Stop accepting new jobs in a hadoop cluster (ACL)

By Anonymous -
To stop accepting new MR jobs in a hadoop cluster you have to enable ACL's first. If you've done that, you can specify a single character queue ACL (' ' = a space!). Since mapred-queue-acls.xml is polled regularly you can dynamically change the queue in a running system . Useful for ops related work (setting into maintenance, extending / decommission nodes and such things).

Enable ACL's

Edit the config file ($HADOOP/conf/mapred-queue-acls.xml) to fit your needs:

<configuration>
 <property>
   <name>mapred.queue.default.acl-submit-job</name>
   <value>user1,user2,group1,group2,admins</value>
 </property>

 <property>
   <name>mapred.queue.default.acl-administer-jobs</name>
   <value>admins</value>
 </property>

</configuration>

Enable an ACL driven cluster by editing the value of mapred.acls.enabled in conf/mapred-site.xml and setting to true.

Now edit simply the value of mapred.queue.default.acl-submit-job and replace user1,user2,group1,group2 with ' ':

<configuration>
 <property>
   <name>mapred.queue.default.acl-submit-job</name>
   <value> </value>
 </property>

 <property>
   <name>mapred.queue.default.acl-administer-jobs</name>
   <value>admins</value>
 </property>

</configuration>

This stops all users to submit new jobs, but lets the started jobs running.

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

By -
Under some strange circumstances it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This happens often by using 3rd party frameworks together with Kafka. Additionally, Kafka < 0.9 has no lock at Log.read() at the consumer read level, but has a lock on Log.write(). This can cause a rare race condition, as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. Probably a log entry looks like: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of every consumer in Zookeeper. To read out the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But also zkCli.sh can be used, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9 the only possibility to get this i

Hive query shows ERROR "too many counters"

By Anonymous -
A hive job face the odd " Too many counters:"  like Ended Job = job_xxxxxx with exception 'org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.counters.LimitExceededException(Too many counters: 201 max=200)' FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask Intercepting System.exit(1) These happens when operators are used in queries ( Hive Operators ). Hive creates 4 counters per operator, max upto 1000, plus a few additional counters like file read/write, partitions and tables. Hence the number of counter required is going to be dependent upon the query.  To avoid such exception, configure " mapreduce.job.counters.max " in mapreduce-site.xml to a value above 1000. Hive will fail when he is hitting the 1k counts, but other MR jobs not. A number around 1120 should be a good choice. Using " EXPLAIN EXTENDED " and " grep -ri operators | wc -l " print out the used numbers of operators. Use this value to tweak the MR s
