Abstract
Analysis of structured data has seen tremendous success in the past. However, analysis of
large-scale structured data in the form of videos format remains a challenging area.
YouTube, a Google company, has over a billion users and generates billions of views. Since
YouTube data is getting created in a very large amount and with an equally great speed,
there is a huge demand to store, process and carefully study this large amount of data to
make it usable
The main objective of this project is to demonstrate by using Hadoop concepts,
how data generated from YouTube can be mined and utilized to make targeted, real time and
informed decisions.
The project utilizes the YouTube Data API (Application Programming Interface)
that allows the applications/websites to incorporate functions that are used by YouTube
application to fetch and view information. The Google Developers Console is used to
generate a unique access key which is further required to fetch YouTube public channel
data. Once the API key is generated, A Net base console application is designed to use the
YouTube API for fetching video information based on a search criteria. The text file
output generated from the console application is then loaded from HDFS (Hadoop
Distributed File System) file into HIVE database. Hive uses a SQL-like interface to query
data stored in various databases and file systems that integrate with Hadoop. HDFS (Hadoop
Distributed File System) is a primary Hadoop application and a user can directly interact
with HDFS using various shell-like commands supported by Hadoop. This project uses SQL
like queries that are later run on Big Data using HIVE to extract the meaningful output
which can be used by the management for analysis.
Hadoop is an ecosystem of open source components that fundamentally changes the
way enterprises store, process, and analyze data. Unlike the additional system, Hadoop enables
multiple types of analytic workloads to run on the same data, at there same time at massive
scale on industry-standard hardware. Cloudera’s open source platform, is the most popular
distribution of Hadoop and related projects in the word (with support available via a cloudera
Enterprise subscription)

INTRODUCTION
A Internet companies like Google, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay and a rapidly growing
internet savvy population, today's advanced systems and enterprises are generating data in a
very large volume with great velocity and in a multi-structured formats including videos,
images, sensor data, weblogs etc. from different sources. This has given birth to a new type
of data called Big Data which is unstructured sometime semi structured and also
unpredictable in nature. This data is mostly generated in real time from social media websites
which is increasing exponentially on a daily basis.
“Big Data is a term for data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data
processing applications are inadequate to deal with them. Analysis of data sets can find new
correlations to spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on. A millions of
people using Twitter to tweet about their most recent brand experience or hundreds of
thousands of check-ins on Yelp, thousands of people talking about a recently released movie
on Face book and millions of views on YouTube for a recently released movie trailer, we are
at a stage wherein we are heading into a social media data explosion. Companies are already
facing challenges getting useful information from the transactional data from their customers
(for e.g. data captured by the companies when a customer opens a new account or sign up for
a credit card or a service). This type of data is structural in nature and still manageable.
However, social media data is primarily unstructured in nature. The very unstructured nature
of the data makes it very hard to analyze and very interesting at the same time
Whereas RDBMS is designed to handle structured data and that to only certain limit,
RDBMS fails to handle this kind of unstructured and huge amount of data called Big Data.
This inability of RDBMS has given birth to new database management system called NoSQL
management system.
Some of the key concepts used in Big Data Analysis are
1. Data Mining: Data mining is incorporation of quantitative methods. Using powerful
mathematical techniques applied to analyze data and how to process that data. It is used to
extract data and find actionable information which is used to increase productivity and
efficiency.

2. Data Warehousing: A data warehouse is a database as the name implies. It is a kind of
central repository for collecting relevant information. It has centralized logic which reduces
the need for manual data integration.
3. MapReduce: MapReduce is a data processing paradigm for condensing large volumes
of data into useful aggregated results. Suppose we have a large volume of data for particular
users or employees etc. to handle. For that we need MapReduce function to get the aggregated
result as per the query.
4. Hadoop: Anyone holding a web application would be aware of the problem of storing
and retrieving data every minute. The adaptive solution created for the same was the use of
Hadoop including Hadoop Distributed File System or HDFS for performing operations of
storing and retrieving data. Hadoop framework has a scalable and highly accessible
architecture.
5. Hive: Hive is a data warehouse system for Hadoop that facilitates ad hoc queries and
analysis of large data sets stored in Hadoop.
6. HQL: Hive uses a SQL like language called Hive. HQL is a popular choice for Hadoop
analytics.
YouTube is one of the most popular and engaging social media tool and an amazing
platform that reveals the community feedback through comments for published videos,
number of likes, dislikes, number of subscribers for a particular channel. YouTube collects a
wide variety of traditional data points including View Counts, Likes, Votes, and Comments.
The analysis of the above listed data points constitutes a very interesting data source to mine
for obtaining implicit knowledge about users, videos, categories and community interests.
Most of the companies are uploading their product launch on YouTube and they
anxiously await their subscribers' reviews. Major production houses launch movie trailers and
people provide their first reaction and reviews about the trailers. This further creates a buzz
and excitement about the product. Hence the above listed data points become very critical for
the companies so that they can do the analysis and understand the customers' sentiments .

