<h2 class="h3">Overview</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>Hadoop Map-Reduce is a software framework for easily writing 
      applications which process vast amounts of data (multi-terabyte data-sets) 
      in-parallel on large clusters (thousands of nodes) of commodity 
      hardware in a reliable, fault-tolerant manner.</p>
<p>A Map-Reduce <em>job</em> usually splits the input data-set into 
      independent chunks which are processed by the <em>map tasks</em> in a
      completely parallel manner. The framework sorts the outputs of the maps, 
      which are then input to the <em>reduce tasks</em>. Typically both the 
      input and the output of the job are stored in a file-system. The framework 
      takes care of scheduling tasks, monitoring them and re-executes the failed
      tasks.</p>
<p>Typically the compute nodes and the storage nodes are the same, that is, 
      the Map-Reduce framework and the <a href="hdfs_design.html">Distributed 
      FileSystem</a> are running on the same set of nodes. This configuration
      allows the framework to effectively schedule tasks on the nodes where data 
      is already present, resulting in very high aggregate bandwidth across the 
      cluster.</p>
<p>The Map-Reduce framework consists of a single master 
      <span class="codefrag">JobTracker</span> and one slave <span class="codefrag">TaskTracker</span> per 
      cluster-node. The master is responsible for scheduling the jobs' component 
      tasks on the slaves, monitoring them and re-executing the failed tasks. The 
      slaves execute the tasks as directed by the master.</p>
<p>Minimally, applications specify the input/output locations and supply
      <em>map</em> and <em>reduce</em> functions via implementations of
      appropriate interfaces and/or abstract-classes. These, and other job 
      parameters, comprise the <em>job configuration</em>. The Hadoop

<h2 class="h3">Inputs and Outputs</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>The Map-Reduce framework operates exclusively on 
      <span class="codefrag">&lt;key, value&gt;</span> pairs, that is, the framework views the 
      input to the job as a set of <span class="codefrag">&lt;key, value&gt;</span> pairs and 
      produces a set of <span class="codefrag">&lt;key, value&gt;</span> pairs as the output of 
      the job, conceivably of different types.</p>
<p>The <span class="codefrag">key</span> and <span class="codefrag">value</span> classes have to be 
      serializable by the framework and hence need to implement the 
      <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/io/Writable.html">Writable</a> 
      interface. Additionally, the <span class="codefrag">key</span> classes have to implement the
      <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/io/WritableComparable.html">
      WritableComparable</a> interface to facilitate sorting by the framework.

<h3 class="h4">Walk-through</h3>
<p>The <span class="codefrag">WordCount</span> application is quite straight-forward.</p>
<p>The <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span> implementation (lines 14-26), via the 
        <span class="codefrag">map</span> method (lines 18-25), processes one line at a time,
        as provided by the specified <span class="codefrag">TextInputFormat</span> (line 49). 
        It then splits the line into tokens separated by whitespaces, via the 
        <span class="codefrag">StringTokenizer</span>, and emits a key-value pair of 
        <span class="codefrag">&lt; &lt;word&gt;, 1&gt;</span>.</p>
<p>
          For the given sample input the first map emits:<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Hello, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; World, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Bye, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; World, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
        
</p>
<p>
          The second map emits:<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Hello, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Hadoop, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Goodbye, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Hadoop, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
        
</p>
<p>We'll learn more about the number of maps spawned for a given job, and
        how to control them in a fine-grained manner, a bit later in the 
        tutorial.</p>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">WordCount</span> also specifies a <span class="codefrag">combiner</span> (line 
        46). Hence, the output of each map is passed through the local combiner 
        (which is same as the <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> as per the job 
        configuration) for local aggregation, after being sorted on the 
        <em>key</em>s.</p>
<p>
          The output of the first map:<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Bye, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Hello, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; World, 2&gt;</span>
<br>
        
</p>
<p>
          The output of the second map:<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Goodbye, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Hadoop, 2&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Hello, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
        
</p>
<p>The <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> implementation (lines 28-36), via the
        <span class="codefrag">reduce</span> method (lines 29-35) just sums up the values,
        which are the occurence counts for each key (i.e. words in this example).
        </p>
<p>
          Thus the output of the job is:<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Bye, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Goodbye, 1&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Hadoop, 2&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; Hello, 2&gt;</span>
<br>
          
