MapReduce

Hadoop MapReduce is a software framework for easily writing applications which process vast amounts of data (multi-terabyte data-sets) in-parallel on large clusters (thousands of nodes) of commodity hardware in a reliable, fault-tolerant manner.
1、原理
MapReduce是一种编程模型，用于大规模数据集（大于1TB）的并行运算。概念”Map（映射）”和”Reduce（归约）”，是它们的主要思想，都是从函数式编程语言里借来的，还有从矢量编程语言里借来的特性。它极大地方便了编程人员在不会分布式并行编程的情况下，将自己的程序运行在分布式系统上。 当前的软件实现是指定一个Map（映射）函数，用来把一组键值对映射成一组新的键值对，指定并发的Reduce（归约）函数，用来保证所有映射的键值对中的每一个共享相同的键组。
A MapReduce job usually splits the input data-set into independent chunks which are processed by the map tasks in a completely parallel manner. The framework sorts the outputs of the maps, which are then input to the reduce tasks. Typically both the input and the output of the job are stored in a file-system. The framework takes care of scheduling tasks, monitoring them and re-executes the failed tasks.
2、示例
WordCount

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;

import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable;
import org.apache.hadoop.io.Text;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.FileOutputFormat;

public class WordCount {

  public static class TokenizerMapper
       extends Mapper<Object, Text, Text, IntWritable>{

    private final static IntWritable one = new IntWritable(1);
    private Text word = new Text();

    public void map(Object key, Text value, Context context
                    ) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
      StringTokenizer itr = new StringTokenizer(value.toString());
      while (itr.hasMoreTokens()) {
        word.set(itr.nextToken());
        context.write(word, one);
      }
    }
  }

  public static class IntSumReducer
       extends Reducer<Text,IntWritable,Text,IntWritable> {
    private IntWritable result = new IntWritable();

    public void reduce(Text key, Iterable<IntWritable> values,
                       Context context
                       ) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
      int sum = 0;
      for (IntWritable val : values) {
        sum += val.get();
      }
      result.set(sum);
      context.write(key, result);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Configuration conf = new Configuration();
    Job job = Job.getInstance(conf, "word count");
    job.setJarByClass(WordCount.class);
    job.setMapperClass(TokenizerMapper.class);
    job.setCombinerClass(IntSumReducer.class);
    job.setReducerClass(IntSumReducer.class);
    job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
    job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
    FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0]));
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1]));
    System.exit(job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1);
  }
}

（1）The Mapper implementation, via the map method, processes one line at a time, as provided by the specified TextInputFormat. It then splits the line into tokens separated by whitespaces, via the StringTokenizer, and emits a key-value pair of < , 1>.
（2）The Reducer implementation, via the reduce method just sums up the values, which are the occurrence counts for each key (i.e. words in this example).
3、mapreduce的shuffle机制
mapreduce中，map阶段处理的数据如何传递给reduce阶段，是mapreduce框架中最关键的一个流程，这个流程就叫shuffle；
shuffle: 洗牌、发牌——（核心机制：数据分区，排序，缓存）；
具体来说：就是将maptask输出的处理结果数据，分发给reducetask，并在分发的过程中，对数据按key进行了分区和排序；
1、分区partition
2、Sort根据key排序
3、Combiner进行局部value的合并
该过程存在两个函数Partitioner和Conmbiner， Partitioner与Combiner之间的区别在于，Partitioner根据Reducer的数量来划分数据，使得单个分区中的所有数据由单个Reducer执行。然而，Combiner功能类似于Reducer，处理每个分区中的数据。Combiner是Reducer的一种优化。根据key或者value的一些其他函数划分数据可能是有用处的，但是Combiner不一定会提供性能。