1. BACKGROUND OF BIG DATA
1.1 Purpose and Scope
"YouTube has over a billion users and every day people watch hundreds of millions of
hours on YouTube and generate billions of views”. "Every day, people across the world are
uploading 1.2 million videos to YouTube, or over 100 hours per minute and this number is
ever increasing . To analyze and understand the activity occurring on such a massive scale, a
relational SQL database is not enough. Such kind of data is well suited to a massively parallel
and distributed system like Hadoop. This project in data generated from YouTube can be
mined and utilized by different companies to make targeted, real time and informed
decisions about their product that can increase their market share. This can be done by using
Hadoop concepts.
The given project will data generated from YouTube can be mined and utilized.
There are multiple applications of this project. Companies can use this project to understand
how effective and penetrative their marketing programs are. In addition to the view counts,
subscribers and shares, audience retention count, companies can also evaluate views
according to date range. This can tell the companies when is the slow period or spike in
viewership and attribute the same to certain marketing campaign. Applications for YouTube
data can be endless. For example, Companies can analyze how much a product is liked by
people. This project can also help in analyzing new emerging trends and knowing about
people's changing behavior with time. Also people in different countries have different
preferences. By analyzing the comments/feedbacks/likes/view counts etc. of the videos
uploaded, companies can understand what are the likes/dislikes of people around the world
and work on their preferences accordingly.
This project uses following tools throughout its lifecycle.
1. Eclipse (java)
2. Hadoop
3. Cloudera
4. Unix (Cont OS)
5. Rstudeo
6. Bitvise ssh
7. HIVE

1.2 Overview of the Project
In this project we fetch a specific channel’s YouTube data using
YouTube API. We will use Google Developers Console and generate a unique access key
which is required to fetch YouTube public channel data. Once the API key is generated, A
Net(C#) based console application is designed to use the YouTube API for fetching videos
information based on a search criteria. The text file output generated from the console
application is then loaded from HDFS file into HIVE database. HDFS is a primary Hadoop
application and a user can directly interact with HDFS using various shell-like commands
supported by Hadoop. Then we run queries on Big Data using HIVE to extract the
meaningful output which can be used by the management for analysis.

BIG DATA AND HADOOP
2.1 Big Data
"a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to
process using the available database management tools. The challenges include how to
capture, curate, store, search, share, analyze and visualize Big Data”. In today's environment,
we have access to more types of data. These data sources include online transactions, social
networking activities, mobile device services, internet gaming
Big Data is a collection of data sets that are large and complex in nature. They
constitute both structured and unstructured data that grow large so fast that they are not
manageable by traditional relational database systems or conventional statistical tools. Big
Data is defined as any kind of data source that has at least three shared characteristics:
Extremely large Volumes of data
Extremely high Velocity of data
Extremely wide Variety of data
According to Big Data: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications, Volume I
by Information Resources Management Association (IRMA), "organizations today are at the
tipping point in terms of managing data. Data sources are ever expanding. Data from Face
book, Twitter, YouTube, Google etc., are to grow 50X in the next 10 years. Over 2.5
Exabyte’s of data is generated every day. Some of the sources of huge volume of data are:
1. A typical large stock exchange captures more than 1 TB of data every day.
2. There are over 5 billion mobile phones in the world which are producing
enormous amount of data on daily basis.
3. YouTube users upload more than 48 hours of video every minute.
4. Large social networks such as Twitter and Face book capture more than 10 TB of
data daily.
5. There are more than 30 million networked sensors in the world which further
produces TBs of data every day.

