[jira] Commented: (MAPREDUCE-225) Fault tolerant Hadoop Job Tracker

["Leitao Guo (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-225?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12998331#comment-12998331 ] 

Leitao Guo commented on MAPREDUCE-225:
--------------------------------------

We also have a solution to JobTracker HA based on LVS:

(1) Start a JobTracker attatched with a virtual IP. All TaskTrackers and JobClients connect with JT via virtual IP;
(2) 2 LVS servers (for hot standby) monitor the state of JobTracker;
(3) When JobTracker down, LVS will trigger a script to start another Jobtracker on another server. Jobs information will be achived with issues HADOOP-1876 and HADOOP-3245. 

This solution need not any changes on JobTracker, but a little complicated deployment.

> The Hadoop framework has been designed, in an eort to enhance perfor-
> mances, with a single JobTracker (master node). It's responsibilities varies
> from managing job submission process, compute the input splits, schedule
> the tasks to the slave nodes (TaskTrackers) and monitor their health.
> In some environments, like the IBM and Google's Internet-scale com-
> puting initiative, there is the need for high-availability, and performances
> becomes a secondary issue. In this environments, having a system with
> a Single Point of Failure (such as Hadoop's single JobTracker) is a major
> concern.
> My proposal is to provide a redundant version of Hadoop by adding
> support for multiple replicated JobTrackers. This design can be approached
> in many dierent ways. 
> In the document at: http://sites.google.com/site/hadoopthesis/Home/FaultTolerantHadoop.pdf?attredirects=0
> I wrote an overview of the problem and some approaches to solve it.
> I post this to the community to gather feedback on the best way to proceed in my work.
> Thank you!
