Hadoop in Yahoo
3
By the Numbers
 About 30,000 nodes in tens of clusters
›
1 Node = 4 *1 TB disk, 8 cores, 16 GB RAM as a typical configuration.
 Largest single cluster of about 4000 nodes
 4 tiers of clusters
›
Application research and development
›
Production clusters
›
Hadoop platform development and testing
›
Proof of concepts and ad-hoc work
 Over 1000 users across research, engineering, operations etc.
›
Running more than 100,000 jobs per day
 More than 3 PB of data
›
Compressed and un-replicated volume
 Currently running Hadoop 0.20
4
Advantages
 Wide applicability of the M/R computing model
›
Many problems in internet domain can be solved by data parallelism
 High throughput
›
Stream through 100 TB of data in less than 1 hour
›
Applications that took weeks earlier complete in hours
 Research prototyping, development, and production deployment
systems are (almost) identical
 Scalable, economical, fault-tolerant
 Shared resource with common infrastructure operations

Common applications on Hadoop in Yahoo!
1. Near real-time data pipelines
›
Backbone for analytics, reporting, research etc.
›
Multi-step pipelines to create data feeds from logs
• Web-servers - page content, layout and links, clicks, queries etc.
• Ad servers – ad serving opportunity data, impressions
• Clicks, beacons, conversion data servers
›
Process large volume of events
• Tens of billions events/day
• Tens of TB (compressed) data/day
›
Latencies of tens of minutes to a few hours.
›
Continuous runs of jobs working on chunks of data

1b. Joining Features and Targets
 Low target rates
›
Typical response rates are in the range of 0.01% ~ 1%
 Many users have no interest activities in the target window
 First construct the targets
 Compute the feature vector only for users with targets
›
Reduces the need for computing features for users without target actions
 Allows stratified sampling of users with different target and feature
attributes
31
2. Model Training
 Supervised models trained using a variety of techniques
 Regressions
›
Different flavors: Linear, Logistic, Poisson etc.
›
Constraints on weights
›
Different regularizations: L1 and L2
 Decision trees
›
Used for both regression and ranking problems
›
Boosted trees
 Naïve Bayes
 Support vector machines
›
Commonly used in text classification, query categorization etc.
 Online learning algorithms
32
2. Model Training
 Maximum Entropy modeling
›
Log-linear link function.
›
Classification problems in large dimensional, sparse features
 Constrained Random Fields
›
Sequence labeling and named-entity recognition problems
 Some of these algorithms are implemented in Mahout
 Not all algorithms are easy to implement in MR framework
 Train one model per node.
›
Each node can train model for one target response
33
3. Offline Scoring and Evaluation
 Apply weights from model training phase to features from Feature
generation component
 Mapper operations only
 Janino* equation editor
›
Embedded compiler can compile arbitrary scoring equations.
›
Can also embed any class invoked during scoring
›
Can modify features on the fly before scoring
 Evaluation metrics
›
Sort by scores and compute metrics in reducer
›
Precision vs. Recall curve

Challenges and Practical
Considerations
38
Current challenges
 Limited size of name-node
›
File and block meta-data in HDFS is in RAM on name-node
›
On name-node with 64Gb RAM
• ~ 100 million file blocks and 60 million files
›
Upper limit of 4000 node limit cluster
›
Adding more reducers leads to a large number of small files
 Copying data in/out of HDFS
›
Limited by read/write rates of external file systems
 High latency for small jobs
›
Overhead to set up may be large for small jobs
39
Practical considerations
 Reduce amount of data transfer from mapper to reducer
›
There is still disk write/read in going from mapper to reducer
• Mapper output = Reducer input files can become large
• Can run out of disk space for intermediate storage
›
Project a subset of relevant attributes in mapper to send to reducer
›
Use combiners
›
Compress intermediate data
 Distribution of keys
›
Reducer can become a bottleneck for common keys
›
Use Partitioner to control distribution of map records to reducers
• E.g. distribute mapper records with common keys across multiple reducers in a
round robin manner
40
Practical considerations
 Judicious partitioning of data
›
Multiple files helps parallelism, but hit name-node limits
›
Smaller number of files keeps name-node happy but at the expense of
parallelism
 Less ideal for distributed computing algorithms requiring
communications (e.g. distributed decision trees)
›
MPI on top of the cluster for communication
