1. Preparation
Cluster Requirements:
Running Hadoop Services: Ensure Yarn resource manager, Namenode,
Datanodes, and other crucial services are operational within the
cluster.
Version Compatibility: Confirm your MapReduce application’s version
compatibility with the cluster’s Hadoop version.
Application Development:
Map and Reduce Functions: Write your Map and Reduce functions in
Java, Python, or another supported language. Implement the logic for
processing data in the Map phase and aggregating/combining data in
the Reduce phase.
Job Configuration: Specify the input and output paths for the data, the
number of reducers (optional), compression codecs (optional), and
other relevant settings.
2. Job Submission
Shuffle and Sort: The key-value pairs are shuffled across the cluster based
on their keys (hashing function used) and sorted within each reducer’s input
for efficient grouping.
Reduce Phase: Reduce tasks receive groups of key-value pairs with the same
key. Your Reduce function is invoked on each group of values, aggregating or
combining them to produce final output.
Job Progress Tracking: Utilize cluster web UIs, command-line tools like
mapred job - jobid <job_id> -status, or APIs to monitor the progress of Map
and Reduce tasks, resource utilization, and overall job completion.
Output Analysis: Access the output files stored in HDFS (typically) and
analyze the results based on your desired insights.
