z2-Environment

h1. The Hadoop add-on

The Hadoop add on actually contains the client parts of the Cloudera Hadoop and HBase distribution plus some integration features that are described in [[How to Hadoop]] and related samples.

It is provided via the repository "z2-addons.hadoop":http://redmine.z2-environment.net/projects/z2-addons/repository/z2-addons-hadoop.

As Hadoop and HBase do not have a clear client - server compatibility vector, you may only use the Hadoop add-on with a matching server version. Currently, in Z2 version 2.1, the contained distribution is CDH 4.0.1.

We do - for experimental use only! - provide an easy to install and use, pre-configured single-node CDH 4.0.1 via the Git repository "z2-samples.cdh4-base":http://redmine.z2-environment.net/projects/z2-samples/repository/z2-samples-cdh4-base. The samples [[Sample-hadoop-basic]] and [[Sample-hbase-full-stack-TBD]] make use of that. See [[Install prepacked CDH4]] on how to set it up.

Extensions that help working with Hadoop are implemented by the modules *com.zfabrik.hadoop* and *com.zfabrik.hbase*.

h2. Details on *com.zfabrik.hadoop*

Javadocs can be found here: "Javadocs":http://www.z2-environment.net/javadoc/com.zfabrik.hadoop!2Fjava/api/index.html

h3. Component type com.zfabrik.hadoop.configuration

Components of this type provide Hadoop or HBase connectivity configuration via a component resource file "core-site.xml". There is no further configuration applicable.

h3. Component type com.zfabrik.hadoop.job

A Hadoop Map/Reduce job implementation. Using this component type, Jobs may be programmatically scheduled and run within the Z2 runtime. 

Properties:

|_. Name |_. Value or Description|

|com.zfabrik.component.type|com.zfabrik.hadoop.job|

|component.className|The name of a class provided by the module that implements "IMapReduceJob":http://www.z2-environment.net/javadoc/com.zfabrik.hadoop!2Fjava/api/com/zfabrik/hadoop/job/IMapReduceJob.html |

h2. Details on *com.zfabrik.hbase*

This module provides additional utilities and types on top of com.zfabrik.hadoop that simplify and help working with HBase.

Javadocs can be found here: "Javadocs":http://www.z2-environment.net/javadoc/com.zfabrik.hbase!2Fjava/api/index.html

This module does not provide component types. It does however providing a narrowing interface "IHBaseMapReduceJob":http://www.z2-environment.net/javadoc/com.zfabrik.hbase!2Fjava/api/com/zfabrik/hbase/IHBaseMapReduceJob.html that extends "IMapReduceJob":http://www.z2-environment.net/javadoc/com.zfabrik.hadoop!2Fjava/api/com/zfabrik/hadoop/job/IMapReduceJob.html for Map/Reduce jobs over HBase tables. 

See also [[Sample-hbase-full-stack-TBD]].
