An Intrusive Analyzer for Hadoop Systems Based on Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Owing to the acceleration of IoT- (Internet of Things-) based wireless sensor networks, cloud-computing services using Big Data are rapidly growing. In order to manage and analyze Big Data efficiently, Hadoop frameworks have been used in a variety of fields. Hadoop processes Big Data as record values by using MapReduce programming in a distributed environment. Through MapReduce, data are stored in a Hadoop file system, and that form is not structured but unstructured. For this, it is not easy to grasp the cause, although inaccurate and unreliable data occur in the process of Hadoop-based MapReduce. As a result, Big Data may lead to a fatal flaw in the system, possibly paralyzing services. There are existing tools that monitor Hadoop systems' status. However, the status information is not related to inner structure of Hadoop system so it is not easy to analyze Hadoop systems. In this paper, we propose an intrusive analyzer that detects interesting events to occur in distributed processing systems with Hadoop in wireless sensor networks. This tool guarantees a transparent monitor as using the JDI (Java debug interface).
