Running Hadoop Job Remotely

Question

I am trying to run a MapReduce job from outside the cluster.

e.g. Hadoop cluster is running on Linux machines. We have one web application running on a Windows machine. We want to run the hadoop job from this remote web application. We want to retrieve the hadoop output directory and present it as a Graph.

We have written the following piece of code:

Configuration conf = new Configuration();

Job job = new Job(conf);

conf.set("mapred.job.tracker", "192.168.56.101:54311"); 

conf.set("fs.default.name", "hdfs://192.168.56.101:54310");

job.setJarByClass(Analysis.class) ;
//job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
//job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);

job.setMapperClass(Map.class);
job.setReducerClass(Reduce.class);



//job.set

job.setInputFormatClass(CustomFileInputFormat.class);
job.setOutputFormatClass(TextOutputFormat.class);

FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));

job.setMapOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
job.setMapOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);


job.waitForCompletion(true);

And this is the error we get. Even if we shut down the hadoop 1.1.2 cluster, the error is still the same.

Try including mapred-ste.xml & hdfs-site.xml from the cluster in the classpath of your application. Add these files to your Configuration object by calling : addResource(Path). — Venkat, Mar 06 '14 at 17:43

Bottom line, some code inside Hadoop does not expect to ever be run inside a Windows environment. You can write a patch for it, I'm sure, but if that's too much work, the best way might be to ship the job to a Linux machine before running it. — Daniel S., Mar 06 '14 at 18:31

While running from a remote system, you should run as remote user. You can do it in your main class as follows:

public static void main(String a[]) {
     UserGroupInformation ugi
     = UserGroupInformation.createRemoteUser("root");

     try {


        ugi.doAs(new PrivilegedExceptionAction<Void>() {

            public Void run() throws Exception {
                 Configuration conf = new Configuration();

                 Job job = new Job(conf);

                 conf.set("hadoop.job.ugi", "root");

                 // write your remaining piece of code here. 

                return null;
            }
        });

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

Also while submitting a mapreduce job, it should copy your java classes with their dependent jars to hadoop cluster, where it execute mapreduce job.You can read more here.

So you need to create a runnable jar of your code (with main class Analysis in your case) with all dependent jar files inits manifest classpath. Then run your jar file from your commandline using

java -jar job-jar-with-dependencies.jar arguments

HTH!
