6. Anatomy of a Hadoop Cluster
▪ Commodity servers
▪ 1 RU, 2 x 4 core CPU, 8 GB RAM, 4 x 1 TB SATA, 2 x 1 gE NIC
▪ Or: 2 RU, 2 x 8 core CPU, 32 GB RAM, 12 x 1 TB SATA
▪ Typically arranged in 2 level architecture
Commodity Hardware Cluster
▪ Inexpensive to acquire and maintain
•! Typically in 2 level architecture
–! Nodes are commodity Linux PCs
Monday, February 1, 2010 –! 40 nodes/rack

7. HDFS
▪ Pool commodity servers into a single hierarchical namespace
▪ Break files into 128 MB blocks and replicate blocks
▪ Designed for large files written once but read many times
▪ Files are append-only via a single writer
▪ Two major daemons: NameNode and DataNode
▪ NameNode manages file system metadata
▪ DataNode manages data using local filesystem
▪ HDFS manages checksumming, replication, and compression
▪ Throughput scales nearly linearly with node cluster size

14. Hadoop at Facebook
Early 2006: The First Research Scientist
▪ Source data living on horizontally partitioned MySQL tier
▪ Intensive historical analysis difficult
▪ No way to assess impact of changes to the site
▪ First try: Python scripts pull data into MySQL
▪ Second try: Python scripts pull data into Oracle
▪ ...and then we turned on impression logging

3. Easy provisioning and capacity planning with commodity nodes
4. Data access for all: engineers, business analysts, sales managers
5. Single system to manage XML/JSON, text, and relational data
6. No schemas enabled data collection without involving Data team
7. Simple, modular architecture
8. Easy to build, deploy, and monitor
9. Apache-licensed open source code granted to ASF