2.2 Hadoop
As organizations are getting flooded with massive amount of raw data, the
challenge here is that traditional tools are poorly equipped to deal with the scale and
complexity of such kind of data. That's where Hadoop comes in. Hadoop is well suited to
meet many Big Data challenges, especially with high volumes of data and data with a variety
of structures.
At its core, Hadoop is a framework for storing data on large clusters of commodity
hardware everyday computer hardware that is affordable and easily available and running
applications against that data. A cluster is a group of interconnected computers (known as
nodes) that can work together on the same problem. Using networks of affordable compute
resources to acquire business insight is the key value proposition of Hadoop.
6
Hadoop consists of two main components
1. A distributed processing framework named MapReduce (which is now supported by
a component called YARN(Yet Another Resource Negotiator) .
2. A distributed file system known as the Hadoop Distributed File System( HDFS). In
Hadoop you can do any kind any kind of aggregation of data whether it is one-month old
data or one-year-old data. Hadoop provides a mechanism called MapReduce model to do
distributed processing of large data which internally takes care of data even if one machine
goes down.
The old paradigm, companies would use a traditional enterprise data warehouse
system and would buy the biggest data warehouse they could afford and store the data on a
single machine. However, with the increasing amount of data, this approach is no longer
affordable nor practical. Some of the components of Hadoop ecosystem are HDFS (Hadoop
Distributed File System), MapReduce, Yarn, Hive and Hbase. Hadoop has two core
components. ‘Storage’ part to store the data and ‘Processing’ part to process the data. The
storage part is called ‘HDFS’ and the processing part is called as ‘YARN’.
The core concept of HDFS is that it can be made up of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands
of individual computers, where the system's files are stored in directly attached disk drives.
Each of these individual computers is a self-contained server with its own memory, CPU,
disk storage, and installed operating system (typically Linux, though Windows is also
supported). Technically speaking, HDFS is a user-space-level file system because it lives on
top of the file systems that are installed on all individual computers that make up the Hadoop
cluster. Figure 2 HDFS as a user-space-level file system
The above figure 2 shows that a Hadoop cluster is made up of two classes of servers:
slave nodes, where the data is stored and processed and master nodes, which govern the
management of the Hadoop cluster. On each of the master nodes and slave nodes, HDFS runs
special services and stores raw data to capture the state of the file system. In the case of the
8
slave nodes, the raw data consists of the blocks stored on the node, and with the master
nodes,the raw data consists of metadata that maps data blocks to the files stored in HDFS.
HDFS is a system that allows multiple commodity machines to store data from a single
source. HDFS consists of a Name Node and a Data Node. HDFS operates as master slave
architecture as opposed to peer to peer architecture. Name Node serves as the master
component while the Data Node serves as a slave component. Name Node comprises of only
the Meta data information of HDFS that is the blocks of data that are present on the Data
Node
. Data Nodes constitute a Name Node, capacity of the Name Node and space utilization
. The Data Node comprises of data processing, all the processing data that is stored on the
Data Node and deployed on each machine.
. The actual storage of the files being processed and serving read and write request for the
clients
Hadoop there was only one Name Node attached to the Data Node which was a single
point of failure. Hadoop version 2.x provides multiple Name Node where secondary Name
Node can take over in the event of a primary Name Node failure. Secondary Name Node is
responsible for performing periodic check points in the event of a primary Name Node
failure. You can start secondary Name Node by providing checkpoints that provide high
availability within HDFS.
HDFS creates a self-healing architecture by replicating the same data across
multiple nodes. So it can process the data in a high availability environment. For example,
if we have three DataNodes and one NameNode, the data is transferred from the client
environment into HDFS DataNode.
The replication factor defines the number of times a data block is replicated in a
clustered environment. we have a file that is split into two data blocks across three
DataNodes. If we are processing these files to a three DataNode cluster and we set the
replication factor to three. If one of the nodes fails, the data from the failed nodes is
redistributed among the remaining active nodes and the other nodes will complete the