<span class="codefrag">&lt; World, 2&gt;</span>
<br>
        
</p>
<p>The <span class="codefrag">run</span> method specifies various facets of the job, such 
        as the input/output paths (passed via the command line), key/value 
        types, input/output formats etc., in the <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span>.
        It then calls the <span class="codefrag">JobClient.runJob</span> (line  55) to submit the
        and monitor its progress.</p>
<p>We'll learn more about <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span>, <span class="codefrag">JobClient</span>,
        <span class="codefrag">Tool</span> and other interfaces and classes a bit later in the 
        tutorial.</p>

<h2 class="h3">Map-Reduce - User Interfaces</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>This section provides a reasonable amount of detail on every user-facing 
      aspect of the Map-Reduce framwork. This should help users implement, 
      configure and tune their jobs in a fine-grained manner. However, please 
      note that the javadoc for each class/interface remains the most 
      comprehensive documentation available; this is only meant to be a tutorial.
      </p>
<p>Let us first take the <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span> and <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> 
      interfaces. Applications typically implement them to provide the 
      <span class="codefrag">map</span> and <span class="codefrag">reduce</span> methods.</p>
<p>We will then discuss other core interfaces including 
      <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span>, <span class="codefrag">JobClient</span>, <span class="codefrag">Partitioner</span>, 
      <span class="codefrag">OutputCollector</span>, <span class="codefrag">Reporter</span>, 
      <span class="codefrag">InputFormat</span>, <span class="codefrag">OutputFormat</span> and others.</p>
<p>Finally, we will wrap up by discussing some useful features of the
      framework such as the <span class="codefrag">DistributedCache</span>, 
      <span class="codefrag">IsolationRunner</span> etc.</p>
<a name="N105DC"></a><a name="Payload"></a>
<h3 class="h4">Payload</h3>
<p>Applications typically implement the <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span> and 
        <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> interfaces to provide the <span class="codefrag">map</span> and 
        <span class="codefrag">reduce</span> methods. These form the core of the job.</p>
<a name="N105F1"></a><a name="Mapper"></a>
<h4>Mapper</h4>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/Mapper.html">
          Mapper</a> maps input key/value pairs to a set of intermediate 
          key/value pairs.</p>
<p>Maps are the individual tasks that transform input records into 
          intermediate records. The transformed intermediate records do not need
          to be of the same type as the input records. A given input pair may 
          map to zero or many output pairs.</p>
<p>The Hadoop Map-Reduce framework spawns one map task for each 
          <span class="codefrag">InputSplit</span> generated by the <span class="codefrag">InputFormat</span> for 
          the job.</p>
<p>Overall, <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span> implementations are passed the 
          <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span> for the job via the 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConfigurable.html#configure(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf)">
          JobConfigurable.configure(JobConf)</a> method and override it to 
          initialize themselves. The framework then calls 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/Mapper.html#map(K1, V1, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.OutputCollector, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Reporter)">
          map(WritableComparable, Writable, OutputCollector, Reporter)</a> for 
          each key/value pair in the <span class="codefrag">InputSplit</span> for that task.        
          Applications can then override the
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/io/Closeable.html#close()">
          Closeable.close()</a> method to perform any required cleanup.</p>
<p>Output pairs do not need to be of the same types as input pairs. A 
          given input pair may map to zero or many output pairs.  Output pairs 
          are collected with calls to 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/OutputCollector.html#collect(K, V)">
          OutputCollector.collect(WritableComparable,Writable)</a>.</p>
<p>Applications can use the <span class="codefrag">Reporter</span> to report 
          progress, set application-level status messages and update 
          <span class="codefrag">Counters</span>, or just indicate that they are alive.</p>
<p>All intermediate values associated with a given output key are 
          subsequently grouped by the framework, and passed to the
          <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span>(s) to  determine the final output. Users can 
          control the grouping by specifying a <span class="codefrag">Comparator</span> via 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setOutputKeyComparatorClass(java.lang.Class)">
          JobConf.setOutputKeyComparatorClass(Class)</a>.</p>
<p>The <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span> outputs are sorted and then 
