guessing number of reducers.jamal sasha 2012-11-21, 16:38
By default the number of reducers is set to 1..
Is there a good way to guess optimal number of reducers....
Or let's say i have tbs worth of data... mappers are of order 5000 or so...
But ultimately i am calculating , let's say, some average of whole data...
say average transaction occurring...
Now the output will be just one line in one "part"... rest of them will be
empty.So i am guessing i need loads of reducers but then most of them will
be empty but at the same time one reducer won't suffice..
What's the best way to solve this..
How to guess optimal number of reducers..
Thanks

Re: guessing number of reducers.Bejoy KS 2012-11-21, 16:50
Hi Sasha
In general the number of reduce tasks is chosen mainly based on the data volume to reduce phase. In tools like hive and pig by default for every 1GB of map output there will be a reducer. So if you have 100 gigs of map output then 100 reducers.
If your tasks are more CPU intensive then you need lesser volume of data per reducer for better performance results.
In general it is better to have the number of reduce tasks slightly less than the number of available reduce slots in the cluster.

RE: guessing number of reducers.Kartashov, Andy 2012-11-21, 17:49
Bejoy,
I've read somethere about keeping number of mapred.reduce.tasks below the reduce task capcity. Here is what I just tested:
Output 25Gb. 8DN cluster with 16 Map and Reduce Task Capacity:
1 Reducer - 22mins
4 Reducers - 11.5mins
8 Reducers - 5mins
10 Reducers - 7mins
12 Reducers - 6:5mins
16 Reducers - 5.5mins
8 Reducers have won the race. But Reducers at the max capacity was very clos. :)

Re: guessing number of reducers.Bejoy KS 2012-11-21, 18:21
Hi Andy
It is usually so because if you have more reduce tasks than the reduce slots in your cluster then a few of the reduce tasks will be in queue waiting for its turn. So it is better to keep the num of reduce tasks slightly less than the reduce task capacity so that all reduce tasks run at once in parallel.
But in some cases each reducer can process only certain volume of data due to some constraints, like data beyond a certain limit may lead to OOMs. In such cases you may need to configure the number of reducers totally based on your data and not based on slots.

Re: guessing number of reducers.Mohammad Tariq 2012-11-21, 18:04
Hello Jamal,
I use a different approach based on the no of cores. If you have, say a
4 cores machine then you can have (0.75*no cores)no. of MR slots.
For example, if you have 4 physical cores OR 8 virtual cores then you can
have 0.75*8=6 MR slots. You can then set 3M+3R or 4M+2R and so on as per
your requirement.

Mohammad Tariq

Re: guessing number of reducers.Manoj Babu 2012-11-21, 17:58
Hi,
How to set no of reducers in job conf dynamically?
For example some days i am getting 500GB of data on heavy traffic and some
days 100GB only.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
Manoj.

Re: guessing number of reducers.Bejoy KS 2012-11-21, 18:34
Hi Manoj
If you intend to calculate the number of reducers based on the input size, then in your driver class you should get the size of the input dir in hdfs and say you intended to give n bytes to a reducer then the number of reducers can be computed as
Total input size/ bytes per reducer.
You can round this value and use it to set the number of reducers in conf programatically.

Jamal,
This is what I am using...
After you start your job, visit jobtracker's WebUI <ip-address>:50030
And look for Cluster summary. Reduce Task Capacity shall hint you what optimally set your number to. I could be wrong but it works for me. :)
Cluster Summary (Heap Size is *** MB/966.69 MB)
Running Map Tasks
Running Reduce Tasks
Total Submissions
Nodes
Occupied Map Slots
Occupied Reduce Slots
Reserved Map Slots
Reserved Reduce Slots
Map Task Capacity
Reduce Task Capacity
Avg. Tasks/Node
Blacklisted Nodes
Excluded Nodes

Subject: guessing number of reducers.
By default the number of reducers is set to 1..
Is there a good way to guess optimal number of reducers....
Or let's say i have tbs worth of data... mappers are of order 5000 or so...
But ultimately i am calculating , let's say, some average of whole data... say average transaction occurring...
Now the output will be just one line in one "part"... rest of them will be empty.So i am guessing i need loads of reducers but then most of them will be empty but at the same time one reducer won't suffice..
What's the best way to solve this..
How to guess optimal number of reducers..
Thanks
