Analyzing a Graph with Hadoop/Java
Imagine that your boss gives you a large dataset which contains an entire email communication network from a popular social network site. The network is organized as a directed graph where each node represents a persons email address and an edge between two nodes (e.g., address A and address B) has a weight stating how many times A has written to B. You have been tasked with finding the person that each person has written to the most, along with that count (see the example below for more clarification). Your task is to write a MapReduce program in Java to report, for each node X (the source, or src for short) in the graph, the person Y (the target or tgt for short) that X has written to the most, and the number of times X has written to Y (the outbound weight, from X to Y). If a person has written to multiple targets that have exactly the same (largest) number of times, return the target with smallest node id.
First, go over the Hadoop word count tutorial to familiarize yourself with Hadoop and some Java basics. You will be able to complete this question with only some knowledge about Java. You should have already loaded two graph files into HDFS and loaded into your HDFS file system in your VM. Each file stores a list of edges as tab-separated-values. Each line represents a single edge consisting of three columns: (source node ID, target node ID, edge weight), each of which is separated by a tab (t). Node IDs and weights are positive integers. Below is a small toy graph, for illustration purposes (on your screen, the text may appear out of alignment).
src tgt weight
10 110 3
10 200 1
200 150 30
100 110 10
110 130 15
110 200 67
10 70 3
Your program should not assume the edges to be sorted or ordered in any ways (i.e., your program should work even when the edge ordering is random).
Your code should accept two arguments. The first argument (args[0]) will be a path for the input graph file on HDFS (e.g., data/graph1.tsv), and the second argument (args[1]) will be a path for output directory on HDFS (e.g., data/q1output1). The default output mechanism of Hadoop will create multiple files on the output directory such as part-00000, part-00001, which will be merged and downloaded to a local directory by the supplied run script. Please use the run1.sh and run2.sh scripts for your convenience.
The format of the output: each line contains a node ID, followed by a tab (t), and the expected target node ID,weight tuple (without the quotes; and note there is no space character before and after the comma). Lines do not need to be sorted. The following example result is computed based on the toy graph above. Please exclude nodes that do not have outgoing edges (e.g., those email addresses which have not sent out any communication).
For the toy graph above, the output is as follows.
10 70,3
200 150,30
100 110,10
110 200,67

Q2 Analyzing a Large Graph with Spark/Scala on Databricks
Tutorial: First, go over this Spark on Databricks Tutorial, to get the basics of creating Spark jobs, loading data, and working with data.
You will analyze mathoverflow.csv[3] using Spark and Scala on the Databricks platform. This graph is a temporal network of interactions on the stack exchange web-site MathOverflow. The dataset has three columns in the following format: ID of the source node (a user), ID of the target node (a user), Unix timestamp (seconds since the epoch).
Your objectives:
- Remove the pairs where the questioner and the answerer are the same person. Very important: all subsequent operations must be performed on this filtered
dataframe.
- List the top 3 answerers who answered the highest number of questions, sorted in descending order of questions answered count. If there is a tie, list the individual with smaller node ID first.
- List the top 3 questioners who asked the highest number of questions, sorted in descending order of questions asked count. If there is a tie, list the individual with the smaller node ID first.
- List the top 5 most common answerer-questioner pairs, sorted in descending order of pair count. If there is a tie, list the pair with the smaller answerer node ID first. If there is still a tie, use the questioner node ID as the tie-breaker by listing the smaller questioner ID first.
- List, by month, the number of interactions (questions asked/answered) from September 1, 2010 (inclusively) to December 31, 2010 (inclusively).
- List the top 3 individuals with the most overall activity (i.e., highest total questions asked and questions answered).
You should perform this task using the DataFrame API in Spark. Here is a guide that will help you get started on working with data frames in Spark.
A template Scala notebook, q2-skeleton.dbc has been included in the HW3-Skeleton that reads in a sample graph file examplegraph.csv. In the template, the input data is loaded into a dataframe, inferring the schema using reflection (Refer to the guide above).
Note: You must use only Scala DataFrame operations for this task. You will lose points if you use SQL queries, Python, or R to manipulate a dataframe.
You may find some of the following DataFrame operations helpful: toDF, join, select, groupBy, orderBy, filter
Upload the data file examplegraph.csv and q2-skeleton.dbc to your Databricks workspace before continuing. Follow the Databricks Setup Guide for further instructions. Consider the following directed graph example where we show the result of achieving the objectives on examplegraph.csv.
++-+-+|answerer|questioner| timestamp|++-+-+| 1| 4|1283296645|| 3| 4|1283297908|| 1| 4|1283298280|| 2| 2|1283298467|| 3| 4|1283299092|| 1| 2|1283300824|| 2| 1|1283300967|| 1| 2|1283301485|| 3| 1|1283302207|| 2| 4|1283303844|| 4| 1|1283304158|| 3| 1|1283304547|| 1| 2|1283305468|| 2| 1|1283305625|| 1| 7|1283306548|| 3| 3|1283306910|| 7| 2|1283309524|| 4| 1|1283310284|| 1| 4|1283310295|| 2| 7|1283310872|++-+-+ |
- Remove the pairs where the questioner and the answerer are the same person. For example, the instance of the edge answerer: 2 questioner: 2 and answerer: 3 questioner: 3 should be removed from examplegraph.