          partitioned per <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span>. The total number of partitions is 
          the same as the number of reduce tasks for the job. Users can control 
          which keys (and hence records) go to which <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> by 
          implementing a custom <span class="codefrag">Partitioner</span>.</p>
<p>Users can optionally specify a <span class="codefrag">combiner</span>, via 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setCombinerClass(java.lang.Class)">
          JobConf.setCombinerClass(Class)</a>, to perform local aggregation of 
          the intermediate outputs, which helps to cut down the amount of data 
          transferred from the <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span> to the <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span>.
          </p>
<p>The intermediate, sorted outputs are always stored in a simple 
          (key-len, key, value-len, value) format. 
          Applications can control if, and how, the 
          intermediate outputs are to be compressed and the 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/io/compress/CompressionCodec.html">
          CompressionCodec</a> to be used via the <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span>.
          </p>
<a name="N10667"></a><a name="How+Many+Maps%3F"></a>
<h5>How Many Maps?</h5>
<p>The number of maps is usually driven by the total size of the 
            inputs, that is, the total number of blocks of the input files.</p>
<p>The right level of parallelism for maps seems to be around 10-100 
            maps per-node, although it has been set up to 300 maps for very 
            cpu-light map tasks. Task setup takes awhile, so it is best if the 
            maps take at least a minute to execute.</p>
<p>Thus, if you expect 10TB of input data and have a blocksize of 
            <span class="codefrag">128MB</span>, you'll end up with 82,000 maps, unless 
            <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setNumMapTasks(int)">
            setNumMapTasks(int)</a> (which only provides a hint to the framework) 
            is used to set it even higher.</p>
<a name="N1067F"></a><a name="Reducer"></a>
<h4>Reducer</h4>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/Reducer.html">
          Reducer</a> reduces a set of intermediate values which share a key to
          a smaller set of values.</p>
<p>The number of reduces for the job is set by the user 
          via <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setNumReduceTasks(int)">
          JobConf.setNumReduceTasks(int)</a>.</p>
<p>Overall, <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> implementations are passed the 
          <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span> for the job via the 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConfigurable.html#configure(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf)">
          JobConfigurable.configure(JobConf)</a> method and can override it to 
          initialize themselves. The framework then calls   
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/Reducer.html#reduce(K2, java.util.Iterator, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.OutputCollector, org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Reporter)">
          reduce(WritableComparable, Iterator, OutputCollector, Reporter)</a>
          method for each <span class="codefrag">&lt;key, (list of values)&gt;</span> 
          pair in the grouped inputs. Applications can then override the           
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/io/Closeable.html#close()">
          Closeable.close()</a> method to perform any required cleanup.</p>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> has 3 primary phases: shuffle, sort and reduce.
          </p>
<a name="N106AF"></a><a name="Shuffle"></a>
<h5>Shuffle</h5>
<p>Input to the <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> is the sorted output of the
            mappers. In this phase the framework fetches the relevant partition 
            of the output of all the mappers, via HTTP.</p>
<a name="N106BC"></a><a name="Sort"></a>
<h5>Sort</h5>
<p>The framework groups <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> inputs by keys (since 
            different mappers may have output the same key) in this stage.</p>
<p>The shuffle and sort phases occur simultaneously; while 
            map-outputs are being fetched they are merged.</p>
<a name="N106CB"></a><a name="Secondary+Sort"></a>
<h5>Secondary Sort</h5>
<p>If equivalence rules for grouping the intermediate keys are 
              required to be different from those for grouping keys before 
              reduction, then one may specify a <span class="codefrag">Comparator</span> via 
              <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setOutputValueGroupingComparator(java.lang.Class)">
              JobConf.setOutputValueGroupingComparator(Class)</a>. Since 
              <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setOutputKeyComparatorClass(java.lang.Class)">
              JobConf.setOutputKeyComparatorClass(Class)</a> can be used to 
              control how intermediate keys are grouped, these can be used in 
              conjunction to simulate <em>secondary sort on values</em>.</p>
<a name="N106E4"></a><a name="Reduce"></a>
<h5>Reduce</h5>
<p>In this phase the

