Taming Operations in the Apache Hadoop Ecosystem

Invited Talk
Friday, November 14, 2014 - 11:00am-11:45am

Kathleen Ting and Jonathan Hsieh, Cloudera, Inc.

Abstract: 

The Apache Hadoop stack includes many distributed storage and processing systems, running on clusters ranging from tens to thousands of nodes. At Cloudera, we’ve been supporting tens of thousands of nodes in hundreds of our customers’ production clusters with diverse use cases. For five years, we have been navigating paths for sys admins to manage, tune, and debug the systems. We'll describe a methodology for debugging and tuning between the different layers (app, hadoop, jvm, kernel, networking). We’ll also talk about new tools and subsystems included in our operational best practices to keep your clusters always up, running, and secure.

Kathleen Ting, Cloudera

Kathleen Ting (@kate_ting) is currently a technical account manager at Cloudera where she helps strategic customers deploy and use the Apache Hadoop ecosystem in production. She's a frequent conference speaker, has contributed to several projects in the open source community, and is a committer and PMC member on Apache Sqoop. Kathleen is also a co-author of O’Reilly’s Apache Sqoop Cookbook.

Jonathan Hsieh, Cloudera

Jonathan Hsieh is a Software Engineer and HBase Team Tech Lead at Cloudera. He is an Apache HBase committer and PMC member and a committer and founder of Apache Flume.
