  5. Creating Your Own Test
  6. Docker Image Structure

General Overview

The purpose of this project is to better understand the inner workings of Hadoop, primarily MapReduce(MR), the Hadoop Distributed File System(HDFS), and its resource negotiator (YARN). Currently, the work of this project focuses on reverse engineering MapReduce so that we can begin the development of a faithful, WRENCH based, Hadoop MapReduce simulator.

First, we list a number of resources (slides, literature, websites) that provide high level explanations of the Hadoop components mentioned above. Next, we outline the contents of this repository. Following that are instructions on how to run a series of structural tests we have developed to help understand MapReduce. This involves simulating a simple, single node, Hadoop "cluster". Finally, we demonstrate how to use the testing code to create your own tests if necessary.

Hadoop Resources

Before diving into the low level implementation details of the Hadoop source code, it can be worthwhile to read through the following material.

Academic Articles

  • MapReduce: simplified data processing on large clusters (ACM 10.1145/1327452.1327492)
  • The Hadoop Distributed File System (978-1-4244-7153-9 IEEE)
  • Apache Hadoop YARN: Yet Another Resource Manager (ACM 978-1-4503-2428-1)

Tests and Current Findings

There are currently 4 tests in the understanding_hadoop/hadoop_mr_tests directory. Each test was developed by first getting an understanding of what happens during MR based on information provided from the resources above, then reading through pertinent source code in understanding_hadoop/hadoop_pseudodistributed_mode_container/hadoop (which has been cloned from https://github.com/apache/hadoop.git), making assumptions about what that source code actually does, then testing our assumptions by running a word count MR program on some input, and finally (understanding_hadoop/hadoop_pseudodistributed_mode_container/hadoop/hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-examples/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/examples/WordCount.java) analyzing an aggregation of logs produced by Hadoop (some of which were added into the source code by us to get more information than what was already logged).

Tests are set up such that they can be run by navigating to understanding_hadoop/hadoop_mr_tests, then running the command ./build_and_run_test.sh <name of directory that contains the test (but without trailing forward slash).

The following subsections discuss each test, their findings, and how to run them.

Test: Number of Map Tasks

Description

Test to answer the question: How many map tasks are started given some input(s)? The HDFS block size is fixed at 16 MiB, which is set in understanding_hadoop/hadoop_pseudodistributed_mode_container/hadoop/custom_configs/hdfs-site.xml. By varying the number of input files, and their sizes, we can see how many map tasks are started based on output from the word count program.

Running the Test

  1. Navigate to hadoop_mr_tests.
  2. Run ./build_and_run_test.sh number_of_map_tasks.
  • This may take a few minutes to complete.
  1. Visually inspect output.
  • We care about the line that says: "Launched map tasks="

The output from this test will resemble the following:

Result

In hadoop_mr_tests/number_of_map_tasks/run_test.py, we have the following test cases and their results:

TestCase = namedtuple("TestCase", ["num_files", "file_size_in_MiB", "description"])

test_cases = [
    TestCase(1, 1, "single file smaller than block size"),          # Launched map tasks=1
    TestCase(1, 20, "single file larger than block size"),          # Launched map tasks=2
    TestCase(2, 1, "two small files that fit into a single block"), # Launched map tasks=2
    TestCase(2, 20, "two files each larger than a block")           # Launched map tasks=4
]

Test: Map Output Materialized Bytes

Description

Test to determine the number number of spill files and map output materialized bytes based on map inputs, map output buffer size, and map sort spill percent assuming a single mapper, 1 or more reducers, and that no combiners are run.

See hadoop_mr_tests/map_output_materialized_bytes/run_test.py for more information and results.

Hadoop uses zero compressed Long and Int values which affect how much data can be fit into buffers and affects file sizes. We have re-written their implementation of this compression in hadoop_mr_tests/zero_compress.py and use it to estimate the number of bytes a Long or Int will use whenever they are compressed. If you run ./zero_compress.py, it will also print some examples of how this works. The following is its output:

The leftmost column is a signed number in decimal. The next column to the right represents the binary representation of that number after it has been compressed. For example, 1 as a Long could use 8 bytes, however with their compression, 1 uses a single byte. Note that, 9223372036854775808 uses 9 bytes, which is 1 byte more than what it would use as a normal 8 byte Long (this is a tradeoff they made).

Running the Test

  1. Navigate to hadoop_mr_tests.
  2. Run ./build_and_run_test.sh map_output_materialized_bytes.
  • This may take a few minutes to complete.
  1. Visually inspect output.