            pair in the grouped inputs.</p>

<h5>How Many Reduces?</h5>
<p>The right number of reduces seems to be <span class="codefrag">0.95</span> or 
            <span class="codefrag">1.75</span> multiplied by (&lt;<em>no. of nodes</em>&gt; * 
            <span class="codefrag">mapred.tasktracker.reduce.tasks.maximum</span>).</p>
<p>With <span class="codefrag">0.95</span> all of the reduces can launch immediately 
            and start transfering map outputs as the maps finish. With 
            <span class="codefrag">1.75</span> the faster nodes will finish their first round of 
            reduces and launch a second wave of reduces doing a much better job 
            of load balancing.</p>
<p>Increasing the number of reduces increases the framework overhead, 
            but increases load balancing and lowers the cost of failures.</p>
<p>The scaling factors above are slightly less than whole numbers to 
            reserve a few reduce slots in the framework for speculative-tasks and
            failed tasks.</p>
<a name="N10737"></a><a name="Reducer+NONE"></a>
<h5>Reducer NONE</h5>
<p>It is legal to set the number of reduce-tasks to <em>zero</em> if 
            no reduction is desired.</p>
<p>In this case the outputs of the map-tasks go directly to the
            <span class="codefrag">FileSystem</span>, into the output path set by 
            <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/FileOutputFormat.html#setOutputPath(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf,%20org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path)">
            setOutputPath(Path)</a>. The framework does not sort the 
            map-outputs before writing them out to the <span class="codefrag">FileSystem</span>.

<h4>Partitioner</h4>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/Partitioner.html">
          Partitioner</a> partitions the key space.</p>
<p>Partitioner controls the partitioning of the keys of the 
          intermediate map-outputs. The key (or a subset of the key) is used to 
          derive the partition, typically by a <em>hash function</em>. The total 
          number of partitions is the same as the number of reduce tasks for the 
          job. Hence this controls which of the <span class="codefrag">m</span> reduce tasks the 
          intermediate key (and hence the record) is sent to for reduction.</p>

<h4>Reporter</h4>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/Reporter.html">
          Reporter</a> is a facility for Map-Reduce applications to report 
          progress, set application-level status messages and update 
          <span class="codefrag">Counters</span>.</p>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">Mapper</span> and <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> implementations can use 
          the <span class="codefrag">Reporter</span> to report progress or just indicate 
          that they are alive. In scenarios where the application takes a
          significant amount of time to process individual key/value pairs, 
          this is crucial since the framework might assume that the task has 
          timed-out and kill that task. Another way to avoid this is to 
          set the configuration parameter <span class="codefrag">mapred.task.timeout</span> to a
          high-enough value (or even set it to <em>zero</em> for no time-outs).

<h4>OutputCollector</h4>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/OutputCollector.html">
          OutputCollector</a> is a generalization of the facility provided by

<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html">
        JobConf</a> represents a Map-Reduce job configuration.</p>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">JobConf</span> is the primary interface for a user to describe
        a map-reduce job to the Hadoop framework for execution. The framework 
        tries to faithfully execute the job as described by <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span>, 
        however:</p>
<ul>
          
<li>f
            Some configuration parameters may have been marked as

            setNumReduceTasks(int)</a>), other parameters interact subtly with 
            the rest of the framework and/or job configuration and are 
            more complex to set (e.g. 
            <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setNumMapTasks(int)">

<h3 class="h4">Task Execution &amp; Environment</h3>
<p>The <span class="codefrag">TaskTracker</span> executes the <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span>/

        </p>
<p>The child-task inherits the environment of the parent 
        <span class="codefrag">TaskTracker</span>. The user can specify additional options to the
        child-jvm via the <span class="codefrag">mapred.child.java.opts</span> configuration
        parameter in the <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span> such as non-standard paths for the 
        run-time linker to search shared libraries via 
        <span class="codefrag">-Djava.library.path=&lt;&gt;</span> etc. If the 
        <span class="codefrag">mapred.child.java.opts</span> contains the symbol <em>@taskid@</em>

<p>The task tracker has local directory,

        cache and localized job. It can define multiple local directories 
        (spanning multiple disks) and then each filename is assigned to a
        semi-random local directory. When the job starts, task tracker 
        creates a localized job directory relative to the local directory
        specified in the configuration. Thus the task tracker directory 
        structure looks the following: </p>

<li>
<span class="codefrag">${mapred.local.dir}/taskTracker/archive/</span> :

<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobClient.html">
        JobClient</a> is the primary interface by which user-job interacts
        with the <span class="codefrag">JobTracker</span>.</p>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">JobClient</span> provides facilities to submit jobs, track their 
        progress, access component-tasks' reports/logs, get the Map-Reduce 
        cluster's status information and so on.</p>
<p>The job submission process involves:</p>
<ol>
          
<li>Checking the input and output specifications of the job.</li>
          
<li>Computing the <span class="codefrag">InputSplit</span> values for the job.</li>
          
<li>
            Setting up the requisite accounting information for the 
            <span class="codefrag">DistributedCache</span> of the job, if necessary.
          </li>
          
