which layers over the existing file systems in the cluster. The implementation allows the file system to span over all of the distributed data nodes in the Hadoop cluster to provide a scalable and reliable storage system.

Key Learning Goals • How many tasks should be created for a job running on a cluster with w worker machines? • What is the main difference between Hadoop MapReduce and Spark? • For a given problem, how many Map tasks, Map function calls, Reduce tasks, and Reduce function calls does MapReduce create? • How can we tell if a MapReduce program aggregates data from different Map calls before transmitting it to the Reducers? • How can we tell if an aggregation function in Spark aggregates locally on an RDD partition before transmitting it to the next downstream operation? 2 Key Learning Goals • Why do input and output type have to be the same for a Combiner? • What data does a single Mapper receive when a file is the input to a MapReduce job? And what data does the Mapper receive when the file is added to the distributed file cache? • Does Spark use the equivalent of a shared- memory programming model? 3 Introduction • MapReduce was proposed by Google in a research paper.
