Hello,

I was estimating how much disk space do I need for my cluster.

I have 24 million JSON documents approx. 5kb each
the Json is to be stored into HBASE with some identifying data in coloumns
and I also want to store the Json for later retrieval based on the Id data
as keys in Hbase.
I have my HDFS replication set to 3
each node has Hadoop and hbase and Ubuntu installed on it.. so approx 11 GB
is available for use on my 20 GB node.

I have no idea, if I have not enabled Hbase replication, is the HDFS
replication enough to keep the data safe and redundant.
How much total disk space I will need for the storage of the data.

Please help me estimate this.

Thank you so much.

11 GB is quite small  - or is there a typo?

The amount of raw data is about 115 GB
   *nr of items* *size of an item* *
* *Bytes* *GB*  24 1.00E+006 5 1.02E+003
122880000000 114.4409179688  (without additional key and metadata)

Depending in the amount of overhead this could be about 200GB x 3 is 600GB
just for distributed storage.

And than you need some capacity to store intermediate processing data (20%
to 30%) of the processed data is recommendet.

So you might prepare a capacity of 1TB or even more if your dataset grows.

The replication on the HDFS level is sufficient for keeping the data safe,
no need to replicate the HBase tables separately.

Hi Panshul,

If you have 20 GB with a replication factor set to 3, you have only
6.6GB available, not 11GB. You need to divide the total space by the
replication factor.

Also, if you store your JSon into HBase, you need to add the key size
to it. If you key is 4 bytes, or 1024 bytes, it makes a difference.

So roughly, 24 000 000 * 5 * 1024 = 114GB. You don't have the space to
store it. Without including the key size. Even with a replication
factor set to 5 you don't have the space.

Now, you can add some compression, but even with a lucky factor of 50%
you still don't have the space. You will need something like 90%
compression factor to be able to store this data in your cluster.

A 1T drive is now less than $100... So you might think about replacing
you 20 GB drives by something bigger.
to reply to your last question, for your data here, you will need AT
LEAST 350GB overall storage. But that's a bare minimum. Don't go under
500GB.

IMHO

Thank you for the replies,

So I take it that I should have atleast 800 GB on total free space on
HDFS.. (combined free space of all the nodes connected to the cluster). So
I can connect 20 nodes having 40 GB of hdd on each node to my cluster. Will
this be enough for the storage?
Please confirm.

Thanking You,
Regards,
Panshul.

20 nodes with 40 GB will do the work.

After that you will have to consider performances based on your access
pattern. But that's another story.

If we look at it with performance in mind,
is it better to have 20 Nodes with 40 GB HDD
or is it better to have 10 Nodes with 80 GB HDD?

they are connected on a gigabit LAN

Thnx

I have been using AWS since quite sometime and I have
never faced any issue. Personally speaking, I found AWS
really flexible. You get a great deal of flexibility in choosing
services depending upon your requirements.

You can attach a separate disk to your instance (for example an
EBS volume in case of AWS), where you will be storing only
Hadoop related stuff. And one disk for OS related stuff.

If you make 20 individual small servers, that isn't much different from 20
from one server.  The only difference would be if the neighbors of the
separate VMs use less resource.