Test: Map Merge Parts

Description

Test to determine how a map task merges its spill files. In order to observe what happens during this process, this test runs only a single mapper and reducer. The map task's sort buffer size is fixed at 1 MB, and the its spill percent is set at 50% which will cause the map task to begin spilling its buffer when its capacity reaches about 0.5 MB. Additionally, the sort factor (the maximum number of streams to merge at once) is set at 3. Each test case changes the number of spill files generated by the map task so that the merge behavior can be observed through the logs.

Running the Test

  1. Navigate to hadoop_mr_tests.
  2. Run ./build_and_run_test.sh map_merge_parts.
  • This may take a few minutes to complete.
  1. Visually inspect output.
  • Colored in blue are logs regarding the creation of spill files. This should match the number we have set for the test.
  • Colored in purple are logs regarding the merging of spill files. In all the test cases, there will first be logs regarding the merge being run by the map task. Following that are logs regarding the merge being run by the reduce task (which should always show that only a single file is being merged).

The output from this test will resemble the following if test=T2 on line 105 of /hadoop_mr_tests/map_merge_parts/run_test.py:

Result

Map side merges will always run once once the mapper has gone through all of its input. The merge will generate a single, partitioned, sorted output file. At each pass of the merge, at most "mapreduce.task.io.sort.factor" spill files are merged into a single intermediate spill file. The logs (as shown above) show, at each pass, how many files are being merged into one. Additionally, without running the test, we can calculate this by using /hadoop_mr_tests/map_merge_parts/pass_factor.py. For example, given that "mapreduce.task.io.sort.factor" is set at 5, and that a mapper produces 23 output files, we expect the following merge behavior:

simulate_merges_using_variable_pass_factor(5, 23)
pass: 1, current_num_segments: 23, pass_factor: 3, remaining_num_segments: 21
pass: 2, current_num_segments: 21, pass_factor: 5, remaining_num_segments: 17
pass: 3, current_num_segments: 17, pass_factor: 5, remaining_num_segments: 13
pass: 4, current_num_segments: 13, pass_factor: 5, remaining_num_segments: 9
pass: 5, current_num_segments: 9, pass_factor: 5, remaining_num_segments: 5
pass: 6, current_num_segments: 5, pass_factor: 5, remaining_num_segments: 1

The merge algorithm uses a priority queue of InputBuffers at each pass, therefore setting "mapreduce.task.io.sort.factor" gives the user a way to bound the size of priority queue, which puts a bound on the cost of maintaining the priority queue.

Test: Reduce Merge Parts

Description

This test looks at how a reduce task perform's the merging of map output files it receives. In this test, the number of map output files and the size of those files that a single reducer receives is varied so that the behavior of the merge by the reduce task can be observed from its logs.

The following properties are fixed throughout this test:

MAPREDUCE_PROPERTIES = {
    "mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb": 1024, # memory allotted for reduce task container
    "mapreduce.reduce.java.opts": "-Xmx100m", # reduce jvm process heap size
    "mapreduce.reduce.shuffle.parallelcopies": 5,
    "mapreduce.task.io.sort.factor": 3,
    "mapreduce.reduce.shuffle.input.buffer.percent": 0.1,
    "mapreduce.reduce.shuffle.memory.limit.percent": 0.2,
    "mapreduce.reduce.shuffle.merge.percent" : 0.5,
    "mapreduce.reduce.merge.inmem.threshold": 1000,
    "mapreduce.reduce.input.buffer.percent": 0.5
}

This means that reduce tasks are configured as follows:

allocated memory: 1024 MB
jvm heap size: 100 MB (a little less in practice as Runtime.getRuntime.maxMemory() returns 93323264 bytes)
input buffer size: (93323264 * 0.1) = 9332326.4 bytes or about 9.3 MB
merge threshold: (9.3 MB * 0.5) = 4666163.2 bytes or about 4.6 MB
max single shuffle limit: 1866465.28 bytes or about 1.9 MB
reduce function input buffer: (9.3 MB * 0.5) = 4666163.2 bytes or about 4.6 MB

When a reduce task is started, but before it has completed merging all map output files assigned to it, it creates a number of child threads. First, it creates two threads responsible for merging files: the InMemoryMerger and the OnDiskMerger. Then, the main thread will create a number of Fetcher threads that will copy output files from map tasks. /hadoop_mr_tests/reduce_merge_parts/reduce_merging_trace.svg illustrates the stack trace of ReduceTask.run().

