instantiation of classes in MR
Hi,
I want to understand a basic concept in MR.
If a mapper creates an instance of some class (using the 'new' operator),
then the created class exists ONCE in the VM of this node.
For each node.
Correct?
Now,
what if instead of using the 'new' operator, the class is created using
reflection.
Is it valid in a MR?
Will only one instance of the created class be existing in that node?
Thanks,
Eyal

Thank you very much for the help.
I am going to start working on it soon (a few days) and will probably have
more questions :)

Re: instantiation of classes in MR
Posted by Anirudh <te...@gmail.com>.
Harsh,
Appreciate you responding to the thread. Sorry got a bit held up with work,
hence couldnt reply.
I am not sure what do you mean by setup/cleanup procedures?
In my response I actually meant latter i.e. API hooks 'setup/cleanup'. If
the APIs are called per split/partition, why do we need to do that? I
cannot think of a case where we would need to do the setup again for the
next split/partition, as it is the input data. As it is the setup/cleanup
cannot be dependent on the size of the partition/split. In JVM resuse
option multiple splits can be considered as a large single split. Something
like init()/service() API of servlets. Do you think there could be any
issues with this approach?
*Quotes: Harsh
That wouldn't be good isolation-wise. Resetting a lot of other relevant
parameters would be much more costly than reinitializing the whole task
(but not the JVM). I think https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-249,
which introduced this, should help you*
This could be an answer to the question I asked earlier. As per me, reusing
the same instance of the Mapper would be good from optimization
perspective. Unless it is kind of mandated by the MR framework to run each
split/partition in isolation(even during JVM reuse). As I have yet not
looked at the code I will not be able to comment whether the
re-initializing that you are talking about could be avoided in case of JVM
reuse. Currently I am not sure what these parameters are that need to be
reset. I will surely look at the link that you provided and would want to
investigate further. Thanks for all the time.

Yep this is possible, surely, and is a good advantage to using JVM reuse.

Re: instantiation of classes in MR
Posted by Anirudh <te...@gmail.com>.
Any specific reason why setup is called for every task attempt. For
optimization point of view, wouldnt it be good if the setup is called only
once in case of JVM reuse.
I have not yet looked at the implementation, in case of JVM reuse is the
application Mapper instance reused or a new instance is created for every
task attempt?
My suggestion for Eyal would be to have a static field initializer
expression in the Mapper to create the helper class instance. This will
ensure that the helper class will be instantiated when the Mapper class is
loaded.

Re: instantiation of classes in MR

You are guaranteed one setup call for every single task attempt. This
is regardless of JVM reuse being on or off. JVM reuse will cause no
issues with what Eyal is attempting to do.

Re: instantiation of classes in MR
Posted by Anirudh <te...@gmail.com>.
No problems Eyal.
On a second thought, for the JVM re-use the Mapper/Reducer instances
should be re-used, and the setup should be called only once. This makes
sense too as the JVM reuse is for the same job.
You should be good with class instantiation even if the JVM reuse is
enabled.

Re: instantiation of classes in MR
Posted by Eyal Golan <eg...@gmail.com>.
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation Anirudh.
I think that my question about node / VM was due to some lack of knowledge
(I'm just starting to learn the Hadoop environment).
Regarding configuration of the nodes and clusters.
This is something that I am not doing by myself. We have a dedicated team
for managing the Hadoop cluster and I'll ask them.
I think that my question should have been: How many instances of the
'helper' class will be created in a single VM.
And, as I understand, consider I am creating the helper in the setup /
configure method, there would be one.
And as long as it's stateless, I'm good.
Thanks again,
Eyal

Re: instantiation of classes in MR
Posted by Anirudh <te...@gmail.com>.
I just wanted to confirm where exactly you were planning to have the
instantiation code, as it was not mentioned in your previous post. The
location would have made difference. As you are doing it in the setup of
mapper/reducer, you are good.
I was referring to the Task JVM Reuse option:
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/mapred_tutorial.html#Task+JVM+Reuse
It states that if the option to reuse JVM is enabled, the same Task JVM
will execute multiple tasks(i.e. map/reduce). I am not sure how this is
implemented, whether a new Mapper/Reducer is created for each task or they
too are re-reused.
If a new instance is created each time, then the mapper/reducer and all
its reference will be marked for garbage collection and you would be good.
If the Mapper/Reducer instances are re-used then the setup should be called
again creating another instance of your helper class.
In my opinion the latter does not make sense, and the implementation would
be according to the prior approach i.e. creation of a new Mapper/Reducer
for each Task. But it would be interesting to check.
As the classes in question are helper classes(stateless) you may not get
affected in terms of functionality.
I am not clear on one of your statement:
*How many map tasks will be created? One per split or one per VM (node)?*
*Are you suggesting that although there would be one Mapper in the node*...
Have you configured your node to have a single slot for map/reduce task? If
yes then there will be one Mapper/Reducer task in the node. If no there
could be more than one mapper/reducer in the node depending on lots of
other paramerters i.e. no of mappers/reducers slots allocated on the node,
no. of input splits etc. If the node is configured to run more than one
Mapper/Reducer task the scheduler may choose to run more than one task on
the same node. The default is 2 Map & 2 Reduce tasks per node. And for each
task a new JVM is launched unless the JVM reuse option is enabled.
Thanks,
Anirudh

Re: instantiation of classes in MR
Posted by Eyal Golan <eg...@gmail.com>.
My idea is to create that class in the setup / configure method (depends
which Mapper / Reducer I will inherit from).
I don't understand the 'reuse' option you are referring to.
How many map tasks will be created? One per split or one per VM (node)?
Are you suggesting that although there would be one Mapper in the node,
each new operator (or reflecting) will create a new instance?
Thus making lots of that instance?
BTW,
these helper class I want to create are of course not going to be stateful.
They are defiantly 'helper' class that have some logic.
Thanks,
Eyal

Re: instantiation of classes in MR

Where are you creating this new class. If it is in the map function, then
it will be create a new object for each record in the split.
Also you may need to see how the JVM reuse option works. I am not too sure
of this and you may want to look at the code. If the option for JVM reuse
is set, then my understanding is for every task, a new Map task would be
created and in that case the "new" operator will create another instance
even if this statement is not in the map function.

Re: instantiation of classes in MR

Great News !!
Thanks for the info.
So using reflection, I can inject different implementations of interfaces
(services) for the mapper (or reducer).
And this way I can test a mapper (or reducer).
Just by reflecting a stub instead of a real implementation.

Eyal,
Yes, it is right to think of each Task attempt being one individual JVM running individually on any added Node. Multiple slots would mean multiple VMs in parallel as well. Yes, your use of reflection to build your objects will work just fine -- its all user-side java code that is executed.
