Input Split always 2 in hadoop cluster HDinsight - hadoop

I deployed a 5 node hadoop MR cluster in Azure. I am using a bash script to perform chaining. I am using Hadoop streaming API, as my implementation is in Python.
My input data is always in one file but the size of the file ranges from 1 mb to 2 gb.
I want to create multiple mappers to handle this. I tried running using this command:
yarn jar /usr/hdp/current/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-streaming.jar -D mapred.max.split.size=5000000 -files map2.py,red2.py -mapper map2.py -reducer red2.py -input wasb:///example/${ipfileA} -output wasb:///example/${opfile}
Here I have set my maximum split size to be 5mb.
I also tried to set my maximum block size to 5 mb.
However, when I run this, the number of input splits is always 2
mapreduce.JobSubmitter: number of splits:2
And number of map tasks launched are also always 2.
I want the number of map tasks to be dynamically set based on the size of the data. What should I do?

How to find the datanode where a particular file is stored and read from while running an MR Job?

I have 9 files each of size equal to BlockLength of the cluster , stored in hadoop .
I need to get the addresses of the datanodes where the files are present . The replication factor is 3 .
Is there any hadoop API to do this or any other possible way ?
The command to find the blocks and data node of a file is as given below
hadoop fsck /user/tom/part-00007 -files -blocks -racks
This displays the following result
/user/tom/part-00007 25582428 bytes, 1 block(s): OK
0. blk_-3724870485760122836_1035 len=25582428 repl=3 [/default-rack/10.251.43.2:50010,
/default-rack/10.251.27.178:50010, /default-rack/10.251.123.163:50010]
This specifies the datanodes where replicas are placed.
To use the java code, you can use the following class
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.tools.DFSck
Using this method
doWork(final String[] args)
This will create a URI internally and print all the details using System.out.

For MapReduce bechmarks, when I finish running them, am I able to know what input/shuffle/output data size are, respectively?

I read some papers about analyzing workloads input/shuffle/output data size. So I have questions that after I finish running TestDFSIO, Teragen, Terasort, Teravalidate, and Wordcount benchmarks, can I know what input/shuffle/output data size are, respectively?
For example, if I run:
TestDFSIO,
hadoop jar hadoop-test.jar TestDFSIO -write -nrFiles 10 -fileSize 1000
hadoop jar hadoop-test.jar TestDFSIO -read -nrFiles 10 -fileSize 1000
Terasort,
hadoop jar hadoop-examples.jar teragen 10000000000 output dir
hadoop jar hadoop-examples.jar terasort input dir output dir
hadoop jar hadoop-examples.jar teravalidate terasort output dir (= input data) teravalidate output dir
What are the input/shuffle/output data size for each benchmark?
Thank you!
Yes, you can . However, since your question is too broad, I will give you examples for TestDFSIO only, which is designed to measure HDFS data transfer performance. TestDFSIO support following arguments : -read | -write | -clean [-nrFiles N] [-fileSize MB] [-resFile resultFileName] [-bufferSize Bytes] . Now, before benchmarking read operation , you have to write something which you do with something like hadoop jar hadoop-test-1.2.1.jar TestDFSIO -read -nrFiles 10 -fileSize 100. Here fileSize is your input size for 1 file and multiplying with nrFiles100*10 mb = 1000mb on hdfs. you can find the exact size of output file under /benchmarks/TestDFSIO/io_data directory. You will some other directories also - io_control (contains file name that was read or written and filesize). About shuffle - its an intermediate operation. So , to know about it just look the console outputs the time mapreduce was running or you can go do jobtracker's UI to see it. And, input for write operation is generated by TestDFSIO class. Its just some bytes calculated by mod operation based on buffersize. You also get a log file generated which contains IO and throughput stats. Hope this clarifies some of the stuff and gives you a headstart. There are lots of benchmarks which you can explore further.

mapreduce program not producing the requied output in distributed mode

I need some help in my map-reduce code.
The code run's perfectly in eclipse and in standalone mode, but when i package the code and try running it locally on pseudo distributed mode, the output is not as i expect.
Map input records = 11
Map input records = 11
Reduce input records = 11
Reduce output records = 0
These are the values i get.
where as when i run the same code in eclipse or in standalone mode with same config & input file
Map input records = 11
Map output records = 11
Reduce input records = 11
Reduce output records = 4
Can any one tell me whats wrong..??
i tried both the ways of building .jar file for eclipse -> export -> runable jar and form terminal as well(javac -classpath hadoop-core-1.0.4 -d classes mapredcode.java && jar -cvf mapredcode.jar -C classes/ .)
and how do i debug this..
Are you using a combiner() method?
And if yes. then is the o/p of combiner the same as that of the mapper?
Because in Hadoop, Combiner is run at the disposal of Hadoop itself and may not be running in the pseudo-disrtibuted mode in your case.
The combiner in itself is nothing but a reducer that is used to lower the network traffic.
And the code should be such that even if a Combiner is not running, the reducer should get the expected format from the mapper.
Hope it helps.

