LZO Compression with Oozie

By Anonymous
Listen:
It happens, when one of the compression codec is switched to LZO, that Oozie can't start any MR job successfully. Usually this is done per core-site.xml:

<property>
<name>io.compression.codecs</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.DefaultCodec,com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec,com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzopCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.BZip2Codec</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>io.compression.codec.lzo.class</name>
<value>com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec</value>
</property>

Oozie reports a ClassNotFound error (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Class com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec not found). To get the jobs running copy or link hadoop-lzo.jar into /var/lib/oozie/ and restart Oozie's server. 

The second, most common issue most people forget is to set the shared lib directory:

[root@hadoop2 ~]# sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -mkdir  /user/oozie
[root@hadoop2 ~]# sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -chown oozie:oozie /user/oozie
[root@hadoop2 ~]# mkdir /tmp/share && cd /tmp/share && tar xvfz /usr/lib/oozie/oozie-sharelib.tar.gz
[root@hadoop2 ~]# sudo -u oozie hadoop fs -put share /user/oozie/share

From CDH 4.1 on a jar package is delivered, called uber JAR. It contains only dependencies to other jar files in a lib/ folder inside of it. After enabling this property, the user can use this in their mapreduce jobs and notify Oozie about this special jar file. You can enable this package per oozie-site.xml

<property>
<name>oozie.action.mapreduce.uber.jar.enable</name>
<value>true</value>

When this property is set, users can use the oozie.mapreduce.uber.jar configuration property in their MapReduce workflows to notify Oozie that the specified JAR file is an uber JAR.

Why Is Customer Obsession Disappearing?

By
 It's wild that even with all the cool tech we've got these days, like AI solving complex equations and doing business across time zones in a flash, so many companies are still struggling with the basics: taking care of their customers.The drama around Coinbase's customer support is a prime example of even tech giants messing up. And it's not just Coinbase — it's a big-picture issue for the whole industry. At some point, the idea of "customer obsession" got replaced with "customer automation," and now we're seeing the problems that came with it. "Cases" What Not to Do Coinbase, as main example, has long been synonymous with making cryptocurrency accessible. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned trader, their platform was once the gold standard for user experience. But lately, their customer support practices have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons: Coinbase - Stuck in the Loop:  Users have reported being caugh...

MySQL Scaling in 2024

By
When your MySQL database reaches its performance limits, vertical scaling through hardware upgrades provides a temporary solution. Long-term growth, though, requires a more comprehensive approach. This involves optimizing the database strategically and integrating complementary technologies. Caching The implementation of a caching layer, such as Memcached or Redis , can result in a notable reduction in the load and an increase ni performance at MySQL. In-memory stores cache data that is accessed frequently, enabling near-instantaneous responses and freeing the database for other tasks. For applications with heavy read traffic on relatively static data (e.g. product catalogues, user profiles), caching represents a low-effort, high-impact solution. Consider a online shop product catalogue with thousands of items. With each visit to the website, the application queries the database in order to retrieve product details. By using caching, the retrieved details can be stored in Memcached (a...

What the Heck is Superposition and Entanglement?

By
If you’ve ever heard the words superposition or entanglement thrown around in conversations about quantum physics, you may have nodded politely while your brain quietly filed them away in the "too confusing to deal with" folder.  These aren't just theoretical quirks; they're the foundation of mind-bending tech like Google's latest quantum chip, the Willow with its 105 qubits. Superposition challenges our understanding of reality, suggesting that particles don't have definite states until observed. This principle is crucial in quantum technologies, enabling phenomena like quantum computing and quantum cryptography. What's in for us? Short, nothing at the moment. 105 qubits sounds awesome, but it would neither crack encryption nor enhance AI in the next few years. There are some use cases for Willow, like drug (protein) discovery or solving certain mathematical problems when they aren't too complicated. Right now, Google managed to turn physical qubits ...
