Abstract:
With the enormous interest in cloud computing as a viable platform for scientific and computing research, we will introduce you to an open-source software stack that you can use to develop and run cloud applications or to conduct cloud systems research. We will discuss in detail the four layers of this stack: (1) Pig, a parallel programming language for expressing large-scale data analysis programs; (2) Hadoop, a distributed file system and parallel execution environment that can run Pig/Map-Reduce programs; (3) Tashi, a cluster management system for managing virtual machines; and (4) PRS, a low-level service that manages VLAN-isolated computer, storage, and networking resources. Pig, Hadoop, Tashi, and PRS are Apache open-source projects. Yahoo! already uses Pig and Hadoop in production, and HP, Intel, and Yahoo! have deployed this stack on their Open Cirrus™ cloud computing testbed, supporting cloud computing research conducted by multiple labs and universities.
