The Project:
Census Web Agg


The Problem Statement

§  Calculate the number of events and unique cookies for each key
§  Key take aways
–  Data on input will be sessionized daily
–  Need to process all data for a month
–  Need to calculate values for Total Internet and for each site under
measurement


Counting Uniques from a Time Ordered Log File

A Major Downsides:
Need to keep all key elements in memory.
D Constrained to one machine for final aggregation.

Counting Uniques from a Key Ordered Log File

A Major Downsides:
Need to sort data in advance.
A The sort time increases as volume grows.

Scaling Issue

§  As our volume has grown we have the following stats:
–  Over 900 billion events per month
–  Over 150 billion sessions per month
–  Over 5,000 reportable sites
–  Over 50 countries
–  We see 15 billion distinct cookies in a month
–  5 sites have over 1 billion cookies in a month
–  The sum of all distinct cookies is 377 billion
–  We only need to output 15 million rows

§  V1 Processed sessions at roughly 250K rows/sec

§  Problems with this version:
–  Slow
–  Not Scalable
–  Dedicated Server
–  Bottleneck for delivering production


Counting Uniques from Sharded Key Ordered Log Files


Windows v2

§  Features of this version
–  Distributed (32 servers)
–  Multithreaded
–  Data Localization
–  Very low network data transfer
–  Handling the data growth

§  The V2 code processed data over 8 million rows/sec
–  1 hour for Dec 2009; 5 hours for April 2012

§  Issues
–  Data is distributed by ID into 64 parts
–  Possibilities for skew in distribution key, that impacts performance and high disk usage on a node
–  All data replication is manual, along with recovery
–  Results cannot be calculated if any node is down
–  Adding new servers or change in parts is a ton of effort
–  Overhead to maintain framework to run distributed jobs


Enter the Elephant

§  Why Hadoop?
–  Scalable
–  Low risk to lose data due to replication
–  Run on a shared production cluster
–  No overhead to maintain framework
–  Easy job submission and management


Basic Approach

§  Leverage Pig for POC
–  Pig Latin is easy for developers and data analysts to learn
–  Rapid application development vs. M/R applications (i.e. 1 line of Pig Latin = 20 lines in Java Map/
Reduce)
–  Extendable via UDFs

Basic Approach Retrospective

§  Processing speed is not scaling to our needs on a sample of the input data
§  Diagnosis
–  Most aggregations could not take significant advantage of combiners. Not a Pig issue.
–  Large shuffles caused poor job performance. In some cases large aggregations ran slower on the
Hadoop cluster compared to the current architecture

§  Diagnosis
–  A new approach is required to reduce the shuffle


Solution to reduce the shuffle

§  The Problem:
–  Most aggregations within comScore can not take advantage of combiners, leading to large shuffles
and job performance issues

§  The Idea:
–  Partition and sort data on a daily basis
–  Create a custom input format to merge daily partitions for monthly aggregations

Partitioning Summary

§  Benefits:
–  A large portion of the aggregation can be completed in the map phase
–  Applications can now take advantage of combiners
–  Shuffles sizes are minimal

§  Risks:
–  Data locality loss
–  Map failures might result in long run times. This is dependent on the size of the partitions


Full Sample Performance

§  Full set of data analysis
–  10 TB of input data
–  150 billion session rows

§  Total Time
–  1 hour, 45 minutes
–  Over 23,000,000 rows/sec


Future Ideas

§  HBase
–  Unique cookie calculations are free as data is more organized
–  How will data loading fare?

§  Data Locality
–  Ideally it would be great to provide additional clues to the storage of the data
–  Not sure if it will be included in Hadoop

§  Connection to a MPP DB
–  We also leverage Greenplum DB, we could connect to each sharded instance


Hadoop Cluster

§  Production Hadoop Cluster
–  80 nodes: Mix of Dell R710 and R510
–  Each R510 has (12x2TB drives; 64GB RAM; 24 cores)
–  1768 total CPUs
–  4.7TB total memory
–  1200TB total disk space
–  Our distro is MapR M5 1.2.7