processing function.
2.4.2 YARN :-
We take look at a data warehouse structure example where we have one machine and
9
with HDFS we can distribute the data into more than one machine. Let’s say we have 100
GB of file that takes 20 minutes to process on a machine with a given number of channel
and hard drive. If you add four machines of exactly the same configuration on a Hadoop
cluster, the processing time reduces.
10
2.4.3 Hadoop Framework :-
3.1 MapReduce
MapReduce is a set of Java classes run on YARN with the purpose of
processing massive amounts of data and reducing this data into output files. HDFS works
with MapReduce to divide the data in parallel fashion on local or parallel machines. Parallel
structure requires that the data is immutable and cannot be updated. It begins with the input
files where the data is initially stored typically residing in HDFS. These input files are then
split up into input format which selects the files, defines the input splits, breaks the file into
tasks and provides a place for record reader objects. The input format defines the list of tasks
that makes up the map phase. The tasks are then assigned to the nodes in the system based on
where the input files chunks are physically resident.
The input split describes the unit of work that comprises a single map task in a
MapReduce program. The record reader loads the data and converts it into key value pairs
that can be read by the Mapper. The Mapper performs the first phase of the MapReduce
program. Given a key and a value the mappers export key and value pairs and send these
values to the reducers. The process of moving mapped outputs to the reducers is known as
shuffling. Partitions are the inputs to reduce tasks, the practitioner determines which key and
value pair will be stored and reduced.
The set of intermediate keys are automatically stored before they are sent to the
reduce function. A reducer instance is created for each reduced task to create an output
format. The output format governs the way objects are written, the output format provided by
Hadoop writes the files to HDFS.
12
Fig 3.1 MapReduce input & output
3.2 Hive
Hive provides the ability to store large amounts of data in HDFS. Hive was designed
to appeal to a community comfortable with SQL. Hive uses an SQL like language known as
HIVEQL. Its philosophy is that we don’t need yet another scripting language. Hive supports
maps and reduced transform scripts in the language of the user’s choice which can be
embedded with SQL. Hive is widely used in Facebook, with analyst comfortable with SQL as
well as data miners programming in Python & Java.
Supporting SQL syntax also means that it is possible to integrate with existing tools
like. Hive has an ODBC (Open Database Connectivity JDBC (Java Database Connectivity)
driver that allows and facilitates easy queries. It also adds support for indexes which allows
support for queries common in such environment. Hive is a framework for performing
analytical queries. Currently Hive can be used to query data stored in HBase which is a key
value store like those found in the gods of most RDBMS’s (Relational database management
system) and the Hadoop database project uses Hive query RDBMS tier.
13
Fig 3.2 Hive Architecture
3.3 Pig
Pig comes from the language Pig Latin. Pig Latin is a procedural programming
language and fits very naturally in the pipeline paradigm. When queries become complex
with most of joins and filters then Pig is strongly recommended. Pig Latin allows pipeline
developers to decide where to checkpoint data in the pipeline. That is storing data in
between operations has the advantage of check pointing data in the pipeline. This ensures the
whole pipeline does not has to be rerun in the event of a failure. Pig Latin allows users to
store data at any point in the pipeline without disturbing the pipeline execution.
The advantage that Pig Latin provides is that pipelines developers decide where
appropriate checkpoints are in the pipeline rather than being forced to checkpoint
wherever the schematics of SQL impose it. Pig Latin supports splits in the pipeline.
Common features of data pipelines is that they are often graphics and not linear pipelines
since disk’s read and write scan time and intermediate results usually dominate
processing of large datasets reducing the number of times data must be written to and read
from disk is crucial for good performance.
14
Pig Latin allows developers to insert their own code almost anywhere in the data pipeline
which is useful for pipeline development. This is accomplished through a user defined
functions UDFS (User Defined Functions). UDFS allows user to specify how data is
loaded, how data is stored and how data is processed. Streaming allows users to include
executables at any point in the data flow. Pipeline also often includes user defined
columns transformation functions and user defined aggregations. Pig Latin supports writing
both of these types of functions in java.

