ALLOCATION OF THE LARGE CLUSTER SETUPS IN MAPREDUCE

Running multiple instances of the MapReduce framework concurrently in a multicluster system or datacenter enables data, failure, and version isolation, which is attractive for many organizations. It may also provide some form of performance isolation, but in order to achieve this in the face of time-varying workloads submitted to the MapReduce instances, a mechanism for dynamic resource (re-)allocations to those instances is required. In this paper, we present such a mechanism called Fawkes that attempts to balance the allocations to MapReduce instances so that they experience similar service levels. Fawkes proposes a new abstraction for deploying MapReduce instances on physical resources, the MR-cluster, which represents a set of resources that can grow and shrink, and that has a core on which MapReduce is installed with the usual data locality assumptions but that relaxes those assumptions for nodes outside the core. Fawkes dynamically grows and shrinks the active MRcluster based on a family of weighting policies with weights derived from monitoring their operation. Implementing MapReduce in cloud requires creation of clusters, where the Map and Reduce operations can be performed. Optimizing the overall resource utilization without compromising with the efficiency of availing services is the need for the hour. Selecting right set of nodes to form cluster plays a major role in improving the performance of the cloud. As a huge amount of data transfer takes place during the data analysis phase, network latency becomes the defining factor in improving the QoS of the cloud. In this paper we propose a novel Cluster Configuration algorithm that selects optimal nodes in a dynamic cloud environment to configure a cluster for running MapReduce jobs. The algorithm is cost optimized, adheres to global resource utilization and provides high performance to the clients. The proposed Algorithm gives a performance benefit of 35% on all reconfiguration based cases and 45 % performance benefit on best cases