<li>
            Copying the job's jar and configuration to the map-reduce system 
            directory on the <span class="codefrag">FileSystem</span>.
          </li>
          
<li>
            Submitting the job to the <span class="codefrag">JobTracker</span> and optionally 
            monitoring it's status.
          </li>
        
</ol>
<p> Job history files are also logged to user specified directory
        <span class="codefrag">hadoop.job.history.user.location</span> 
        which defaults to job output directory. The files are stored in
        "_logs/history/" in the specified directory. Hence, by default they
        will be in mapred.output.dir/_logs/history. User can stop
        logging by giving the value <span class="codefrag">none</span> for 
        <span class="codefrag">hadoop.job.history.user.location</span>
</p>
<p> User can view the history logs summary in specified directory 
        using the following command <br>
        
<span class="codefrag">$ bin/hadoop job -history output-dir</span>
<br> 
        This command will print job details, failed and killed tip
        details. <br>
        More details about the job such as successful tasks and 
        task attempts made for each task can be viewed using the  
        following command <br>
       
<span class="codefrag">$ bin/hadoop job -history all output-dir</span>

        to filter log files from the output directory listing. </p>
<p>Normally the user creates the application, describes various facets 
        of the job via <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span>, and then uses the 
        <span class="codefrag">JobClient</span> to submit the job and monitor its progress.</p>

<h4>Job Control</h4>
<p>Users may need to chain map-reduce jobs to accomplish complex
          tasks which cannot be done via a single map-reduce job. This is fairly
          easy since the output of the job typically goes to distributed 
          file-system, and the output, in turn, can be used as the input for the 
          next job.</p>
<p>However, this also means that the onus on ensuring jobs are 
          complete (success/failure) lies squarely on the clients. In such 
          cases, the various job-control options are:</p>
<ul>
            
<li>
              
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobClient.html#runJob(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf)">

<h3 class="h4">Job Input</h3>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/InputFormat.html">
        InputFormat</a> describes the input-specification for a Map-Reduce job.
        </p>
<p>The Map-Reduce framework relies on the <span class="codefrag">InputFormat</span> of 
        the job to:</p>
<ol>
          
<li>Validate the input-specification of the job.</li>
          
<li>
            Split-up the input file(s) into logical <span class="codefrag">InputSplit</span> 
            instances, each of which is then assigned to an individual 
            <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span>.
          </li>
          
<li>
            Provide the <span class="codefrag">RecordReader</span> implementation used to
            glean input records from the logical <span class="codefrag">InputSplit</span> for 
            processing by the <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span>.
          </li>
        
</ol>
<p>The default behavior of file-based <span class="codefrag">InputFormat</span>
        implementations, typically sub-classes of 
        <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/FileInputFormat.html">
        FileInputFormat</a>, is to split the input into <em>logical</em> 
        <span class="codefrag">InputSplit</span> instances based on the total size, in bytes, of 
        the input files. However, the <span class="codefrag">FileSystem</span> blocksize of the 
        input files is treated as an upper bound for input splits. A lower bound
        on the split size can be set via <span class="codefrag">mapred.min.split.size</span>.</p>
<p>Clearly, logical splits based on input-size is insufficient for many
        applications since record boundaries must be respected. In such cases, 
        the application should implement a <span class="codefrag">RecordReader</span>, who is 
        responsible for respecting record-boundaries and presents a 
        record-oriented view of the logical <span class="codefrag">InputSplit</span> to the 
        individual task.</p>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/TextInputFormat.html">
        TextInputFormat</a> is the default <span class="codefrag">InputFormat</span>.</p>
<p>If <span class="codefrag">TextInputFormat</span> is the <span class="codefrag">InputFormat</span> for a 
        given job, the framework detects input-files with the <em>.gz</em> and 
        <em>.lzo</em> extensions and automatically decompresses them using the 
        appropriate <span class="codefrag">CompressionCodec</span>. However, it must be noted that
        compressed files with the above extensions cannot be <em>split</em> and 
        each compressed file is processed in its entirety by a single mapper.</p>

