Giraph : Large-scale graph processing on Hadoop Web and online social graphs have been rapidly growing in size and scale during the past decade. In 2008, Google estimated that the number of web pages reached over a trillion. Online social networking and email sites, including Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, have hundreds of millions of users and are expected to grow much more in the future. Processing these graphs plays a big role in relevant and personalized information for users, such as results from a search engine or news in an online social networking site. Graph processing platforms to run large-scale algorithms (such as page rank, shared connections, personalization-based popularity, etc.) have become quite popular. Some recent examples include Pregel and HaLoop. For general-purpose big data computation, the map-reduce computing model has been well adopted and the most deployed map-reduce infrastructure is Apache Hadoop. We have implemented a graph-processing framework that is launched as a typical Hadoop job to leverage existing Hadoop infrastructure, such as Amazon’s EC2. Giraph builds upon the graph-oriented nature of Pregel but additionally adds fault-tolerance to the coordinator process with the use of ZooKeeper as its centralized coordination service. Giraph follows the bulk-synchronous parallel model relative to graphs where vertices can send messages to other vertices during a given superstep. Checkpoints are initiated by the Giraph infrastructure at user-defined intervals and are used for automatic application restarts when any worker in the application fails. Any worker in the application can act as the application coordinator and one will automatically take over if the current application coordinator fails. ------------------------------- Hadoop versions for use with Giraph: Secure Hadoop versions: - Apache Hadoop 0.20.203.0 This is the default version used by Giraph: if you do not specify a profile with the -P flag, maven will use this version. You may also explicitly specify it with "mvn -Phadoop_0.20.203 <goals>". - Apache Hadoop 1.0.2 You may tell maven to use this version with "mvn -Phadoop_1.0 <goals>". - Apache Hadoop 0.23.1 You may tell maven to use this version with "mvn -Phadoop_0.23 <goals>". - Apache Hadoop Yarn with 2.2.0 You may tell maven to use this version with "mvn -Phadoop_yarn -Dhadoop.version=2.2.0 <goals>". - Apache Hadoop 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT You may tell maven to use this version with "mvn -Phadoop_trunk <goals>". Unsecure Hadoop versions: - Apache Hadoop 0.20.1, 0.20.2, 0.20.3 You may tell maven to use 0.20.2 with "mvn -Phadoop_non_secure <goals>". - Facebook Hadoop releases: https://github.com/facebook/hadoop-20, Master branch You may tell maven to use this version with "mvn -Phadoop_facebook <goals>" -- Other versions reported working include: --- Cloudera CDH3u0, CDH3u1 While we provide support for unsecure and Facebook versions of Hadoop with the maven profiles 'hadoop_non_secure' and 'hadoop_facebook', respectively, we have been primarily focusing on secure Hadoop releases at this time. ------------------------------- Building and testing: You will need the following: - Java 1.6 - Maven 3 or higher. Giraph uses the munge plugin (http://sonatype.github.com/munge-maven-plugin/), which requires Maven 3, to support multiple versions of Hadoop. Also, the web site plugin requires Maven 3. Use the maven commands with secure Hadoop to: - compile (i.e mvn compile) - package (i.e. mvn package) - test (i.e. mvn test) For the non-secure versions of Hadoop, run the maven commands with the additional argument '-Phadoop_non_secure'. Example compilation commands is 'mvn -Phadoop_non_secure compile'. For the Facebook Hadoop release, run the maven commands with the additional arguments '-Phadoop_facebook'. Example compilation commands is 'mvn -Phadoop_facebook compile'. ------------------------------- Developing: Giraph is a multi-module maven project. The top level generates a POM that carries information common to all the modules. Each module creates a jar with the code contained in it. The giraph/ module contains the main giraph code. If you just want to work on the main code only you can do all your work inside this subdirectory. Specifically you would do something like: giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn verify # build from current state giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn clean # wipe out build files giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn clean verify # build from fresh state giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn install # install jar to local repository The giraph-formats/ module contains hooks to read/write from various formats (e.g. Accumulo, HBase, Hive). It depends on the giraph module. This means if you make local changes to the giraph codebase you will first need to install the giraph/ jar locally so that giraph-formats/ will pick it up. In other words something like this: giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn install giraph-root/giraph-formats $ mvn verify To build everything at once you can issue the maven commands at the top level. Note that we use the "install" target so that if you have any local changes to giraph/ which formats needs it will get picked up because it will install locally first. giraph-root/ $ mvn clean install ------------------------------- Scripting: Giraph has support for writing user logic in languages other than Java. A Giraph job involves at the very least a Computation and Input/Output Formats. There are other optional pieces as well like Aggregators and Combiners. As of this writing we support writing the Computation logic in Jython. The Computation class is at the core of the algorithm so it was a natural starting point. Eventually it is our goal to allow users to write any / all components of their algorithms in any language they desire. To use Jython with our job launcher, GiraphRunner, pass the path to the script as the Computation class argument. Additionally, you should set the -jythonClass option to let Giraph know the name of your Jython Computation class. Lastly, you will need to set -typesHolder to a class that extends Giraph's TypesHolder so that Giraph can infer the types you use. Look at page-rank.py as an example. ------------------------------- How to run the unittests on a local pseudo-distributed Hadoop instance: As mentioned earlier, Giraph supports several versions of Hadoop. In this section, we describe how to run the Giraph unittests against a single node instance of Apache Hadoop 0.20.203. Download Apache Hadoop 0.20.203 (hadoop-0.20.203.0/hadoop-0.20.203.0rc1.tar.gz) from a mirror picked at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/hadoop/common/ and unpack it into a local directory Follow the guide at http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/quickstart.html#PseudoDistributed to setup a pseudo-distributed single node Hadoop cluster. Giraph’s code assumes that you can run at least 4 mappers at once, unfortunately the default configuration allows only 2. Therefore you need to update conf/mapred-site.xml: <property> <name>mapred.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum</name> <value>4</value> </property> <property> <name>mapred.map.tasks</name> <value>4</value> </property> After preparing the local filesystem with: rm -rf /tmp/hadoop-<username> /path/to/hadoop/bin/hadoop namenode -format you can start the local hadoop instance: /path/to/hadoop/bin/start-all.sh and finally run Giraph’s unittests: mvn clean test -Dprop.mapred.job.tracker=localhost:9001 Now you can open a browser, point it to http://localhost:50030 and watch the Giraph jobs from the unittests running on your local Hadoop instance! Notes: Counter limit: In Hadoop 0.20.203.0 onwards, there is a limit on the number of counters one can use, which is set to 120 by default. This limit restricts the number of iterations/supersteps possible in Giraph. This limit can be increased by setting a parameter "mapreduce.job.counters.limit" in job tracker's config file mapred-site.xml.
