Unit-4 Hadoop Ecosystem

 

Hadoop ecosystem architecture 


HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System). Serves as the primary storage foundation by splitting massive files into blocks and distributing them across multiple nodes for fault tolerance.Bottom section of above digram shows how external data moves into and out of Hadoop.

• Sqoop. Transfers structured data (such as tables from relational SQL databases) back and forth between external databases and HDFS.

• Flume. Collects, aggregates, and streams unstructured and semi-structured data (such as server logs and event feeds) directly into HDFS.

 

Processing & NoSQL Database -

  • MapReduce Framework. Processes large datasets in parallel by dividing tasks into mapping (filtering and sorting) and reducing (summarizing) phases.
  • HBase. Operates as a distributed, column-oriented NoSQL database on top of HDFS to enable fast, real-time read and write access to specific records.

·        Hadoop relies on MapReduce to process data. However, native MapReduce requires writing long, complex Java programs even for very basic tasks.

·        Hive and Pig act as translators. You write a few lines of simple commands, and the tool automatically converts them into MapReduce jobs behind the scenes.

 

Each tool in this layer serves a specific purpose for handling big data easily in the Analysis & ML Layer

 

  • Apache Hive (SQL Querying & Reporting). Used by data analysts to summarize, query, and analyse large datasets stored in HDFS. It uses HiveQL, which looks just like standard SQL, making it ideal for business intelligence and generating reports.
  • Apache Pig / Pig Latin (Data Cleaning & ETL). Used by data engineers to clean, filter, join, and transform messy or unstructured data into a clean format before analysis. It uses a simple step-by-step scripting language called Pig Latin.
  • Apache Mahout (Machine Learning). Used by data scientists to run pre-built machine learning algorithms on massive datasets. It helps build recommendation systems (like suggesting movies or products), group similar data (clustering), and classify information.

The Hadoop Ecosystem is a collection of open-source tools and frameworks used to store, process, manage, and analyze very large datasets (Big Data) across distributed clusters of computers.

It enables organizations to process huge amounts of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data efficiently. ecosystem adds specialized capabilities for SQL querying, real-time data streaming, NoSQL storage, machine learning, and cluster management.

 Why Hadoop Ecosystem required?

Instead of relying on one giant, expensive supercomputer, the Hadoop ecosystem allows organizations to connect many standard, low-cost servers together. If one server fails, the ecosystem automatically redirects tasks and recovers data from backups without interrupting work. 

Key Components by Layer

  • Ingestion: Sqoop imports structured SQL data, while Flume and Kafka stream unstructured log and event data into Hadoop.
  • Storage: HDFS stores huge files safely across multiple nodes, and HBase acts as a fast, real-time NoSQL database.
  • Processing: YARN manages cluster resources, while MapReduce and Spark process data in parallel.
  • Analysis & ML: Hive runs SQL-like queries, Pig cleans data via scripts, and Mahout handles machine learning.
  • Management: Oozie schedules automated workflows, ZooKeeper coordinates cluster nodes, and Ambari monitors system health.

Apache Pig is an open-source data flow platform in Hadoop used to clean, transform, and process massive datasets without writing complex Java MapReduce code.


Key Points

  • Language. Uses Pig Latin, a simple, step-by-step scripting language.
  • How It Works. Automatically translates short Pig Latin scripts into MapReduce jobs behind the scenes.
  • Best For. ETL pipelines (Extract, Transform, Load) and processing messy, semi-structured, or unstructured data (like logs and JSON).

Data Processing Operators

  • Input/Output. LOAD (reads data), STORE (saves to HDFS), and DUMP (displays on screen).
  • Filtering/Projection. FILTER (selects rows by condition) and FOREACH ... GENERATE (transforms columns).
  • Combining/Sorting. GROUP (groups by key), JOIN (merges datasets), ORDER BY (sorts data), and DISTINCT (removes duplicates).

Hive Shell is a command-line interface (CLI) used to interact with Apache Hive in the Hadoop ecosystem. It allows users to query and manage large datasets stored in HDFS using SQL-like commands called HiveQL (HQL).

 


Hive Architecture

1.   Hive Client: Connects users through JDBC, ODBC and Thrift.

2.   Hive Services: Includes Driver, Compiler, Optimizer, Metastore and HiveServer2.

3.   Processing: MapReduce processes data and YARN manages resources.

4.   Storage: HDFS stores data. 

  • Apache Hive is a data warehouse tool built on top of Hadoop.
  • It is used to analyze large datasets stored in HDFS.
  • It converts HiveQL queries into execution jobs using engines such as MapReduce, Tez, or Spark.

Hive Metastore is a central repository that stores metadata (data about data) of Hive tables. Hive Services

Hive provides different services to execute queries and manage data.

Hive Services

  • Driver: Manages query execution.
  • Compiler: Converts HiveQL into an execution plan.
  • Metastore: Stores metadata.
  • Execution Engine: Executes queries.
  • HiveServer2: Connects external applications to Hive.

HBase in Hadoop

HBase is a distributed NoSQL database used to store and access large amounts of data in Hadoop.

Components

1.   HMaster: Manages the cluster.

2.   RegionServer: Handles data operations.

3.   ZooKeeper: Coordinates services.

4.   HDFS: Stores data.


HBase Architecture: HBase is a distributed NoSQL database that stores large amounts of data in Hadoop. The Client sends read and write requests, HMaster manages the cluster and assigns regions, RegionServer handles data operations, Regions divide tables into smaller parts, ZooKeeper coordinates cluster services, and HDFS stores the actual data. Together, these components provide fast, reliable and scalable data access.

 

Big SQL (IBM Db2 Big SQL) is an enterprise SQL-on-Hadoop engine that lets you query massive Hadoop datasets using standard ANSI SQL.

Big SQL is an SQL-based tool used to access and analyze large amounts of data stored in Hadoop.

Features:

1.   Supports SQL queries.

2.   Fast data processing.

3.   Handles big data.

4.   Easy to use.

5.   Supports HDFS.
