Optimised Method of Resource Allocation for Hadoop on Cloud

— Many case studies have proved that the data generated at industries and academia are growing rapidly, which are difficult to store using existing database system. Due to the usage of internet many applications are created and has helped many industries such as finance, health care etc, which are also the source of producing massive data. The smart grid is a technology which delivers energy in an optimal manner, phasor measurement unit (PMU) installed in smart grid is used to check the critical power paths and also generate massive sample data. Using parallel detrending fluctuation analysis algorithm (PDFA) fast detection of events from PMU samples are made. Storing and analyzing the events are made easy using MapReduce model, hadoop is an open source implemented MapReduce framework. Many cloud service providers (CSP) are extending their service for Hadoop which makes easy for user’s to run their hadoop application on cloud. The major task is, it is users responsibility to estimate the time and resources required to complete the job within deadlines. In this paper, machine learning techniquies such as local weighted linear regression and the parallel glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) algorithm are used to estimate the resource and job completion time