Hadoop streaming with single mapper

I am using Hadoop streaming, I start the script as following:
../hadoop/bin/hadoop jar ../hadoop/contrib/streaming/hadoop-streaming-1.0.4.jar \
-mapper ../tests/mapper.php \
-reducer ../tests/reducer.php \
-input data \
-output out
"data" is 2.5 GB txt file.
however in ps axf I can see only one mapper. i tried with -Dmapred.map.tasks=10, but result is the same - single mapper.
how can I make hadoop split my input file and start several mapper processes?
To elaborate on my comments - If your file isn't in HDFS, and you're running with local runner then the file itself will only be processed by a single mapper.
A large file is typically processed by several mappers due to the fact that it is stored in HDFS as several blocks.
A 2.5 GB file, with a block size of 512M will be split into ~5 blocks in HDFS. If the file is splittable (plain text, or using a splittable compression codec such as snappy, but not gzip), then hadoop will launch a mapper per block to process the file.
Hope this helps explain what you're seeing

Setting the number of map tasks and reduce tasks

I am currently running a job I fixed the number of map task to 20 but and getting a higher number. I also set the reduce task to zero but I am still getting a number other than zero. The total time for the MapReduce job to complete is also not display. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.

[hcrc1425n30]s0907855:
The number of map tasks for a given job is driven by the number of input splits and not by the mapred.map.tasks parameter. For each input split a map task is spawned. So, over the lifetime of a mapreduce job the number of map tasks is equal to the number of input splits. mapred.map.tasks is just a hint to the InputFormat for the number of maps.
In your example Hadoop has determined there are 24 input splits and will spawn 24 map tasks in total. But, you can control how many map tasks can be executed in parallel by each of the task tracker.
Also, removing a space after -D might solve the problem for reduce.
For more information on the number of map and reduce tasks, please look at the below url
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HADOOP2/HowManyMapsAndReduces
As Praveen mentions above, when using the basic FileInputFormat classes is just the number of input splits that constitute the data. The number of reducers is controlled by mapred.reduce.tasks specified in the way you have it: -D mapred.reduce.tasks=10 would specify 10 reducers. Note that the space after -D is required; if you omit the space, the configuration property is passed along to the relevant JVM, not to Hadoop.
Are you specifying 0 because there is no reduce work to do? In that case, if you're having trouble with the run-time parameter, you can also set the value directly in code. Given a JobConf instance job, call
job.setNumReduceTasks(0);
inside, say, your implementation of Tool.run. That should produce output directly from the mappers. If your job actually produces no output whatsoever (because you're using the framework just for side-effects like network calls or image processing, or if the results are entirely accounted for in Counter values), you can disable output by also calling
job.setOutputFormat(NullOutputFormat.class);
It's important to keep in mind that the MapReduce framework in Hadoop allows us only to
suggest the number of Map tasks for a job
which like Praveen pointed out above will correspond to the number of input splits for the task. Unlike it's behavior for the number of reducers (which is directly related to the number of files output by the MapReduce job) where we can
demand that it provide n reducers.
To explain it with a example:
Assume your hadoop input file size is 2 GB and you set block size as 64 MB so 32 Mappers tasks are set to run while each mapper will process 64 MB block to complete the Mapper Job of your Hadoop Job.
==> Number of mappers set to run are completely dependent on 1) File Size and 2) Block Size
Assume you have running hadoop on a cluster size of 4:
Assume you set mapred.map.tasks and mapred.reduce.tasks parameters in your conf file to the nodes as follows:
Node 1: mapred.map.tasks = 4 and mapred.reduce.tasks = 4
Node 2: mapred.map.tasks = 2 and mapred.reduce.tasks = 2
Node 3: mapred.map.tasks = 4 and mapred.reduce.tasks = 4
Node 4: mapred.map.tasks = 1 and mapred.reduce.tasks = 1
Assume you set the above paramters for 4 of your nodes in this cluster. If you notice Node 2 has set only 2 and 2 respectively because the processing resources of the Node 2 might be less e.g(2 Processors, 2 Cores) and Node 4 is even set lower to just 1 and 1 respectively might be due to processing resources on that node is 1 processor, 2 cores so can't run more than 1 mapper and 1 reducer task.
