Hadoop ChainMapper, ChainReducer

moodywoody picture moodywoody · Oct 17, 2012 · Viewed 10.9k times · Source

I'm relatively new to Hadoop and trying to figure out how to programmatically chain jobs (multiple mappers, reducers) with ChainMapper, ChainReducer. I've found a few partial examples, but not a single complete and working one.

My current test code is

public class ChainJobs extends Configured implements Tool {

public static class Map extends MapReduceBase implements Mapper<LongWritable, Text, Text, IntWritable> {

    private final static IntWritable one = new IntWritable(1);
    private Text word = new Text();

    public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter) throws IOException {
        String line = value.toString();
        StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
        while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
            word.set(tokenizer.nextToken());
            output.collect(word, one);
        }
    }
}

public static class Map2 extends MapReduceBase implements Mapper<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> {

    private final static IntWritable one = new IntWritable(1);
    private Text word = new Text();

    @Override
    public void map(Text key, IntWritable value, OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter) throws IOException {
        String line = value.toString();
        StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
        while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
            word.set(tokenizer.nextToken().concat("Justatest"));
            output.collect(word, one);
        }
    }
}

public static class Reduce extends MapReduceBase implements Reducer<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> {

    @Override
    public void reduce(Text key, Iterator<IntWritable> values, OutputCollector<Text, IntWritable> output, Reporter reporter) throws IOException {
        int sum = 0;
        while (values.hasNext()) {
            sum += values.next().get();
        }
        output.collect(key, new IntWritable(sum));
    }
}

@Override
public int run(String[] args)  {

    Configuration conf = getConf();
    JobConf job = new JobConf(conf);

    job.setJobName("TestforChainJobs");
    FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(job, new Path(args[0]));
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));

    JobConf map1Conf = new JobConf(false);
    ChainMapper.addMapper(job, Map.class, LongWritable.class, Text.class, Text.class, IntWritable.class, true, map1Conf);

    JobConf map2Conf = new JobConf(false);
    ChainMapper.addMapper(job, Map2.class, Text.class, IntWritable.class, Text.class, IntWritable.class, true, map2Conf);

    JobConf reduceConf = new JobConf(false);
    ChainReducer.setReducer(job, Reduce.class, Text.class, IntWritable.class, Text.class, IntWritable.class, true, reduceConf);

    JobClient.runJob(job);
    return 0;

     }

}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    int res = ToolRunner.run(new Configuration(), new ChainJobs(), args);
    System.exit(res);
}

But it fails with

MapAttempt TASK_TYPE="MAP" TASKID="task_201210162337_0009_m_000000" TASK_ATTEMPT_ID="attempt_201210162337_0009_m_000000_0" TASK_STATUS="FAILED" FINISH_TIME="1350397216365" HOSTNAME="localhost\.localdomain" ERROR="java\.lang\.RuntimeException: Error in configuring object

    at java\.security\.AccessController\.doPrivileged(Native Method)
    at javax\.security\.auth\.Subject\.doAs(Subject\.java:396)

Any hints or a very simple working example much appreciated.

I have coded a wordcount job based on a chain mapper. The code has been written on new API and its working well :)

import java.io.IOException;


import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configured;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.chain.ChainMapper;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.FileOutputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.util.Tool;
import org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner;

//implementing CHAIN MAPREDUCE without using custom format




//SPLIT MAPPER
class SplitMapper extends Mapper<Object,Text,Text,IntWritable>
{
    private IntWritable dummyValue=new IntWritable(1);
    //private String content;
    private String tokens[];
    @Override
    public void map(Object key,Text value,Context context)throws IOException,InterruptedException{
        tokens=value.toString().split(" ");
        for(String x:tokens)
        {
        context.write(new Text(x), dummyValue);
        }
    }   
}




//UPPER CASE MAPPER
class UpperCaseMapper extends Mapper<Text,IntWritable,Text,IntWritable>
{
    @Override
    public void map(Text key,IntWritable value,Context context)throws IOException,InterruptedException{
        String val=key.toString().toUpperCase();
        Text newKey=new Text(val);
        context.write(newKey, value);
    }
}



//ChainMapReducer
class ChainMapReducer extends Reducer<Text,IntWritable,Text,IntWritable>
{
    private int sum=0;
    @Override
    public void reduce(Text key,Iterable<IntWritable>values,Context context)throws IOException,InterruptedException{
        for(IntWritable value:values)
        {
            sum+=value.get();
        }
        context.write(key, new IntWritable(sum));
    }
}
public class FirstClass extends Configured implements Tool{
    static Configuration cf;
    public int run (String args[])throws IOException,InterruptedException,ClassNotFoundException{
        cf=new Configuration();

        //bypassing the GenericOptionsParser part and directly running into job declaration part
        Job j=Job.getInstance(cf);

        /**************CHAIN MAPPER AREA STARTS********************************/
        Configuration splitMapConfig=new Configuration(false);
        //below we add the 1st mapper class under ChainMapper Class
        ChainMapper.addMapper(j, SplitMapper.class, Object.class, Text.class, Text.class, IntWritable.class, splitMapConfig);

        //configuration for second mapper
        Configuration upperCaseConfig=new Configuration(false);
        //below we add the 2nd mapper that is the lower case mapper to the Chain Mapper class
        ChainMapper.addMapper(j, UpperCaseMapper.class, Text.class, IntWritable.class, Text.class, IntWritable.class, upperCaseConfig);
        /**************CHAIN MAPPER AREA FINISHES********************************/

        //now proceeding with the normal delivery
        j.setJarByClass(FirstClass.class);
        j.setCombinerClass(ChainMapReducer.class);
        j.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
        j.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
        Path p=new Path(args[1]);

        //set the input and output URI
        FileInputFormat.addInputPath(j, new Path(args[0]));
        FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(j, p);
        p.getFileSystem(cf).delete(p, true);
        return j.waitForCompletion(true)?0:1;
    }
    public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
        int res=ToolRunner.run(cf, new FirstClass(), args);
        System.exit(res);
    }
}

You might get to see some special or unwanted characters since I have not used any cleansing in order to remove the punctuation. I just have focussed on the working of a chain mapper. Thanks :)
