In Part 1: Infrastructure Considerations in this three part revamped series on deploying clusters like a boss, we provided a general explanation for how nodes are classified, disk layout configurations and network topologies to think about when deploying your clusters. In this Part 2: Service and Role Layouts segment of the series, we take a step higher up the stack looking at the various services

Synopsis This article introduces a new Apache Hadoop feature called S3Guard. S3Guard addresses one of the major challenges with running Hadoop on Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3), eventual consistency. We outline the problem of S3’s eventual consistency, how it affects Hadoop workloads, and explain how S3Guard works. Problem Although Apache Hadoop has support for using Amazon Simple Storage Se

Analyzing US flight data on Amazon S3 with sparklyr and Apache Spark 2.0 We posted several blog posts about sparklyr (introduction, automation), which enables you to analyze big data leveraging Apache Spark seamlessly with R. sparklyr, developed by RStudio, is an R interface to Spark that allows users to use Spark as the backend for dplyr, which is the popular data manipulation package for R. If y

As many of us know, data in HDFS is stored in DataNodes, and HDFS can tolerate DataNode failures by replicating the same data to multiple DataNodes. But exactly what happens if some DataNodes’ disks are failing? This blog post explains how some of the background work is done on the DataNodes to help HDFS to manage its data across multiple DataNodes for fault tolerance. Particularly, we will explai