<a name="N10B4D"></a><a name="Task+Side-Effect+Files"></a>
<h4>Task Side-Effect Files</h4>
<p>In some applications, component tasks need to create and/or write to
          side-files, which differ from the actual job-output files.</p>
<p>In such cases there could be issues with two instances of the same 
          <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span> or <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span> running simultaneously (for
          example, speculative tasks) trying to open and/or write to the same 
          file (path) on the <span class="codefrag">FileSystem</span>. Hence the 
          application-writer will have to pick unique names per task-attempt 
          (using the attemptid, say <span class="codefrag">attempt_200709221812_0001_m_000000_0</span>), 
          not just per task.</p>
<p>To avoid these issues the Map-Reduce framework maintains a special 
          <span class="codefrag">${mapred.output.dir}/_temporary/_${taskid}</span> sub-directory
          accessible via <span class="codefrag">${mapred.work.output.dir}</span>
          for each task-attempt on the <span class="codefrag">FileSystem</span> where the output
          of the task-attempt is stored. On successful completion of the 
          task-attempt, the files in the 
          <span class="codefrag">${mapred.output.dir}/_temporary/_${taskid}</span> (only) 
          are <em>promoted</em> to <span class="codefrag">${mapred.output.dir}</span>. Of course, 
          the framework discards the sub-directory of unsuccessful task-attempts. 
          This process is completely transparent to the application.</p>
<p>The application-writer can take advantage of this feature by 
          creating any side-files required in <span class="codefrag">${mapred.work.output.dir}</span>
          during execution of a task via 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/FileOutputFormat.html#getWorkOutputPath(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf)">
          FileOutputFormat.getWorkOutputPath()</a>, and the framework will promote them 
          similarly for succesful task-attempts, thus eliminating the need to 
          pick unique paths per task-attempt.</p>
<p>Note: The value of <span class="codefrag">${mapred.work.output.dir}</span> during 
          execution of a particular task-attempt is actually 
          <span class="codefrag">${mapred.output.dir}/_temporary/_{$taskid}</span>, and this value is 
          set by the map-reduce framework. So, just create any side-files in the 
          path  returned by
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/FileOutputFormat.html#getWorkOutputPath(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf)">
          FileOutputFormat.getWorkOutputPath() </a>from map/reduce 
          task to take advantage of this feature.</p>
<p>The entire discussion holds true for maps of jobs with 
           reducer=NONE (i.e. 0 reduces) since output of the map, in that case, 
           goes directly to HDFS.</p>

<h4>Counters</h4>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">Counters</span> represent global counters, defined either by

          <span class="codefrag">Enum</span> are bunched into groups of type

<p>Applications can define arbitrary <span class="codefrag">Counters</span> (of type

<h4>DistributedCache</h4>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/filecache/DistributedCache.html">
          DistributedCache</a> distributes application-specific, large, read-only 
          files efficiently.</p>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">DistributedCache</span> is a facility provided by the 
          Map-Reduce framework to cache files (text, archives, jars and so on) 
          needed by applications.</p>
<p>Applications specify the files to be cached via urls (hdfs://)
          in the <span class="codefrag">JobConf</span>. The <span class="codefrag">DistributedCache</span> 
          assumes that the files specified via hdfs:// urls are already present 
          on the <span class="codefrag">FileSystem</span>.</p>
<p>The framework will copy the necessary files to the slave node 
          before any tasks for the job are executed on that node. Its 
          efficiency stems from the fact that the files are only copied once 
          per job and the ability to cache archives which are un-archived on 
          the slaves.</p>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">DistributedCache</span> tracks the modification timestamps of 
          the cached files. Clearly the cache files should not be modified by 
          the application or externally while the job is executing.</p>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">DistributedCache</span> can be used to distribute simple, 
          read-only data/text files and more complex types such as archives and
          jars. Archives (zip, tar, tgz and tar.gz files) are 
          <em>un-archived</em> at the slave nodes. Files 
          have <em>execution permissions</em> set. </p>
<p>The files/archives can be distributed by setting the property
          <span class="codefrag">mapred.cache.{files|archives}</span>. If more than one 
          file/archive has to be distributed, they can be added as comma
          separated paths. The properties can also be set by APIs 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/filecache/DistributedCache.html#addCacheFile(java.net.URI,%20org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration)">
          DistributedCache.addCacheFile(URI,conf)</a>/ 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/filecache/DistributedCache.html#addCacheArchive(java.net.URI,%20org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration)">
          DistributedCache.addCacheArchive(URI,conf)</a> and

