Relational database management system Node based flat structure

OLTP processing Analytical, big data processing

Cost around $10000 to $14000 per Cost around $4000 per terabytes of
terabytes of storage storage
Needs high expensive hardware A nodes required only a processor, a
network card and few hard drives

13. Define HDFS

The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is the primary data storage system used
by Hadoop applications. It employs a NameNode and DataNode architecture to implement
a distributed file system that provides high-performance access to data across highly scalable Hadoop
clusters.

 Node-level agent
 Job application
 Utilization

15. Limitation of HDFS

 Name node save all its file metadata in main memory.
 There is a limit on the number of object that one can have in the memory on a single name
node
 Name node can quickly become overwhelmed with load on the system increasing

16. How does mapreduce work?

Mapreduce divides a data analysis task into two part – map and reduce. Mapreduce programming
works two mapper and one reducer. Each mapper works on the partical dataset that is stored on that
node and the reducer combines the output from the mapper to produce the reduced result set.

Unit – IV
Part - A
1) Define Mapreduce ?
Answer: MapReduce is a processing technique and a program model for distributed computing based
on java. The MapReduce algorithm contains two important tasks, namely Map and Reduce. Map takes
a set of data and converts it into another set of data, where individual elements are broken down into
tuples (key/value pairs). Reduce task, which takes the output from a map as an input and combines
those data tuples into a smaller set of tuples. As the sequence of the name MapReduce implies, the
reduce task is always performed after the map job

2) Different types of mapper and definition ?

Answer: Mapper in Hadoop takes each record generated by the RecordReader as input. Then
processes each record and generates key-value pairs.
Types: Chain Mapper,Identity Mapper

3) Define reduces and its types ?

Answer: Hadoop Reducer takes a set of an intermediate key-value pair produced by the mapper as the
input and runs a Reducer function on each of them. One can aggregate, filter, and combine this data
(key, value) in a number of ways for a wide range of processing

4) Difference between combines and pastrones ?

Answer:

5) What is meant by searching in map reduces program ?

Answer: Searching plays an important role in MapReduce algorithm. It helps in the combiner phase
(optional) and in the Reducer phase.

6) Define compression in map reduce ?

Answer: In data intensive hadoop workloads,I/O operation and network data transfer takes
considerably long amount of time to complete.In addition to this internal MapReduce "Shuffle"
process is also under huge I/O pressure as it has to often "spill out" intermediate data to local disks
before advancing from Map phase to Reduce Phase

7) What is Hive ?
Answer: Hive is a data warehouse infrastructure tool to process structured data in Hadoop. It resides
on top of Hadoop to summarize Big Data, and makes querying and analyzing easy.This is a brief
tutorial that provides an introduction on how to use Apache Hive HiveQL with Hadoop Distributed
File System.
12
 KSRCE/QM/7.5.1/CSE
8) What is the features of hive ?
Answer: * Hive provides data summarization, query, and analysis in much easier manner.
* Hive supports external tables which make it possible to process data without actually storing in
HDFS.
* Apache Hive fits the low-level interface requirement of Hadoop perfectly.
* It also supports partitioning of data at the level of tables to improve performance.

9) List out data unit used in hive ?

Answer: Databases, Tables, Partitions , Buckets

10) What is HQL ?

Answer: Hibernate Query Language (HQL) is an object-oriented query language, similar to SQL, but
instead of operating on tables and columns, HQL works with persistent objects and their properties.
HQL queries are translated by Hibernate into conventional SQL queries, which in turns perform action
on database.

11) What is Hive datatypes ?

Answer: * Integral Types (TINYINT, SMALLINT, INT/INTEGER, BIGINT)
 Strings.
 Varchar.
 Char.
 Timestamps. Casting Dates.
 Intervals.

12) Different types of Hive File Formats ?

Answer: Formats:TextFile,SequenceFile,RCFile,AVRO,ORC,Parquet. Apache Hive supports several
familiar file formatsused in Apache Hadoop

13) Write about RC File ?

Answer: RC is a resource file format used by C/C++ programming applications. RC files are used to
hold statements for different files that are going to be compiled into a binary resource file

14) Write about DML statements ?

Answer: DML is short name of Data Manipulation Languagewhich deals with data manipulation,
and includes most common SQL statements such SELECT,INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE etc, and it
is used to store, modify, retrieve, delete and update data in database

15) What is UDF ?

Answer: Functions are built for a specific purpose to perform operations like Mathematical,
arithmetic, logical and relational on the operands of table column names.
16) Detail about SERDE ?
13
 Answer: SerDe is short for Serializer/Deserializer. Hive uses the SerDe interface for IO. The interface
KSRCE/QM/7.5.1/CSE
handles both serialization and deserialization and also interpreting the results of serialization as
individual fields for processing. A SerDe allows Hive to read in data from a table, and write it back out
to HDFS in any custom format. Anyone can write their own SerDe for their own data formats.
