Ambari scaling memory for all services - hadoop

Initially I had two machines to setup hadoop, spark, hbase, kafka, zookeeper, MR2. Each of those machines had 16GB of RAM. I used Apache Ambari to setup the two machines with the above mentioned services.
Now I have upgraded the RAM of each of those machines to 128GB.
How can I now tell Ambari to scale up all its services to make use of the additional memory?
Do I need to understand how the memory is configured for each of these services?
Is this part covered in Ambari documentation somewhere?

Ambari calculates recommended settings for memory usage of each service at install time. So a change in memory post install will not scale up. You would have to edit these settings manually for each service. In order to do that yes you would need an understanding of how memory should be configured for each service. I don't know of any Ambari documentation that recommends memory configuration values for each service. I would suggest one of the following routes:
1) Take a look at each services documentation (YARN, Oozie, Spark, etc.) and take a look at what they recommend for memory related parameter configurations.
2) Take a look at the Ambari code that calculates recommended values for these memory parameters and use those equations to come up with new values that account for your increased memory.

I used this https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.4.0/bk_installing_manually_book/content/determine-hdp-memory-config.html
Also, Smartsense is must http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/SS1/SmartSense-1.2.0/index.html
We need to define cores, memory, Disks and if we use Hbase or not then script will provide the memory settings for yarn and mapreduce.
root#ttsv-lab-vmdb-01 scripts]# python yarn-utils.py -c 8 -m 128 -d 3 -k True
Using cores=8 memory=128GB disks=3 hbase=True
Profile: cores=8 memory=81920MB reserved=48GB usableMem=80GB disks=3
Num Container=6
Container Ram=13312MB
Used Ram=78GB
Unused Ram=48GB
yarn.scheduler.minimum-allocation-mb=13312
yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-mb=79872
yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb=79872
mapreduce.map.memory.mb=13312
mapreduce.map.java.opts=-Xmx10649m
mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb=13312
mapreduce.reduce.java.opts=-Xmx10649m
yarn.app.mapreduce.am.resource.mb=13312
yarn.app.mapreduce.am.command-opts=-Xmx10649m
mapreduce.task.io.sort.mb=5324
Apart from this, we have formulas there to do calculate it manually. I tried with this settings and it was working for me.

tracking memory usage or consumption for apache spark 2.0.2

I m beginner in apache spark and have installed a prebuilt distribution of apache spark with hadoop. I look to get the consumption or the usage of memory while running the example PageRank implemented within spark. I have my cluster standalone mode with 1 maser and 4 workers (Virtual machines)
I have tried external tools like ganglia and graphite but they give the memory usage at resource or system level (more general) but what i need exactly is "to track the behavior of the memory (Storage, execution) while running the algorithm does it means, memory usage for a spark application-ID ". Is there anyway to get it into text-file for further exploitation? Please help me on this, Thanks

Limiting Hue resources with Static pools cgroup

I understood you can limit Hadoop services via cgroups in Static Service pools. I would like to limit the Hue service, because sometimes, it eats up all the memory we have on the Edge node and hurts our loading processes.
However I wasnt able to find Hue in the static service pool configuration - it only gives me options - HDFS, Impala, YARN, Hbase.
Can the Hue setting be done here, or I would need to do it somewhere else?
Thank you.
In this case, you can try to set cgroup memory soft limit in Cloudera Manager Hue configuration page, but I do not believe it will help much. It is a known issue in Hue due to Python memory fragmentation. There are a few common operations in Hue that might trigger it, such as download large query result set (more than 10M) or use HDFS file browser to browse an HDFS directory with a large number of files(1000+). Ask your users to refrain from doing these operations.
If this memory problem keeps happening, you can use the script at https://github.com/cloudera/hue/blob/master/tools/ops/hue_mem_cron.sh to setup a cron job. The script monitors the Hue process memory usage and kill it if it uses too much. You need to configure Cloudera Manager to restart Hue automatically.
Of course, killing the Hue is not an ideal solution. What you can do is to setup Hue HA with a load balancer in front of multiple Hue instances to alleviate the problem. You can follow documentation https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/latest/topics/cdh_hag_hue_config.html to set it up
You can activate cgroup memory options (Cgroup Memory Soft Limit, Cgroup Memory Hard Limit) as you want.

