# Original README
Giraph : Large-scale graph processing on Hadoop
Web and online social graphs have been rapidly growing in size and
scale during the past decade. In 2008, Google estimated that the
number of web pages reached over a trillion. Online social networking
and email sites, including Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, Facebook,
LinkedIn, and Twitter, have hundreds of millions of users and are
expected to grow much more in the future. Processing these graphs
plays a big role in relevant and personalized information for users,
such as results from a search engine or news in an online social
networking site.
Graph processing platforms to run large-scale algorithms (such as page
rank, shared connections, personalization-based popularity, etc.) have
become quite popular. Some recent examples include Pregel and HaLoop.
For general-purpose big data computation, the map-reduce computing
model has been well adopted and the most deployed map-reduce
infrastructure is Apache Hadoop. We have implemented a
graph-processing framework that is launched as a typical Hadoop job to
leverage existing Hadoop infrastructure, such as Amazon’s EC2. Giraph
builds upon the graph-oriented nature of Pregel but additionally adds
fault-tolerance to the coordinator process with the use of ZooKeeper
as its centralized coordination service.
Giraph follows the bulk-synchronous parallel model relative to graphs
where vertices can send messages to other vertices during a given
superstep. Checkpoints are initiated by the Giraph infrastructure at
user-defined intervals and are used for automatic application restarts
when any worker in the application fails. Any worker in the
application can act as the application coordinator and one will
automatically take over if the current application coordinator fails.
-------------------------------
Hadoop versions for use with Giraph:
Secure Hadoop versions:
- Apache Hadoop 0.20.203.0
This is the default version used by Giraph: if you do not specify a
profile with the -P flag, maven will use this version. You may also
explicitly specify it with "mvn -Phadoop_0.20.203 <goals>".
- Apache Hadoop 1.0.2
You may tell maven to use this version with "mvn -Phadoop_1.0 <goals>".
- Apache Hadoop 0.23.1
You may tell maven to use this version with "mvn -Phadoop_0.23 <goals>".
- Apache Hadoop 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT
You may tell maven to use this version with "mvn -Phadoop_trunk <goals>".
Unsecure Hadoop versions:
- Apache Hadoop 0.20.1, 0.20.2, 0.20.3
You may tell maven to use 0.20.2 with "mvn -Phadoop_non_secure <goals>".
- Facebook Hadoop releases: https://github.com/facebook/hadoop-20, Master branch
You may tell maven to use this version with "mvn -Phadoop_facebook <goals>"
-- Other versions reported working include:
--- Cloudera CDH3u0, CDH3u1
While we provide support for unsecure and Facebook versions of Hadoop
with the maven profiles 'hadoop_non_secure' and 'hadoop_facebook',
respectively, we have been primarily focusing on secure Hadoop releases
at this time.
-------------------------------
Building and testing:
You will need the following:
- Java 1.6
- Maven 3 or higher. Giraph uses the munge plugin
(http://sonatype.github.com/munge-maven-plugin/),
which requires Maven 3, to support multiple versions of Hadoop. Also, the
web site plugin requires Maven 3.
Use the maven commands with secure Hadoop to:
- compile (i.e mvn compile)
- package (i.e. mvn package)
- test (i.e. mvn test)
For the non-secure versions of Hadoop, run the maven commands with the
additional argument '-Phadoop_non_secure'.
Example compilation commands is 'mvn -Phadoop_non_secure compile'.
For the Facebook Hadoop release, run the maven commands with the
additional arguments '-Phadoop_facebook'.
Example compilation commands is 'mvn -Phadoop_facebook compile'.
-------------------------------
Developing:
Giraph is a multi-module maven project. The top level generates a POM that
carries information common to all the modules. Each module creates a jar with
the code contained in it.
The giraph/ module contains the main giraph code. If you just want to work on
the main code only you can do all your work inside this subdirectory.
Specifically you would do something like:
giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn verify # build from current state
giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn clean # wipe out build files
giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn clean verify # build from fresh state
giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn install # install jar to local repository
The giraph-formats/ module contains hooks to read/write from various
formats (e.g. Accumulo, HBase, Hive). It depends on the giraph module. This
means if you make local changes to the giraph codebase you will first need to
install the giraph/ jar locally so that giraph-formats/ will pick it up.
In other words something like this:
giraph-root/giraph/ $ mvn install
giraph-root/giraph-formats $ mvn verify
To build everything at once you can issue the maven commands at the top level.
Note that we use the "install" target so that if you have any local changes to
giraph/ which formats needs it will get picked up because it will install
locally first.
giraph-root/ $ mvn clean install
-------------------------------
How to run the unittests on a local pseudo-distributed Hadoop instance:
As mentioned earlier, Giraph supports several versions of Hadoop. In
this section, we describe how to run the Giraph unittests against a single
node instance of Apache Hadoop 0.20.203.
Download Apache Hadoop 0.20.203 (hadoop-0.20.203.0/hadoop-0.20.203.0rc1.tar.gz)
from a mirror picked at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/hadoop/common/
and unpack it into a local directory
Follow the guide at
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/quickstart.html#PseudoDistributed
to setup a pseudo-distributed single node Hadoop cluster.
Giraph’s code assumes that you can run at least 4 mappers at once,
unfortunately the default configuration allows only 2. Therefore you need
to update conf/mapred-site.xml:
<property>
<name>mapred.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum</name>
<value>4</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>mapred.map.tasks</name>
<value>4</value>
</property>
After preparing the local filesystem with:
rm -rf /tmp/hadoop-<username>
/path/to/hadoop/bin/hadoop namenode -format
you can start the local hadoop instance:
/path/to/hadoop/bin/start-all.sh
and finally run Giraph’s unittests:
mvn clean test -Dprop.mapred.job.tracker=localhost:9001
Now you can open a browser, point it to http://localhost:50030 and watch the
Giraph jobs from the unittests running on your local Hadoop instance!
Notes:
Counter limit: In Hadoop 0.20.203.0 onwards, there is a limit on the number of
counters one can use, which is set to 120 by default. This limit restricts the
number of iterations/supersteps possible in Giraph. This limit can be increased
by setting a parameter "mapreduce.job.counters.limit" in job tracker's config
file mapred-site.xml.
