MapReduce

Note

This feature is only available in NCache Enterprise Edition.

You can configure MapReduce for processing and generating large data sets with a parallel, distributed algorithm on a cluster.

Using NCache Web Manager

  • Launch NCache Web Manager by browsing to http://localhost:8251 (Windows) or <server-ip>:8251 (Windows + Linux).

  • In the left navigation bar, click on Clustered Caches or Local Caches, based on the cache to configure.

  • Against the cache name, click on View Details.

  • This opens up the detailed configuration page for the cache. Go to the Advanced Settings tab and click on MapReduce in the left bar.

  • Configure the Max Tasks that can be executed simultaneously.

  • In case you expect exceptions to be thrown during task execution, you can specify Max avoidable exceptions, after which the task is failed and logged in the cache error log.

  • Specify Chunk Size - the number of emitted elements a chunk must have before being transmitted to Combiner or Reducer.

  • Specify the Queue Size which is the maximum number of tasks that can wait in queue before they are processed.

  • Click Deploy Task Libraries.

  • A dialog box will open. Browse for the libraries which have the MapReduce interfaces implemented and click Open.

  • Click on Save Changes to apply this configuration to the cache.

Using PowerShell

Add-MapReduce cmdlet configures MapReduce tasks for processing and generating large data sets with a parallel, distributed algorithm on a clustered cache.

The following command configures MapReduce execution on demoClusteredCache with default options.

Add-MapReduce -CacheName demoClusteredCache

The following command configures MapReduce on demoClusteredCache with 20 tasks to be executed in parallel with chunks of 100 elements each.

Add-MapReduce demoClusteredCache -MaxTasks 20 -ChunkSize 100