          DistributedCache.setCacheArchives(URIs,conf)</a> 
          where URI is of the form
          <span class="codefrag">hdfs://host:port/absolute-path#link-name</span>.
          In Streaming, the files can be distributed through command line
          option <span class="codefrag">-cacheFile/-cacheArchive</span>.</p>
<p>Optionally users can also direct the <span class="codefrag">DistributedCache</span>
          to <em>symlink</em> the cached file(s) into the <span class="codefrag">current working 
          directory</span> of the task via the 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/filecache/DistributedCache.html#createSymlink(org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration)">
          DistributedCache.createSymlink(Configuration)</a> api. Or by setting
          the configuration property <span class="codefrag">mapred.create.symlink</span>
          as <span class="codefrag">yes</span>. The DistributedCache will use the 
          <span class="codefrag">fragment</span> of the URI as the name of the symlink. 
          For example, the URI 
          <span class="codefrag">hdfs://namenode:port/lib.so.1#lib.so</span>
          will have the symlink name as <span class="codefrag">lib.so</span> in task's cwd
          for the file <span class="codefrag">lib.so.1</span> in distributed cache.</p>
<p>The <span class="codefrag">DistributedCache</span> can also be used as a 
          rudimentary software distribution mechanism for use in the
          map and/or reduce tasks. It can be used to distribute both
          jars and native libraries. The

          DistributedCache.addFileToClassPath(Path, Configuration)</a> api 
          can be used to cache files/jars and also add them to the 
          <em>classpath</em> of child-jvm. The same can be done by setting
          the configuration properties 
          <span class="codefrag">mapred.job.classpath.{files|archives}</span>. Similarly the
          cached files that are symlinked into the working directory of the
          task can be used to distribute native libraries and load them.</p>

<h4>IsolationRunner</h4>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/IsolationRunner.html">
          IsolationRunner</a> is a utility to help debug Map-Reduce programs.</p>
<p>To use the <span class="codefrag">IsolationRunner</span>, first set 
          <span class="codefrag">keep.failed.tasks.files</span> to <span class="codefrag">true</span> 
          (also see <span class="codefrag">keep.tasks.files.pattern</span>).</p>
<p>
            Next, go to the node on which the failed task ran and go to the 
            <span class="codefrag">TaskTracker</span>'s local directory and run the 
            <span class="codefrag">IsolationRunner</span>:<br>
            
<span class="codefrag">$ cd &lt;local path&gt;/taskTracker/${taskid}/work</span>
<br>
            
<span class="codefrag">
              $ bin/hadoop org.apache.hadoop.mapred.IsolationRunner ../job.xml
            </span>
          
</p>
<p>
<span class="codefrag">IsolationRunner</span> will run the failed task in a single 
          jvm, which can be in the debugger, over precisely the same input.</p>
<a name="N10CC9"></a><a name="Profiling"></a>
<h4>Profiling</h4>
<p>Profiling is a utility to get a representative (2 or 3) sample
          of built-in java profiler for a sample of maps and reduces. </p>
<p>User can specify whether the system should collect profiler
          information for some of the tasks in the job by setting the
          configuration property <span class="codefrag">mapred.task.profile</span>. The
          value can be set using the api 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setProfileEnabled(boolean)">
          JobConf.setProfileEnabled(boolean)</a>. If the value is set 
          <span class="codefrag">true</span>, the task profiling is enabled. The profiler
          information is stored in the the user log directory. By default, 
          profiling is not enabled for the job.  </p>
<p>Once user configures that profiling is needed, she/he can use
          the configuration property 
          <span class="codefrag">mapred.task.profile.{maps|reduces}</span> to set the ranges
          of map/reduce tasks to profile. The value can be set using the api 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setProfileTaskRange(boolean,%20java.lang.String)">
          JobConf.setProfileTaskRange(boolean,String)</a>.
          By default, the specified range is <span class="codefrag">0-2</span>.</p>
<p>User can also specify the profiler configuration arguments by 
          setting the configuration property 
          <span class="codefrag">mapred.task.profile.params</span>. The value can be specified 
          using the api
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setProfileParams(java.lang.String)">
          JobConf.setProfileParams(String)</a>. If the string contains a 
          <span class="codefrag">%s</span>, it will be replaced with the name of the profiling
          output file when the task runs. These parameters are passed to the
          task child JVM on the command line. The default value for 
          the profiling parameters is 
          <span class="codefrag">-agentlib:hprof=cpu=samples,heap=sites,force=n,thread=y,verbose=n,file=%s</span>

