Amdahl's Law
Challenges in Parallel systems

●   How do we divide the work into separate tasks?
●   How do we get these tasks to our workers?
●   What if we have more tasks than workers?
●   What if our tasks need to exchange information?
●   What if workers crash? (That's no exception!)
●   How do we aggregate results?
Managing Parallel Applications

●   A synchronization mechanism is needed
    ●   To coordinate communication (like exchanging state) between workers
    ●   To manage access to shared resources like data

●   What if you don't?
    ●   Mutual Exclusion
    ●   Resource Starvation
    ●   Race Conditions

        producers-consumers, etcetera

… to a datacenter
Where to go from here

●   The search for the right level of abstraction
    ●   How do we build an architecture for a scaled environment?
    ●   From HAL to DCAL

●   Hiding parallel application management from the developer
    ●   It's hard!

●   Separating the what from the how
    ●   The developer specifies the computation
    ●   The runtime environment handles the execution




           Barosso, 2009
Ideas on scaling

●   Scale “out”, don't scale “up”
    ●   Hard upper-bound on the capacity of a single machine
    ●   No upper-bound on the amount of machines you can buy (in theory)

●   When dealing with large data...
    ●   Prefer sequential reads over random reads
        & rather not store a trillion small files, but a million big ones
         –   Disk access is slow, but throughput is reasonable!
    ●   Try to understand when a NAS / SAN architecture is really necessary
         –   It's expensive to scale!
MapReduce
An abstraction of typical large-data problems

(1) Iterate over a large number of records
(2) Extract something of interest from each
(3) Shuffle and sort intermediate results
(4) Aggregate intermediate results
(5) Generate final output

   MapReduce provides a functional abstraction of step 2 and step 4
Roots in functional programming

Map(S: array, f())
●   Apply f(s ∈ S) for all items in S


Fold(S: array, f())
●   Recursively apply f() to each item in S and the result of the previous
    operation, or nil if such an operation does not exist

MapReduce

The programmer specifies two functions:
●   map(k, v) → <k', v'>*
●   reduce(k', v'[ ]) → <k', v'>*
       All values associated with the same key are sent to the same reducer


The execution framework handles everything else

MapReduce “Hello World”: WordCount

●   Question: how can we count unique words in a given text?
    ●   Line-based input (a record is one line)
    ●   Key: position of first character in the whole document
    ●   Value: a line not including the EOL character
    ●   Input looks like:
           Key: 0,     value: “a wise old owl lived in an oak”
           Key: 31,    value: “the more he saw the less he spoke”
           Key: 63,    value: “the less he spoke the more he heard”
           Key: 99,    value: “why can't we all be like that wise old bird”
    ●   Output looks like:
           (a,1)            (an,1)       (be,1)
           (he,4)           (in,1)       (we,1)
           (all,1)          (oak,1)      (old,2)
           (owl,1)          (saw,1)      (the,4)
           (why,1)          (bird,1)     (less,2)
           (like,1)         (more,2)     (that,1)
           (wise,2)         (can't,1)    (heard,1)
           (lived,1)        (spoke,2)

MapReduce

●   reduce(k', v'[ ]) → <k', v'>*

The “execution framework” handles ? everything else ?
MapReduce execution framework

●   Handles scheduling
    ●   Assigns map and reduce tasks to workers
    ●   Handles “data-awareness”: moves processes to data
●   Handles synchronization
    ●   Gathers, sorts, and shuffles intermediate data
●   Handles errors and faults
    ●   Detects worker failures and restarts
●   Handles communication with the distributed filesystem
MapReduce

●   map (k, v) → <k', v'>*
●   reduce (k', v'[ ]) → <k', v'>*
        All values associated with the same key are sent to the same reducer


The execution framework handles everything else...
Not quite... usually, programmers also specify:
●   partition (k', number of partitions) → partition for k'
    ●   Often a simple hash of the key, e.g., hash(k') mod n
    ●   Divides up key space for parallel reduce operations
●   combine (k', v') → <k', v'>*
    ●   Mini-reducers that run in memory after the map phase
    ●   Used as optimization to reduce network traffic

Distributed File System

●   Don't move data to the workers... move workers to the data!
    ●   Store data on the local disks of nodes in the cluster
    ●   Start up the work on the node that has the data local

●   A distributed files system is the answer
    ●   GFS (Google File System) for Google's MapReduce
    ●   HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) for Hadoop
GFS: Design decisions

●   Files stored as chunks
    ●   Fixed size (64MB)
●   Reliability through replication
    ●   Each chunk replicated across 3+ chunkservers
●   Single master to coordinate access, keep metadata
    ●   Simple centralized management
●   No data caching
    ●   Little benefit due to large datasets, streaming reads
●   Simplify the API
    ●   Push some of the issues onto the client (e.g., data layout)


               HDFS = GFS clone (same basic ideas)

                         Jimmy Lin, Adapted from (Ghemawat, SOSP 2003)
From GFS to HDFS

●   Terminology differences:
    ●   GFS Master = Hadoop NameNode
    ●   GFS Chunkservers = Hadoop DataNode
    ●   Chunk = Block
●   Functional differences
    ●   File appends in HDFS is relatively new
    ●   HDFS performance is (likely) slower
    ●   Blocksize is configurable by the client




                      We use Hadoop terminology

Namenode Responsibilities

●   Managing the file system namespace:
    ●   Holds file/directory structure, metadata, file-to-block mapping, access
        permissions, etcetera
●   Coordinating file operations
    ●   Directs clients to DataNodes for reads and writes
    ●   No data is moved through the NameNode
●   Maintaining overall health:

    ●   Block re-replication and rebalancing
    ●   Garbage collection

  • 33.
    MapReduce execution framework ● Handles scheduling ● Assigns map and reduce tasks to workers ● Handles “data-awareness”: moves processes to data ● Handles synchronization ● Gathers, sorts, and shuffles intermediate data ● Handles errors and faults ● Detects worker failures and restarts ● Handles communication with the distributed filesystem

    MapReduce The programmer specifiestwo functions: ● map (k, v) → <k', v'>* ● reduce (k', v'[ ]) → <k', v'>* All values associated with the same key are sent to the same reducer The execution framework handles everything else... Not quite... usually, programmers also specify: ● partition (k', number of partitions) → partition for k' ● Often a simple hash of the key, e.g., hash(k') mod n ● Divides up key space for parallel reduce operations ● combine (k', v') → <k', v'>* ● Mini-reducers that run in memory after the map phase ● Used as optimization to reduce network traffic