So when you run the job Node 1, Node 2, Node 3, Node 4 are configured to run a max. total of (4+2+4+1)11 mapper tasks simultaneously out of 42 mapper tasks that needs to be completed by the Job. After each Node completes its map tasks it will take the remaining mapper tasks left in 42 mapper tasks.
Now comming to reducers, as you set mapred.reduce.tasks = 0 so we only get mapper output in to 42 files(1 file for each mapper task) and no reducer output.
In the newer version of Hadoop, there are much more granular mapreduce.job.running.map.limit and mapreduce.job.running.reduce.limit which allows you to set the mapper and reducer count irrespective of hdfs file split size. This is helpful if you are under constraint to not take up large resources in the cluster.
JIRA
From your log I understood that you have 12 input files as there are 12 local maps generated. Rack Local maps are spawned for the same file if some of the blocks of that file are in some other data node. How many data nodes you have?
In your example, the -D parts are not picked up:
hadoop jar Test_Parallel_for.jar Test_Parallel_for Matrix/test4.txt Result 3 \ -D mapred.map.tasks = 20 \ -D mapred.reduce.tasks =0
They should come after the classname part like this:
hadoop jar Test_Parallel_for.jar Test_Parallel_for -Dmapred.map.tasks=20 -Dmapred.reduce.tasks=0 Matrix/test4.txt Result 3
A space after -D is allowed though.
Also note that changing the number of mappers is probably a bad idea as other people have mentioned here.
Number of map tasks is directly defined by number of chunks your input is splitted. The size of data chunk (i.e. HDFS block size) is controllable and can be set for an individual file, set of files, directory(-s). So, setting specific number of map tasks in a job is possible but involves setting a corresponding HDFS block size for job's input data. mapred.map.tasks can be used for that too but only if its provided value is greater than number of splits for job's input data.
Controlling number of reducers via mapred.reduce.tasks is correct. However, setting it to zero is a rather special case: the job's output is an concatenation of mappers' outputs (non-sorted). In Matt's answer one can see more ways to set the number of reducers.
One way you can increase the number of mappers is to give your input in the form of split files [you can use linux split command]. Hadoop streaming usually assigns that many mappers as there are input files[if there are a large number of files] if not it will try to split the input into equal sized parts.
Use -D property=value rather than -D property = value (eliminate
extra whitespaces). Thus -D mapred.reduce.tasks=value would work
fine.
Setting number of map tasks doesnt always reflect the value you have
set since it depends on split size and InputFormat used.
Setting the number of reduces will definitely override the number of
reduces set on cluster/client-side configuration.
I agree the number mapp task depends upon the input split but in some of the scenario i could see its little different
case-1 I created a simple mapp task only it creates 2 duplicate out put file (data ia same)
command I gave below
bin/hadoop jar contrib/streaming/hadoop-streaming-1.2.1.jar -D mapred.reduce.tasks=0 -input /home/sample.csv -output /home/sample_csv112.txt -mapper /home/amitav/workpython/readcsv.py
Case-2 So I restrcted the mapp task to 1 the out put came correctly with one output file but one reducer also lunched in the UI screen although I restricted the reducer job. The command is given below.
bin/hadoop jar contrib/streaming/hadoop-streaming-1.2.1.jar -D mapred.map.tasks=1 mapred.reduce.tasks=0 -input /home/sample.csv -output /home/sample_csv115.txt -mapper /home/amitav/workpython/readcsv.py
The first part has already been answered, "just a suggestion"
The second part has also been answered, "remove extra spaces around ="
If both these didnt work, are you sure you have implemented ToolRunner ?
Number of map task depends on File size, If you want n number of Map, divide the file size by n as follows:
conf.set("mapred.max.split.size", "41943040"); // maximum split file size in bytes
conf.set("mapred.min.split.size", "20971520"); // minimum split file size in bytes
Folks from this theory it seems we cannot run map reduce jobs in parallel.
Lets say I configured total 5 mapper jobs to run on particular node.Also I want to use this in such a way that JOB1 can use 3 mappers and JOB2 can use 2 mappers so that job can run in parallel. But above properties are ignored then how can execute jobs in parallel.
From what I understand reading above, it depends on the input files. If Input Files are 100 means - Hadoop will create 100 map tasks.
However, it depends on the Node configuration on How Many can be run at one point of time.
If a node is configured to run 10 map tasks - only 10 map tasks will run in parallel by picking 10 different input files out of the 100 available.
Map tasks will continue to fetch more files as and when it completes processing of a file.
