What is HDFS alone without YARN Use Case, and with it? Should I use MapReduce or I can only use the spark? Also if I use spark can I put new resource management for the spark instead of the yarn in the same system? And is this the optimal solution for it, how to decide each one here? based on use case
Sorry, I don't have a specific use case!
Hadoop Distributed File System
HDFS is a Java-based file system that provides scalable and reliable data storage, and it was designed to span large clusters of commodity servers. HDFS has demonstrated production scalability of up to 200 PB of storage and a single cluster of 4500 servers, supporting close to a billion files and blocks. When that quantity and quality of enterprise data is available in HDFS, and YARN enables multiple data access applications to process it, Hadoop users can confidently answer questions that eluded previous data platforms.
HDFS is a scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed storage system that works closely with a wide variety of concurrent data access applications, coordinated by YARN. HDFS will “just work” under a variety of physical and systemic circumstances. By distributing storage and computation across many servers, the combined storage resource can grow linearly with demand while remaining economical at every amount of storage.
Take Away
HDFS is based on a master Slave Architecture with Name Node (NN) being the master and Data Nodes (DN) being the slaves.
Name Node stores only the meta Information about the files, actual data is stored in Data Node.
Both Name Node and Data Node are processes and not any super fancy Hardware.
The Data Node uses the underlying OS file System to save the data.
You need to use HDFS client to interact with HDFS. The hdfs clients always talks to Name Node for meta Info and subsequently talks to Data Nodes to read/write data. No Data IO happens through Name Node.
HDFS clients never send data to Name Node hence Name Node never becomes a bottleneck for any Data IO in the cluster
HDFS client has "short-circuit" feature enabled hence if the client is running on a Node hosting Data Node it can read the file from the Data Node making the complete read/write Local.
To even make it simple imagine HDFSclient is a web client and HDFS as whole is a web service which has predefined task to GET, PUT, COPYFROMLOCAL etc.
How is a 400 MB file Saved on HDFS with hdfs block size of 100 MB.
YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator ) "does it ring a bell 'Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle' YAHOO"
YARN is essentially a system for managing distributed applications. It consists of a central Resource manager (RM), which arbitrates all available cluster resources, and a per-node Node Manager (NM), which takes direction from the Resource manager. The Node manager is responsible for managing available resources on a single node.
Take Away
YARN is based on a master Slave Architecture with Resource Manager being the master and Node Manager being the slaves.
Resource Manager keeps the meta info about which jobs are running on which Node Manage and how much memory and CPU is consumed and hence has a holistic view of total CPU and RAM consumption of the whole cluster.
The jobs run on the Node Manager and jobs never get execute on Resource Manager. Hence RM never becomes a bottleneck for any job execution. Both RM and NM are processes and not some fancy hardware
Container is logical abstraction for CPU and RAM.
YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) is scheduling container (CPU and RAM ) over the whole cluster. Hence for end user if he needs CPU and RAM in the cluster it needs to interact with YARN
While Requesting for CPU and RAM you can specify the Host one which you need it.
To interact with YARN you need to use yarn-client which