<h4>Debugging</h4>
<p>Map/Reduce framework provides a facility to run user-provided 
          scripts for debugging. When map/reduce task fails, user can run 
          script for doing post-processing on task logs i.e task's stdout,
          stderr, syslog and jobconf. The stdout and stderr of the
          user-provided debug script are printed on the diagnostics. 
          These outputs are also displayed on job UI on demand. </p>
<p> In the following sections we discuss how to submit debug script
          along with the job. For submitting debug script, first it has to
          distributed. Then the script has to supplied in Configuration. </p>
<a name="N10D09"></a><a name="How+to+distribute+script+file%3A"></a>
<h5> How to distribute script file: </h5>
<p>
          The user has to use 
          <a href="mapred_tutorial.html#DistributedCache">DistributedCache</a>
          mechanism to <em>distribute</em> and <em>symlink</em> the
          debug script file.</p>
<a name="N10D1D"></a><a name="How+to+submit+script%3A"></a>
<h5> How to submit script: </h5>
<p> A quick way to submit debug script is to set values for the 
          properties "mapred.map.task.debug.script" and 
          "mapred.reduce.task.debug.script" for debugging map task and reduce
          task respectively. These properties can also be set by using APIs 
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setMapDebugScript(java.lang.String)">
          JobConf.setMapDebugScript(String) </a> and
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/JobConf.html#setReduceDebugScript(java.lang.String)">
          JobConf.setReduceDebugScript(String) </a>. For streaming, debug 
          script can be submitted with command-line options -mapdebug,
          -reducedebug for debugging mapper and reducer respectively.</p>
<p>The arguments of the script are task's stdout, stderr, 
          syslog and jobconf files. The debug command, run on the node where
          the map/reduce failed, is: <br>
          
<span class="codefrag"> $script $stdout $stderr $syslog $jobconf </span> 
</p>
<p> Pipes programs have the c++ program name as a fifth argument
          for the command. Thus for the pipes programs the command is <br> 
          
<span class="codefrag">$script $stdout $stderr $syslog $jobconf $program </span>  
          
</p>
<a name="N10D3F"></a><a name="Default+Behavior%3A"></a>
<h5> Default Behavior: </h5>
<p> For pipes, a default script is run to process core dumps under
          gdb, prints stack trace and gives info about running threads. </p>

<h4>JobControl</h4>
<p>
<a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/jobcontrol/package-summary.html">
          JobControl</a> is a utility which encapsulates a set of Map-Reduce jobs
          and their dependencies.</p>
<a name="N10D57"></a><a name="Data+Compression"></a>
<h4>Data Compression</h4>
<p>Hadoop Map-Reduce provides facilities for the application-writer to
          specify compression for both intermediate map-outputs and the
          job-outputs i.e. output of the reduces. It also comes bundled with
          <a href="api/org/apache/hadoop/io/compress/CompressionCodec.html">
          CompressionCodec</a> implementations for the 
          <a href="http://www.zlib.net/">zlib</a> and <a href="http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/">lzo</a> compression 
          algorithms. The <a href="http://www.gzip.org/">gzip</a> file format is also
          supported.</p>
<p>Hadoop also provides native implementations of the above compression
          codecs for reasons of both performance (zlib) and non-availability of
          Java libraries (lzo). More details on their usage and availability are
          available <a href="native_libraries.html">here</a>.</p>

<li>
            Demonstrates how applications can access configuration parameters
            in the <span class="codefrag">configure</span> method of the <span class="codefrag">Mapper</span> (and
            <span class="codefrag">Reducer</span>) implementations (lines 28-43).
          </li>
          
<li>
            Demonstrates how the <span class="codefrag">DistributedCache</span> can be used to 
            distribute read-only data needed by the jobs. Here it allows the user 
            to specify word-patterns to skip while counting (line 104).
          </li>
          
<li>
            Demonstrates the utility of the <span class="codefrag">Tool</span> interface and the
            <span class="codefrag">GenericOptionsParser</span> to handle generic Hadoop 
            command-line options (lines 87-116, 119).
          </li>
          
<li>
            Demonstrates how applications can use <span class="codefrag">Counters</span> (line 68)
            and how they can set application-specific status information via 
            the <span class="codefrag">Reporter</span> instance passed to the <span class="codefrag">map</span> (and
            <span class="codefrag">reduce</span>) method (line 72).
