Try again (retries possible because of idempotence) Try again somewhere else Report failure What about slow tasks: stragglers Run another version of the same task in parallel. Take results from the one that finishes first What are the pros and cons of this approach? Fault tolerance is of high priority in the MapReduce framework HDFS Architecture Lifecycle of a MapReduce Job Time Input Splits Map Wave 1 Map Wave 2 Reduce Wave 1 Reduce Wave 2 How are the number of splits, number of map and reduce tasks, memory allocation to tasks, etc., determined? Job Configuration Parameters 190+ parameters in Hadoop Set manually or defaults are used Hadoop Job Configuration Parameters Image source: http://www.jaso.co.kr/265 Tuning Hadoop Job Conf. Parameters Do their settings impact performance? What are ways to set these parameters? Defaults -- are they good enough? Best practices -- the best setting can depend on data, job, and cluster properties Automatic setting Experimental Setting Hadoop cluster on 1 master + 16 workers Each node: 2GHz AMD processor, 1.8GB RAM, 30GB local disk
