To play with Hadoop, you may first want to install it on a single machine (see {{{./SingleCluster.html}Single Node Setup}}). * {Prerequisites} Download a stable version of Hadoop from Apache mirrors. * {Installation} Installing a Hadoop cluster typically involves unpacking the software on all the machines in the cluster or installing RPMs. Typically one machine in the cluster is designated as the NameNode and another machine the as ResourceManager, exclusively. These are the masters. The rest of the machines in the cluster act as both DataNode and NodeManager. These are the slaves. * {Running Hadoop in Non-Secure Mode} The following sections describe how to configure a Hadoop cluster. {Configuration Files} Hadoop configuration is driven by two types of important configuration files: * Read-only default configuration - <<>>, <<>>, <<>> and <<>>. * Site-specific configuration - <>, <>, <> and <>. Additionally, you can control the Hadoop scripts found in the bin/ directory of the distribution, by setting site-specific values via the <> and <>. {Site Configuration} To configure the Hadoop cluster you will need to configure the <<>> in which the Hadoop daemons execute as well as the <<>> for the Hadoop daemons. The Hadoop daemons are NameNode/DataNode and ResourceManager/NodeManager. ** {Configuring Environment of Hadoop Daemons} Administrators should use the <> and <> script to do site-specific customization of the Hadoop daemons' process environment. At the very least you should specify the <<>> so that it is correctly defined on each remote node. In most cases you should also specify <<>> and <<>> to point to directories that can only be written to by the users that are going to run the hadoop daemons. Otherwise there is the potential for a symlink attack. Administrators can configure individual daemons using the configuration options shown below in the table: *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ || Daemon || Environment Variable | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | NameNode | HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | DataNode | HADOOP_DATANODE_OPTS | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Secondary NameNode | HADOOP_SECONDARYNAMENODE_OPTS | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | ResourceManager | YARN_RESOURCEMANAGER_OPTS | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | NodeManager | YARN_NODEMANAGER_OPTS | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | WebAppProxy | YARN_PROXYSERVER_OPTS | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Map Reduce Job History Server | HADOOP_JOB_HISTORYSERVER_OPTS | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ For example, To configure Namenode to use parallelGC, the following statement should be added in hadoop-env.sh : ---- export HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS="-XX:+UseParallelGC ${HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS}" ---- Other useful configuration parameters that you can customize include: * <<>> / <<>> - The directory where the daemons' log files are stored. They are automatically created if they don't exist. * <<>> / <<>> - The maximum amount of heapsize to use, in MB e.g. if the varibale is set to 1000 the heap will be set to 1000MB. This is used to configure the heap size for the daemon. By default, the value is 1000. If you want to configure the values separately for each deamon you can use. *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ || Daemon || Environment Variable | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | ResourceManager | YARN_RESOURCEMANAGER_HEAPSIZE | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | NodeManager | YARN_NODEMANAGER_HEAPSIZE | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | WebAppProxy | YARN_PROXYSERVER_HEAPSIZE | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Map Reduce Job History Server | HADOOP_JOB_HISTORYSERVER_HEAPSIZE | *--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ ** {Configuring the Hadoop Daemons in Non-Secure Mode} This section deals with important parameters to be specified in the given configuration files: * <<>> *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ || Parameter || Value || Notes | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | NameNode URI | | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | 131072 | | | | | Size of read/write buffer used in SequenceFiles. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ * <<>> * Configurations for NameNode: *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ || Parameter || Value || Notes | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | | | | | Path on the local filesystem where the NameNode stores the namespace | | | | and transactions logs persistently. | | | | | If this is a comma-delimited list of directories then the name table is | | | | replicated in all of the directories, for redundancy. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> / <<>> | | | | | List of permitted/excluded DataNodes. | | | | | If necessary, use these files to control the list of allowable | | | | datanodes. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | 268435456 | | | | | HDFS blocksize of 256MB for large file-systems. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | 100 | | | | | More NameNode server threads to handle RPCs from large number of | | | | DataNodes. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ * Configurations for DataNode: *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ || Parameter || Value || Notes | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | | | | | Comma separated list of paths on the local filesystem of a | | | | <<>> where it should store its blocks. | | | | | If this is a comma-delimited list of directories, then data will be | | | | stored in all named directories, typically on different devices. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ * <<>> * Configurations for ResourceManager and NodeManager: *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ || Parameter || Value || Notes | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | | | | | <<>> / <<>> | | | | | Enable ACLs?

The NameNode and the ResourceManager obtains the rack information of the slaves in the cluster by invoking an API in an administrator configured module. The API resolves the DNS name (also IP address) to a rack id. The site-specific module to use can be configured using the configuration item <<>>. The default implementation of the same runs a script/command configured using <<>>. If <<>> is not set, the rack id is returned for any passed IP address. * {Monitoring Health of NodeManagers} Hadoop provides a mechanism by which administrators can configure the NodeManager to run an administrator supplied script periodically to determine if a node is healthy or not. Administrators can determine if the node is in a healthy state by performing any checks of their choice in the script. If the script detects the node to be in an unhealthy state, it must print a line to standard output beginning with the string ERROR. The NodeManager spawns the script periodically and checks its output. If the script's output contains the string ERROR, as described above, the node's status is reported as <<>> and the node is black-listed by the ResourceManager. No further tasks will be assigned to this node. However, the NodeManager continues to run the script, so that if the node becomes healthy again, it will be removed from the blacklisted nodes on the ResourceManager automatically. The node's health along with the output of the script, if it is unhealthy, is available to the administrator in the ResourceManager web interface. The time since the node was healthy is also displayed on the web interface. The following parameters can be used to control the node health monitoring script in <<>>. *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ || Parameter || Value || Notes | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | | | | | Node health script | | | | | Script to check for node's health status. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | | | | | Node health script options | | | | | Options for script to check for node's health status. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | | | | | Node health script interval | | | | | Time interval for running health script. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | <<>> | | | | | Node health script timeout interval | | | | | Timeout for health script execution. | *-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+ The health checker script is not supposed to give ERROR if only some of the local disks become bad. NodeManager has the ability to periodically check the health of the local disks (specifically checks nodemanager-local-dirs and nodemanager-log-dirs) and after reaching the threshold of number of bad directories based on the value set for the config property yarn.nodemanager.disk-health-checker.min-healthy-disks, the whole node is marked unhealthy and this info is sent to resource manager also. The boot disk is either raided or a failure in the boot disk is identified by the health checker script. * {Slaves file} Typically you choose one machine in the cluster to act as the NameNode and one machine as to act as the ResourceManager, exclusively. The rest of the machines act as both a DataNode and NodeManager and are referred to as . List all slave hostnames or IP addresses in your <<>> file, one per line. * {Logging} Hadoop uses the Apache log4j via the Apache Commons Logging framework for logging. Edit the <<>> file to customize the Hadoop daemons' logging configuration (log-formats and so on). * {Operating the Hadoop Cluster} Once all the necessary configuration is complete, distribute the files to the <<>> directory on all the machines. ** Hadoop Startup To start a Hadoop cluster you will need to start both the HDFS and YARN cluster.
