Overview of this book

Helping developers become more comfortable and proficient with solving problems in the Hadoop space. People will become more familiar with a wide variety of Hadoop related tools and best practices for implementation. Hadoop Real-World Solutions Cookbook will teach readers how to build solutions using tools such as Apache Hive, Pig, MapReduce, Mahout, Giraph, HDFS, Accumulo, Redis, and Ganglia. Hadoop Real-World Solutions Cookbook provides in depth explanations and code examples. Each chapter contains a set of recipes that pose, then solve, technical challenges, and can be completed in any order. A recipe breaks a single problem down into discrete steps that are easy to follow. The book covers (un)loading to and from HDFS, graph analytics with Giraph, batch data analysis using Hive, Pig, and MapReduce, machine learning approaches with Mahout, debugging and troubleshooting MapReduce, and columnar storage and retrieval of structured data using Apache Accumulo. Hadoop Real-World Solutions Cookbook will give readers the examples they need to apply Hadoop technology to their own problems.

Using Protocol Buffers to serialize data

Protocol Buffers is a cross-language data format. Protocol Buffers uses an interface definition file to generate bindings in many languages, including Java.

This recipe will demonstrate how to define a Protocol Buffers message, generate the corresponding Java bindings, and use these bindings to serialize a Java object to HDFS using MapReduce.

Getting ready

You will need to download/compile/install the following:

Hadoop LZO library
Google Protocol Buffers Version 2.3.0 from http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/
Elephant Bird (see the previous recipe)
The test data file weblog_entries.txt, from http://www.packtpub.com/support

Note

Note that you will need to have a GNU C/C++ compiler collection installed to compile the protocol buffer source. We will be compiling the source code for Protocol Buffers.

To install GNU C/C++ using Yum, run the following command as the root user from a bash shell:

# yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake

To compile and install Protocol...
