  10. Big Data & Hadoop Q. How Hadoop differs from Traditional Processing System using RDBMS? EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  11. Big Data & Hadoop Q. How Hadoop differs from Traditional Processing System using RDBMS? RDBMS Hadoop RDBMS relies on the structured data and the schema of the data is always known. Any kind of data can be stored into Hadoop i.e. Be it structured, unstructured or semi-structured. RDBMS provides limited or no processing capabilities. Hadoop allows us to process the data in distributed parallel fashion. On the contrary, Hadoop follows the schema on read policy. RDBMS is based on ‘schema on write’ where schema validation is done before loading the data. In RDBMS, reads are fast because the schema of the data is already known. The writes are fast in HDFS because no schema validation happens during HDFS write. Suitable for OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) Suitable for OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) Licensed software Hadoop is an open source framework.

  18. HDFS Q. HDFS stores data using commodity hardware which has higher chances of failures. So, How HDFS ensures the fault tolerance capability of the system? HDFS replicates the blocks and stores on different DataNodes  Default Replication Factor is set to 3  EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  19. HDFS Q. What is the problem in having lots of small files in HDFS? Provide one method to overcome this problem. EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  20. HDFS Q. What is the problem in having lots of small files in HDFS? Provide one method to overcome this problem. Solution:  Hadoop Archive  It clubs small HDFS files into a single archive Problem:  Too Many Small Files = Too Many Blocks  Too Many Blocks == Too Many Metadata  Managing this huge number of metadata is difficult  Increase in cost of seek HDFS Files (small) .HAR file > hadoop archive –archiveName edureka_archive.har /input/location /output/location EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  21. HDFS Q. Suppose there is file of size 514 MB stored in HDFS (Hadoop 2.x) using default block size configuration and default replication factor.

  22. HDFS Q. Suppose there is file of size 514 MB stored in HDFS (Hadoop 2.x) using default block size configuration and default replication factor. Then, how many blocks will be created in total and what will be the size of each block? Default Block Size = 128 MB 514 MB / 128 MB = 4.05 == 5 Blocks Replication Factor = 3 Total Blocks = 5 * 3 = 15 Total size = 514 * 3 = 1542 MB      EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  25. HDFS Q. What is a block scanner in HDFS? EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  26. HDFS Q. What is a block scanner in HDFS? Note: This question is generally asked for the position Hadoop Admin Block scanner maintains integrity of the data blocks  It runs periodically on every DataNode to verify whether the data blocks stored are correct or not  Steps: 1. DataNode reports to NameNode 2. NameNode schedules the creation of new replicas using the good replicas 3. Once replication factor (uncorrupted replicas) reaches to the required level, deletion of corrupted blocks takes place EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  27. HDFS Q. Can multiple clients write into an HDFS file concurrently? EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  28. HDFS Q. Can multiple clients write into an HDFS file concurrently? HDFS follows Single Writer Multiple Reader Model  Write Read The client which opens a file for writing is granted a lease by the NameNode  NameNode rejects write request of other clients for the file which is currently being written by someone else  HDFS EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  29. HDFS Q. What do you mean by the High Availability of a NameNode? How is it achieved? EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  30. HDFS Q. What do you mean by the High Availability of a NameNode? How is it achieved? NameNode used to be Single Point of Failure in Hadoop 1.x  High Availability refers to the condition where a NameNode must remain active throughout the cluster  HDFS HA Architecture in Hadoop 2.x allows us to have two NameNode configuration.  in an Active/Passive EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  40. MapReduce Q. Why the output of map tasks are stored ( spilled ) into local disc and not in HDFS? EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  41. MapReduce Q. Why the output of map tasks are stored ( spilled ) into local disc and not in HDFS? Reducer Mapper The outputs of map task are the intermediate key-value pairs which is then processed by reducer  Intermediate output is not required after completion of job  Local Disc NodeManager Storing these intermediate output into HDFS and replicating it will create unnecessary overhead.  output HDFS EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  42. MapReduce Q. Define Speculative Execution EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  43. MapReduce Q. Define Speculative Execution slow If a task is detected to be running slower, an equivalent  task MRTask (slow) task is launched so as to maintain the critical path of the progress job Node Manager Scheduler tracks the progress of all the tasks (map and  Scheduler reduce) and launches speculative duplicates for slower tasks MRTask (duplicate) After completion of a task, all running duplicates task are  launch killed speculative Node Manager EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  44. MapReduce Q. How will you prevent a file from splitting in case you want the whole file to be processed by the same mapper? EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop

  45. MapReduce Q. How will you prevent a file from splitting in case you want the whole file to be processed by the same mapper? Method 1: Increase the minimum split size to be larger than the largest file inside the driver section i. conf.set ("mapred.min.split.size", “size_larger_than_file_size"); ii. Input Split Computation Formula - max ( minimumSize, min ( maximumSize, blockSize ) ) Method 2: Modify the InputFormat class that you want to use: i. Subclass the concrete subclass of FileInputFormat and override the isSplitable() method to return false as shown below: public class NonSplittableTextInputFormat extends TextInputFormat { @Override protected boolean isSplitable (JobContext context, Path file) { return false; } } EDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoop
