Hadoop Useful Utility Classes

Some handy classes for using Hadoop / Map Reduce / Hbase

IDENTITYMAPPER  / IDENTITYREDUCER

org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper<KEYIN,VALUEIN,KEYOUT,VALUEOUT>
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer<KEYIN,VALUEIN,KEYOUT,VALUEOUT>

jar : hadoop-core.jar

if your mappers and reducers write inputs to outputs, then use these guys.  No need to receate them.


SHELL  / SHELLCOMMANDEXECUTOR

org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell
org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.ShellCommandExecutor

jar : hadoop-core.jar

handy for executing commands on local machine and inspect outputs

123456789101112131415161718192021222324

import org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.ShellCommandExecutor;



 



String[] cmd =    { "ls", "/usr" };



ShellCommandExecutor shell = new ShellCommandExecutor(cmd);



shell.execute();



System.out.println("* shell exit code : " + shell.getExitCode());



System.out.println("* shell output: \n" + shell.getOutput());



 



/* output:



* shell exit code : 0



* shell output: 



X11



X11R6



bin



etc



include



lib



libexec



llvm-gcc-4.2



local



sbin



share



standalone



*/

STRINGUTILS

org.apache.hadoop.util.StringUtils

jar : hadoop-core.jar

lots of functions to deal with Strings.  I will highlight a few

StringUtils.byteDesc() : User-friendly / human-readable byte lengths

how many megabytes is 10000000 bytes?   this will tell you.

123456789101112

import org.apache.hadoop.util.StringUtils;



 



// --- human readable  byte lengths -----



System.out.println ("1024 bytes = " + StringUtils.byteDesc(1024));



System.out.println ("67108864 bytes = " + StringUtils.byteDesc(67108864));



System.out.println ("1000000 bytes = " + StringUtils.byteDesc(1000000));



 



/* produces:



1024 bytes = 1 KB



67108864 bytes = 64 MB



1000000 bytes = 976.56 KB



*/

StringUtils.byteToHexString() : Convert Bytes to Hex strings and vice-versa

We deal with byte arrays in Hadoop / map reduce.  This is a handy way to print / debug issues

12345678910111213

import org.apache.hadoop.util.StringUtils;



 



// ----------------- String Utils : bytes <--> hex ---------



String s = "aj89y1_xxy";



byte[] b = s.getBytes();



String hex = StringUtils.byteToHexString(b);



byte[] b2 = StringUtils.hexStringToByte(hex);



String s2 = new String(b2);



System.out.println(s + " --> " + hex + " <-- " + s2);



 



/* output:



aj89y1_xxy --> 616a383979315f787879 <-- aj89y1_xxy



*/
StringUtils.formatTime() :  human readable elapsed time

how long is 100000000 ms?   see below

1234567891011

System.out.println ("1000000 ms = " + StringUtils.formatTime(1000000));



long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();



// execute a command



long t2 = System.currentTimeMillis();



t2 += 10000000; // adjust for this demo



System.out.println ("operation took : " + StringUtils.formatTimeDiff(t2, t1));



 



/* output:



1000000 ms = 16mins, 40sec



operation took : 2hrs, 46mins, 40sec



*/


HADOOP CLUSTER STATUS

ClusterStatus : org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ClusterStatus

jar : hadoop-core.jar

Find out how many nodes are in the cluster, how many mappers, reducers ...etc

1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041

package sujee;



 



import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;



import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configured;



import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ClusterStatus;



import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient;



import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf;



import org.apache.hadoop.util.Tool;



import org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner;



 



/*



compile into a jar and execute:



     hadoop jar a.jar sujee.TestCluster



 



output:



number of task trackers: 1



maximum map tasks : 3



currently running map tasks : 0



 



*/



 



public class TestCluster extends Configured implements Tool



{



    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception



    {



        int result = ToolRunner.run(new Configuration(), new TestCluster(), args);



        System.exit(result);



    }



 



    @Override



    public int run(String[] arg0) throws Exception



    {



        JobConf dummyJob = new JobConf(new Configuration(), TestCluster.class);



        JobClient jobClient = new JobClient(dummyJob);



        ClusterStatus clusterStatus = jobClient.getClusterStatus();



        System.out.println("number of task trackers: " + clusterStatus.getTaskTrackers());



        System.out.println("maximum map tasks : " + clusterStatus.getMaxMapTasks());



        System.out.println("currently running map tasks : " + clusterStatus.getMapTasks());



        return 0;



    }



}

Hbase Handy Classes


BYTES
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes

jar : hbase*.jar

handy utility for dealing with bytes and byte arrays

Bytes.toBytes() : convert objects to bytes

123456789101112131415161718

 // -------- Bytes.toBytes() : converting objects to bytes ------



int i = 10000;



byte [] intBytes = Bytes.toBytes(i);



System.out.println ("int " + i + " in bytes : " + Arrays.toString(intBytes));



            



float f = (float) 999.993;



byte [] floatBytes = Bytes.toBytes(f);



System.out.println ("float " + f + " in bytes : " + Arrays.toString(floatBytes));



            



String s = "foobar";



byte [] stringBytes = Bytes.toBytes(s);



System.out.println ("string " + s + " in bytes : " + Arrays.toString(stringBytes));



 



/* output:



int 10000 in bytes : [0, 0, 39, 16]



float 999.993 in bytes : [68, 121, -1, -115]



string foobar in bytes : [102, 111, 111, 98, 97, 114]



*/

Bytes.add()  : create composite keys

12345678910111213141516

// ---------- Bytes.add() : creating composite keys ---------



// rowkey = int + long



int i = 0;



long timestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();



byte [] rowkey2 = Bytes.add(Bytes.toBytes(i), Bytes.toBytes(timestamp));



System.out.println ("rowkey2 (" + rowkey2.length + ") : " + Arrays.toString(rowkey2));



 



// add also supports adding 3 byte arrays



// rowkey = int + str + long



byte[] rowkey3 = Bytes.add(Bytes.toBytes(0) , Bytes.toBytes("hello"),  Bytes.toBytes(timestamp)); 



System.out.println ("rowkey3 (" + rowkey3.length + ") : " + Arrays.toString(rowkey3));



 



/* output:



rowkey2 (12) : [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 50, 8, -101, 99, -41]



rowkey3 (17) : [0, 0, 0, 0, 104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 0, 0, 1, 50, 8, -101, 99, -41]

Common Sense Identification of the Security Problems

Organizations make key information security mistakes, which leads to inefficient and ineffective control environment. High profile data breaches and cyber-attacks drive the industry to look for more comprehensive protection measures since many organizations feel that their capability to withstand persistent targeted attacks is minimal. But at the same time, these organizations make some key information security mistakes, that jeopardize their efforts towards control robustness. Although many firms invest in security technologies and people, no one has the confidence that the measures taken are good enough to protect their data from compromises. Below are the 10 worst mistakes which are common to find, and important to address in the path of mature information security posture. If you analyze the cyber security scenarios, and organizational capabilities, the prevailing trend is a vendor-driven approach. In many cases, security professionals adopt the attitude of procuring...

Ingesting IoT Sensor Data Into S3 With an RPI3

StreamSets Data Collector Edge is a lightweight agent used to create end-to-end data flow pipelines. We'll use it help stream data collected from a sensor. Due to the increasing amount of data produced from outside source systems, enterprises are facing difficulties in reading, collecting, and ingesting data into a desired, central database system. An edge pipeline runs on an edge device with limited resources, receives data from another pipeline or reads the data from the device, and controls the device based on the data. StreamSets Data Collector (SDC) Edge, an ultra-lightweight agent, is used to create end-to-end data flow pipelines in StreamSets Data Collector and to run the pipelines to read and export data in and out of systems. In this blog, StreamSets Data Collector Edge is used to read data from an air pressure sensor (BMP180) from an IoT device (Raspberry Pi3). Meanwhile, StreamSets Data Collector is used to load the data into Amazon's Simple Storage Service ...

Real-Time Talk: Windows 10 IoT Core Background Tasks and ASP.NET Core Web Apps

Display useful information from your Windows 10 IoT Core application in an ASP.NET Core web app, essential for integrating IoT data into a solution. Windows 10 IoT background task talk with a web application using WebSockets. Problems As my path to this solution has been troublesome, I am listing here the main problems I faced so my dear readers have a better idea of dead-end streets along the way: I was not able to make the ASP.NET Core web application run under a Windows 10 IoT background service. I found no information about when or if it will be supported in the near future. ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core have different SignalR implementations. I was not able to make a SignalR client for .NET Core work with SignalR hosted on a web application. I was able to make things work by directly using a WebSocket. It’s not as nice a solution as I had in my mind, but it works until things get better. Making the Background Task and Web Application Talk I worked out sim...
