Hadoop MapReduce短作业执行性能优化

Hadoop MapReduce并行计算框架被广泛应用于大规模数据并行处理.近年来,由于其能较好地处理大规模数据,Hadoop MapReduce也被越来越多地使用在查询应用中.为了能够处理大规模数据集,Hadoop的基本设计更多地强调了数据的高吞吐率.然而在处理对短作业响应性能有较高要求的查询应用时,Hadoop MapReduce并行计算框架存在明显不足.为了提升Hadoop对于短作业的执行效率,对原有的Hadoop MapReduce作出以下3点优化:1)通过优化原有的setup和cleanup任务的执行方式,成功地缩短了作业初始化环境准备和作业结束环境清理的时间;2)将首次任务分配从"拉"模式转变为"推"模式;3)将作业执行过程中JobTracker和TaskTrackers之间的控制消息通信从现有的周期性心跳机制中分离出来,采用即时传递机制.最后,采用一种典型的基于MapReduce并行化的查询应用BLAST,对优化工作进行了评估.各种不同类型BLAST作业的测试实验表明,与现有的标准Hadoop相比,优化后的Hadoop平均执行性能提升约23%.     

Hadoop平台下自响应故障感知的检测技术研究实现

当今云计算环境下,Hadoop已经成为大数据处理的事实标准。然而云计算具有大规模、高复杂和动态性的特点,容易导致故障的发生,影响Hadoop上运行的作业。虽然Hadoop具有内置的故障检测和恢复机制,但云环境中不同节点负载大小的变化,被调度的作业仍然导致失败。针对此问题提出自响应故障感知的检测调度方法,对异构环境负载能力的不同,而做出服务器快节点和慢节点的判断,把作业分配调度到合适的节点上执行,调整任务决策来尽可能的防止任务失败的发生。最后在Hadoop框架下与基本调度器进行实验性能比较,结果显示该方法减少作业失败率最高达19%,并缩短了作业执行时间,同时也减少CPU和内存的使用。

SHadoop: Improving MapReduce performance by optimizing job execution mechanism in Hadoop clusters

As a widely-used parallel computing framework for big data processing today, the Hadoop MapReduce framework puts more emphasis on high-throughput of data than on low-latency of job execution. However, today more and more big data applications developed with MapReduce require quick response time. As a result, improving the performance of MapReduce jobs, especially for short jobs, is of great significance in practice and has attracted more and more attentions from both academia and industry. A lot of efforts have been made to improve the performance of Hadoop from job scheduling or job parameter optimization level. In this paper, we explore an approach to improve the performance of the Hadoop MapReduce framework by optimizing the job and task execution mechanism. First of all, by analyzing the job and task execution mechanism in MapReduce framework we reveal two critical limitations to job execution performance. Then we propose two major optimizations to the MapReduce job and task execution mechanisms: first, we optimize the setup and cleanup tasks of a MapReduce job to reduce the time cost during the initialization and termination stages of the job; second, instead of adopting the loose heartbeat-based communication mechanism to transmit all messages between the JobTracker and TaskTrackers, we introduce an instant messaging communication mechanism for accelerating performance-sensitive task scheduling and execution. Finally, we implement SHadoop, an optimized and fully compatible version of Hadoop that aims at shortening the execution time cost of MapReduce jobs, especially for short jobs. Experimental results show that compared to the standard Hadoop, SHadoop can achieve stable performance improvement by around 25% on average for comprehensive benchmarks without losing scalability and speedup. Our optimization work has passed a production-level test in Intel and has been integrated into the Intel Distributed Hadoop (IDH). To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first effort that explores on optimizing the execution mechanism inside map/reduce tasks of a job. The advantage is that it can complement job scheduling optimizations to further improve the job execution performance.     

