Learning YARN

Overview of this book

Today enterprises generate huge volumes of data. In order to provide effective services and to make smarter and more intelligent decisions from these huge volumes of data, enterprises use big-data analytics. In recent years, Hadoop has been used for massive data storage and efficient distributed processing of data. The Yet Another Resource Negotiator (YARN) framework solves the design problems related to resource management faced by the Hadoop 1.x framework by providing a more scalable, efficient, flexible, and highly available resource management framework for distributed data processing. This book starts with an overview of the YARN features and explains how YARN provides a business solution for growing big data needs. You will learn to provision and manage single, as well as multi-node, Hadoop-YARN clusters in the easiest way. You will walk through the YARN administration, life cycle management, application execution, REST APIs, schedulers, security framework and so on. You will gain insights about the YARN components and features such as ResourceManager, NodeManager, ApplicationMaster, Container, Timeline Server, High Availability, Resource Localisation and so on. The book explains Hadoop-YARN commands and the configurations of components and explores topics such as High Availability, Resource Localization and Log aggregation. You will then be ready to develop your own ApplicationMaster and execute it over a Hadoop-YARN cluster. Towards the end of the book, you will learn about the security architecture and integration of YARN with big data technologies like Spark and Storm. This book promises conceptual as well as practical knowledge of resource management using YARN.

The ResourceManager's view


Being the master service, the ResourceManager service manages the following:

  • Cluster resources (nodes in the cluster)

  • Applications submitted to the cluster

  • Attempt of running applications

  • Containers running on cluster nodes

The ResourceManager service has its own view for different processes associated with YARN management and application execution of YARN. The following is the view of ResourceManager:

  • Node: This is the machine with the NodeManager daemon

  • Application: This is the code submitted by any client to the ResourceManager

  • Application attempt: This attempt is associated with the execution of any application

  • Container: This is the process running the business logic of the submitted application

View 1 – Node

The node view of ResourceManager manages the life cycle for NodeManager nodes within a cluster. For every node in the cluster, the ResourceManager maintains an RMNode object. The states and event types of a node are defined in enumerations NodeState and RMNodeEventType...