After extracting the sample dataset from YouTube API ( represents the snapshot of extracted
dataset), this dataset can be fed into various Hadoop Technologies and meaningful results
can be extracted and analyzed.

YOUTUBE DATA ANALYSIS USING HADOOP
YouTube, owned by Google, is a video sharing website, where users can upload,
watch and share videos with others. YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform,
and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original content
creators and advertisers large and small.
YouTube, owned by Google, is a video sharing website, where users can upload,
watch and share videos with others. YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform,
and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original content
creators and advertisers large and small. According to Statista.com (The Statistics Portal),
"As of July 2010, more than 400 hours of video content were uploaded to YouTube every
minute, a fourfold increase compared to only two years prior. The platform, which was
created in 2005, has slowly become one of the most visited websites in the world and a
global phenomenon. In the first quarter of 2015, more than 80 percent of global internet users
had visited YouTube in the last month. In the United States, it is the second largest social
media website after Facebook, accounting for over 22 percent of social media traffic. The
rise in Smartphone and other mobile devices usage has also helped increase the consumption
of YouTube videos on the go. As of mid 2015, approximately half of U.S. mobile users
accessed YouTube via a mobile device, whether Smartphone or tablet computer."
While companies, musicians or film distributers might use YouTube as a form of
free direct advertisement, YouTube has also become a launch pad for various
products/services wherein large corporations reveal the first look of the product on YouTube,
generate a buzz about their product, assess the market demand based upon likes and view
counts and improve their product based upon customers' feedback. Hence the data points
including View Counts, Likes, Votes, and Comments etc. become very critical for the
companies so that they can do the analysis and understand the customers' sentiments about
their product/services.
The main objective of this project is to show how companies can analyze YouTube
data using YouTube API to make targeted real time and informed decisions. This project will
help in understanding changing trends among people by analyzing YouTube data and fetching
meaningful results. For example, when companies like Disney launch their new movie trailers
17
on YouTube, this application can help Disney in analyzing the reaction of people towards a
specific movie trailer. This application can analyze home many people liked the trailers, in
which country the trailer was liked the most, whether the comments posted on YouTube are
generally positive, negative or neutral etc. This way management can take executive
decisions how to spend their marketing budget in order to maximize their returns.
Since YouTube data is getting created in a very huge amount and with an equally great
speed, there is a huge demand to store, process and carefully study this large amount of data
to make it usable. Hadoop is definitely the preferred framework to analyze the data of this
magnitude.
The YouTube sample dataset collected using .NET console application (see Section 7)
has the following properties:
There is a structured format of data
It would require joins to capture country wise count statistics
The collected data set can be organized into schema
18
3. Prototyping and rapidly developing MapReduce based jobs. The data schema is not
enforced explicitly in Pig and hence it becomes difficult to map the data into
schema format. Also, the error that Pig produces is not very user friendly. It just gives
exec error even if the problem is related to syntax or type error. Pig development
may require more time than hive but is purely based on the developer’s familiarity
with the pig code.
4. Hive provides a familiar programming model. It operates on query data with a SQL-
based language. It is comparatively faster with better interactive response times, even
over huge datasets. As data variety and volume grows, more commodity machines can
be added without reducing the performance. Hence, Hive is scalable and extensible.
Hive is very compatible.
If we apply Hive to analyze the YouTube data, then we would be able to leverage the
SQL capabilities of Hive- QL as well as data can be managed in a particular schema. Also, by
using Hive, the development time can be significantly reduced. After looking at the pros and
cons, Hive becomes the obvious choice for this YouTube Data Analysis project.

4.1 Conclusion
The task of big data analysis is not only important but also a necessity. In fact
many organizations that have implemented Big Data are realizing significant competitive
advantage compared to other organizations with no Big Data efforts. The project is intended
to analyze the YouTube Big Data and come up with significant insights which cannot be
determined otherwise.
The output results of YouTube data analysis project show key insights that can
be extrapolated to other use cases as well. One of the output results describes that for a
specific video id, how many likes were received. The number of likes -- or "thumbs-up" -- a
video had has a direct significance to the YouTube video's ranking, according to YouTube
Analytics. So if a company posts its video on YouTube, then the number of YouTube likes
the company has could determine whether the company or its competitors appear more
prominently in YouTube search results.
Another output result gives us insights on if there is a pattern of affinity of interests
for certain video category. This can be done by analyzing the comments count. For e.g., if the
company falls under 'Comedy' or 'Education' category, a meaningful discussion in the form
of comments can be triggered on YouTube. A comment analysis can further be conducted to
understand the attitude of people towards the specific video.

4.2 Future Work
The future work would include extending the analysis of YouTube data using
other Big Data analysis Technologies like Pig and MapReduce and do a feature comparison
analysis. It would be interesting to see which technology fares better as compared to the other
ones. One feature that is not added in the project is to represent the output in a Graphical User
Interface (GUI).
The current project displays a very simplistic output which does not warrant a
GUI interface. However, if the output is too large and complex, the output can be interfaced
in a GUI format to display the results. The data can then be presented in different format
including pie-charts and graphs for better user experience. Another possible extension of this
project could be the YouTube Comment Analysis project.
The current scope of the project includes analyzing the statistics for a
channel/category including view counts, likes, dislikes, country wise view etc. By identifying
classifying/categorizing the polarity of the words, sentiment analysis or opinion minding can
be performed for a specific video. This would tell us writer's attitude towards a particular
product or a given subject. Using Sentiment Analysis, we can determine if the general attitude
of people is positive, negative or neutral towards a specific subject/video.
