All in one HDFS Cluster for your pocket

Update 1 (Nov 21, 2011):
- added 3rd interface as host-only-adapter (hadoop1)
- enabled trusted device eth2

About one year ago, I created a small XEN-environment for my engineering pourposes. When I was traveling for hours it was very helpful to track some issues or test new features. The problem was that I had to carry 2 notebooks with me. That was the reason I switched to VirtualBox [1] which runs on OSX, Linux and Windows as well. I could play with my servers and when I did, they configured to death and I reimported them into a clean setup. I think that will also be a good start for new people who have to find into the hadoop ecosystem to see the power without the harm of configuration in a multi-node environment.
The appliance is created with VirtualBox, because it runs on OSX and Windows very easily. The idea behind it is to check new settings in a small environment rather easily; the appliance is designed for research, not for development and really not for production. The appliance has 4 nodes, one master and 3 slaves. The setup is not perfect, but it matched the environment I created it for. We have no seperate secondary namenode, for example. I set up hdfs, hive with mysql-metastore, hBase in distributed mode with zookeeper and stargate.

Before we can play with our own LAB we have to consider that we need some specials before. Please read the site [2] I created for.

    Pretty interesting. This is a good way to create an Hadoop test environment and actually our team is going to use it. I currently use VMWare Player to do something similar on one box, to get a full cluster up for testing purposes. I am the lead developer of oceansync.com, an Hadoop management software tool and so its important to have a test environment that is portable to I can test things quickly.

    I was testing with vmware-player, but I missed some features VirtualBox provides. The first is the transparency, I can use the app with OSX, Windows (7) and Linux as well.

    For consulting is really cool - you can demonstrate some changes in seconds live.

    Thanks a lot for this contribution! Based on this I could prepare my test environment in just some minutes. I also tested with vmware-player and finally I switched to VirtualBox too, which runs now on Windows7 and OpenSuse12.1.

    What do you think about a git-hub repository to collect useful admin and/or developer scripts which can than be deployed to a clean preinstalled DEMO- TEST- or TRAINING-cluster which can be based on your work?

    @Mirko: Sounds like a good idea, especially for ant builds I think.

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

By
Under some strange circumstances, it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This often happens when using 3rd party frameworks with Kafka. In addition, Kafka < 0.9 does not have a lock on Log.read() at the consumer read level, but does have a lock on Log.write(). This can lead to a rare race condition as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. A likely log entry looks like this: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of each consumer in Zookeeper. To read the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But you can also use zkCli.sh, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9, the only way to get this inform

Hive query shows ERROR "too many counters"

By Anonymous
A hive job face the odd " Too many counters:"  like Ended Job = job_xxxxxx with exception 'org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.counters.LimitExceededException(Too many counters: 201 max=200)' FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask Intercepting System.exit(1) These happens when operators are used in queries ( Hive Operators ). Hive creates 4 counters per operator, max upto 1000, plus a few additional counters like file read/write, partitions and tables. Hence the number of counter required is going to be dependent upon the query.  To avoid such exception, configure " mapreduce.job.counters.max " in mapreduce-site.xml to a value above 1000. Hive will fail when he is hitting the 1k counts, but other MR jobs not. A number around 1120 should be a good choice. Using " EXPLAIN EXTENDED " and " grep -ri operators | wc -l " print out the used numbers of operators. Use this value to tweak the MR s

AI's False Reality: Understanding Hallucination

By
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has leapfrogged to the poster child of technological innovation, on track to transform industries in a scale similar to the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s. But in this case, as cutting-edge technology, AI presents its own unique challenge, exploiting our human behavior of "love to trust", we as humans face a challenge: AI hallucinations. This phenomenon, where AI models generate outputs that are factually incorrect, misleading, or entirely fabricated, raises complex questions about the reliability and trust of AI models and larger systems. The tendency for AI to hallucinate comes from several interrelated factors. Overfitting – a condition where models become overly specialized to their training data – can lead to confident but wildly inaccurate responses when presented with novel scenarios (Guo et al., 2017). Moreover, biases embedded within datasets shape the models' understanding of the world; if these datasets are flawed or unreprese