Running the Test

  1. Navigate to hadoop_mr_tests.
  2. Run ./build_and_run_test.sh reduce_merge_parts.
  • This may take a few minutes to complete.
  • set the variable test (in run_test.py) to any of the 9 tests or create your own
  1. Visually inspect output.
  2. Navigate to /hadoop_mr_tests/reduce_merge_parts
  3. Run ./get_strace_output.sh to get strace output from whenever a merge is run. This script will copy strace output files from the container to the host machine and print out the name of the file that contains output specifically from the thread that called the merge. To make modifications to the strace call, see /hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/ReduceTask.java line 392.

Results

Results will vary by test. Several key test results have been added as comments in the /hadoop_mr_tests/reduce_merge_parts/run_test.py script itself.

Creating Your Own Test

You may want to create your own test to observe some aspect of a MR execution that has not yet been covered in the above tests. This involves writing a script to run the test, and possibly modifying the hadoop source code.

Note that these tests are limited in that hadoop is run in pseudo distributed mode where we have multiple jvm processes running on a single host (the container). Multiple mappers and reducers may be started, however they are still running on the same host and therefore these tests do not simulate a hadoop cluster. Additionally, there is no HDFS file replication (typically a factor of 3) since everything is running in a single host (Adding HDFS replication would be pointless here).

Writing A Test

  1. Create a directory in /hadoop_mr_tests/<name_of_your_test>
  2. In /hadoop_mr_tests/<name_of_your_test>, create a run_test.py
    • for reference, take a look at the tests that currently exist
    • this file should look something like the following:
    #!/usr/bin/env python3
    import subprocess
    import time
    import util
    
    if __name__=="__main__":
      # mapreduce properties that will be submitted along with the word count job
      MAPREDUCE_PROPERTIES = {
        "property_name": "value", ...
      }
    
      # starts up an environment to run hadoop in pseudo distributed mode, that
      # is a single node with separate jvm processes
      util.hadoop_start_up()
    
      # generate input file(s) that will serve as input to the word count job
      # and add them to hdfs
      util.hdfs_generate_custom_word_files(<list of lists of words>)
    
      # submit the word count job, a long with specific mapreduce properties
      util.execute_command(("/usr/local/hadoop/bin/hadoop jar "
                              "/usr/local/hadoop/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples-3.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar "
                              "wordcount {} input output").format(" ".join(["-D {}={}".format(property, value) for property, value in MAPREDUCE_PROPERTIES.items()])),
                                  stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
    
    # this sleep needs to be here because moving to the next statement too fast
    # causes some errors...                              
    time.sleep(5)
    
    # write logs to file;
    # this function obtains the aggregated logs from all the processes created
    # during the most recent job (the one we just ran above), and writes them
    # to a file; note that they may be chronologically out of order
    LOG_FILE_PATH = util.yarn_write_logs_to_file(util.yarn_get_application_id())
    
    logs = []
    
    with open(LOG_FILE_PATH, 'r') as file:
        for line in file:
          logs.append(line)
    
    util.hadoop_tear_down()
    
    # loop through "logs" and pull out ones that are relevant to your test
  3. In '/hadoop_mr_tests/<name_of_your_test>' create a 'Dockerfile'
    • for reference, take a look a the tests that currently exist
    • this file should look something like the following
    FROM wrenchproject/understanding-hadoop:test-util
    
    USER root
    
    COPY run_test.py /home/hadoop/run_test.py
    RUN chmod u+x /home/hadoop/run_test.p
    
    ENTRYPOINT ["/etc/entrypoint.sh"]
    CMD ["python3", "run_test.py"]
    
  4. To run your test, navigate to '/hadoop_mr_tests' and run './build_and_run_test.sh <name_of_your_test>'
    • this will build the docker image containing your test and run it

Modifying the Hadoop Source Code

In some cases, you may want to edit the hadoop source code to see how it affects the MR word count execution or to add new logs. If you edit the source code, you need to recompile it, and rebuild the docker image. To recompile the code:

  1. Navigate to ./hadoop_pseudodistributed_mode_container/hadoop
  2. Run ./start-build-env.sh, which will place you in a Docker container with all the dependencies needed to compile Hadoop
  3. Run (inside this container) the ./compile_source.sh script (which builds Hadoop)
  4. After that has completed, exit the container by typing exit.
  5. In ./hadoop_pseudodistributed_mode_container/hadoop, run ./build_and_push_hadoop_image.sh.