Why is the Hadoop job slower in cloud (with multi-node clustering) than on normal pc?

I am using cloud Dataproc as a cloud service for my research. Running Hadoop and spark job on this platform(cloud) is a bit slower than that of running the same job on a lower capacity virtual machine. I am running my Hadoop job on 3-node cluster(each with 7.5gb RAM and 50GB disk) on the cloud which took 4min49sec, while the same job took 3min20sec on the single node virtual machine(my pc) having 3gb RAM and 27GB disk. Why is the result slower in the cloud with multi-node clustering than on normal pc?
First of all:
not easy to answer without knowing the complete configuration and the type of job your running.
possible reasons are:
missconfiguration
http://HOSTNAME:8080
open ressourcemanager webapp and compare available vcores and memory
job type
Job adds more overhead when running parallelized so that it is slower
hardware
Selected virtual Hardware is slower than the local one. Thourgh low disk io and network overhead
I would say it is something like 1. and 2.
For more detailed answer let me know:
size and type of the job and how you run it.
hadoop configuration
cloud architecture
br
to be a bit more detailed here the numbers/facts which are interesting to find out the reason for the "slower" cloud environment:
job type &size:
size of data 1mb or 1TB
xml , parquet ....
what kind of process (e.g wordcount, format change, ml,....)
and of course the options (executors and drivers ) for your spark-submit or spark-shell
Hadoop Configuration:
do you use a distribution (hortonworks or cloudera?)
spark standalone or in yarn mode
how are nodemangers configured

How to allocate physical resources for a big data cluster?

I have three servers and I want to deploy Spark Standalone Cluster or Spark on Yarn Cluster on that servers.
Now I have some questions about how to allocate physical resources for a big data cluster. For example, i want to know whether i can deploy Spark Master Process and Spark Worker Process on the same node. Why?
Server Details:
CPU Cores: 24
Memory: 128GB
I need your help. Thanks.
Of course you can, just put host with Master in slaves. On my test server I have such configuration, master machine is also worker node and there is one worker-only node. Everything is ok
However be aware, that is worker will fail and cause major problem (i.e. system restart), then you will have problem, because also master will be afected.
Edit:
Some more info after question edit :) If you are using YARN (as suggested), you can use Dynamic Resource Allocation. Here are some slides about it and here article from MapR. It a very long topic how to configure memory properly for given case, I think that these resources will give you much knowledge about it
BTW. If you have already intalled Hadoop Cluster, maybe try YARN mode ;) But it's out of topic of question

Did hortan sandbox can use as a single node Hadoop cluster

I like to study about Hadoop multinode setup and installation, by referring the above tutorial I understand that single node cluster environment can be used as node for the multinode cluster
http://bigdatahandler.com/hadoop-hdfs/hadoop-multi-node-cluster-setup/
Currently I am learning Hadoop using Horton sandbox, can we use a sandbox system as a single node environment?
If not what is the difference between sandbox and traditional Hadoop cluster installation
The sandbox images (from Hortonworks and Cloudera) provide the user with a pre-configured development environment with all the usual tools already available and installed (pig, hive etc.). Since the image is a single "system" it is set-up such that the hadoop cluster is single-node: i.e. everything - HDFS, Hadoop map-reduce etc. - is local to that image. That is a massive benefit, as anyone who has set up a hadoop cluster will tell you! It allows you to get up-and-running with very little operational overhead.
What these sandboxes do not provide, however, is realistic cluster behaviour as you have only one node. But there other possibilities - tools such as Vagrant and Docker - that would allow you to do this (I have not tried it myself).
The big data handler link you shared seems to be about combining several of these standalone, inherently single-node "clusters" so that you have something more realistic. But I would guess setting this up so that YARN, Zookeeper and other services are not duplicated comes with a not insignificant challenge.