Designing a MapReduce performance model in distributed heterogeneous platforms based on benchmarking approach

MapReduce framework is an effective method for big data parallel processing. Enhancing the performance of MapReduce clusters, along with reducing their job execution time, is a fundamental challenge to this approach. In fact, one is faced with two challenges here: how to maximize the execution overlap between jobs and how to create an optimum job scheduling. Accordingly, one of the most critical challenges to achieving these goals is developing a precise model to estimate the job execution time due to the large number and high volume of the submitted jobs, limited consumable resources, and the need for proper Hadoop configuration. This paper presents a model based on MapReduce phases for predicting the execution time of jobs in a heterogeneous cluster. Moreover, a novel heuristic method is designed, which significantly reduces the makespan of the jobs. In this method, first by providing the job profiling tool, we obtain the execution details of the MapReduce phases through log analysis. Then, using machine learning methods and statistical analysis, we propose a relevant model to predict runtime. Finally, another tool called job submission and monitoring tool is used for calculating makespan. Different experiments were conducted on the benchmarks under identical conditions for all jobs. The results show that the average makespan speedup for the proposed method was higher than an unoptimized case.

Mapreduce performance model for Hadoop 2.x

MapReduce is a popular programming model for distributed processing of large data sets. Apache Hadoop is one of the most common open-source implementations of such paradigm. Performance analysis of concurrent job executions has been recognized as a challenging problem, at the same time, that may provide reasonably accurate job response time estimation at significantly lower cost than experimental evaluation of real setups. In this paper, we tackle the challenge of defining MapReduce performance model for Hadoop 2.x. While there are several efficient approaches for modeling the performance of MapReduce workloads in Hadoop 1.x, they could not be applied to Hadoop 2.x due to fundamental architectural changes and dynamic resource allocation in Hadoop 2.x. Thus, the proposed solution is based on an existing performance model for Hadoop 1.x, but taking into consideration architectural changes and capturing the execution flow of a MapReduce job by using queuing network model. This way, the cost model reflects the intra-job synchronization constraints that occur due the contention at shared resources. The accuracy of our solution is validated via comparison of our model estimates against measurements in a real Hadoop 2.x setup.     

一种基于深度强化学习的Spark Streaming参数优化方法

Spark Streaming作为主流的开源分布式流分析框架,性能优化是目前的研究热点之一。在Spark Streaming性能优化中,业务场景下的配置参数优化是其性能提升的重要因素。在Spark Streaming系统中,可配置的参数有200多个,对参数调优人员的经验要求较高,未经优化的参数配置会影响流作业执行性能。因此,针对Spark Streaming的参数配置优化问题,提出一种基于深度强化学习的Spark Streaming参数优化方法（DQN-SSPO）,将Spark Streaming参数优化配置问题转化为深度强化学习模型训练中的最大回报获得问题,并提出权重状态空间转移方法来增加模型训练获得高反馈奖励的概率。在3种典型的流分析任务上进行实验,结果表明经参数优化后Spark Streaming上的流作业性能在总调度时间上平均缩减27.93%,在总处理时间上平均缩减42%。     

Optimizing and Tuning MapReduce Jobs to Improve the Large‐Scale Data Analysis Process

Data‐intensive applications process large volumes of data using a parallel processing method. MapReduce is a programming model designed for data‐intensive applications for massive data sets and an execution framework for large‐scale data processing on clusters of commodity servers. While fault tolerance, easy programming structure, and high scalability are considered strong points of MapReduce; however its configuration parameters must be fine‐tuned to the specific deployment, which makes it more complex in configuration and performance. This paper explains tuning of the Hadoop configuration parameters, which directly affect MapReduce's job workflow performance under various conditions to achieve maximum performance. On the basis of the empirical data we collected, it became apparent that three main methodologies can affect the execution time of MapReduce running on cluster systems. Therefore, in this paper, we present a model that consists of three main modules: (1) Extending a data redistribution technique in order to find the high‐performance nodes, (2) Utilizing the number of map/reduce slots in order to make it more efficient in terms of execution time, and (3) Developing a new hybrid routing schedule shuffle phase in order to define the scheduler task while memory management level is reduced.