Q3 Analyzing Large Amount of Data with Pig on AWS
You will try out Apache Pig for processing n-gram data on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This is a fairly simple task, and in practice you may be able to tackle this using commodity computers (e.g., consumer-grade laptops or desktops). However, we would like you to use this exercise to learn and solve it using distributed computing on Amazon EC2, and gain experience (very helpful for your career), so you will be prepared to tackle problems that are more complex.
The services you will primarily be using are Amazon S3 storage, Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2) virtual servers in the cloud, and Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) managed Hadoop framework.
For this question, you will only use up a very small fraction of your $100 credit. AWS allows you to use up to 20 instances in total (that means 1 master instance and up to 19 core instances) without filling out a limit request form. For this assignment, you should not exceed this quota of 20 instances. Refer to details about instance types, their specs, and pricing. In the future, for larger jobs, you may want to use AWSs pricing calculator.
AWS Guidelines
Please read the AWS Setup Guidelines provided to set up your AWS account.
Datasets
In this question, you will use a dataset of over 130 million customer reviews from Amazon Customer Reviews. (Further details on this dataset are available here).
You will perform your analysis on two datasets based off of this data, which we have prepared for you: a small one (~1GB) and a large one (~32GB).
VERY IMPORTANT: Both the datasets are in the US East (N. Virginia) region. Using machines in other regions for computation would incur data transfer charges. Hence, set your region to US East (N. Virginia) in the beginning (not Oregon, which is the default). This is extremely important, otherwise your code may not work and you may be charged extra.
The files in these two S3 buckets are stored in a tab (t) separated format. An example of their structure is available here.
Goal
Output the top 15 product categories having the highest average star rating per review along with their corresponding averages, in tab-separated format, sorted in descending order. Only consider entries whose review bodies are 100 characters or longer, have 30 or more total votes, and were verified purchases. If multiple product categories have the same average, order them alphabetically on product category. Refer to the example and calculations below:
product_id review_id star_rating
Toys RDIJS7QYB6XNR 3
Toys BAHDID7JDNAK0 4
Toys YHFKALWPEOFK4 2
Books BZHDKTLJYBDNE 4
Books ZZUDNFLGNALDA 3
Books (4 + 3 ) / 2 = 5.5
Toys (3 + 4 + 2) / 3 = 3.0
Note: The small dataset only includes 5 categories, so you will only get 5 rows for its output.
Sample Output
To help you evaluate the correctness of your output, we provide you with the output for the small dataset
Note: Please strictly follow the formatting requirements for your output as shown in the small dataset output file. You can use https://www.diffchecker.com/ to make sure the formatting is correct. Improperly formatting outputs may not receive any points.
Using PIG (Read these instructions carefully)
There are two ways to debug PIG on AWS (all instructions are in the AWS Setup Guidelines):
- Use the interactive PIG shell provided by EMR to perform this task from the command line (grunt). Refer to Section 8: Debugging in the AWS Setup
Guidelines for a detailed step-by-step procedure. You should use this method if you are using PIG for the first time as it is easier to debug your code. However, as you need to have a persistent ssh connection to your cluster until your task is complete, this is suitable only for the smaller dataset.
- Upload a PIG script with all the commands which computes and direct the output from the command line into a separate file. Once you verify the output on the smaller dataset, use this method for the larger dataset. You dont have to ssh or stay logged into your account. You can start your EMR job, and come back after when the job is complete!
Note: In summary, verify the output for the smaller dataset with Method 1 and submit the results for the bigger dataset using Method 2.
Sample Commands: Load data in PIG
To load data for the small example use the following command:
grunt> reviews = LOAD s3://amazon-reviews-pds/tsv/amazon_reviews_us_M* AS
(marketplace:chararray,customer_id:chararray,review_id:chararray,product_id:chararray,product_parent:chararray,product_title:c review_date:chararray);
To load data for the large example use the following command:
grunt> reviews = LOAD s3://amazon-reviews-pds/tsv/* AS
(marketplace:chararray,customer_id:chararray,review_id:chararray,product_id:chararray,product_parent:chararray,product_title:c review_date:chararray);
Note:
- Refer to other commands such as LOAD, USING PigStorage, FILTER, GROUP, ORDER BY, FOREACH, GENERATE, LIMIT, STORE, etc.
- Copying the above commands directly from the PDF and pasting on console/script file may lead to script failures due to the stray characters and spaces from the PDF file.
- Your script will fail if your output directory already exists. For instance, if you run a job with the output folder as s3://cse6242oan-<GT account username>/output-small, the next job which you run with the same output folder will fail. Hence, please use a different folder for the output for every run.
- You might also want to change the input data type for star_rating to handle floating point values.
- While working with the interactive shell (or otherwise), you should first test on a small subset of the data instead of the whole data (the whole data is over 100 GB). Once you believe your PIG commands are working as desired, you can use them on the complete data and wait since it will take some time.
Deliverables
- pig-script.txt: The PIG script for the question (using the larger data set). pig-output.txt: Output (tab-separated) (using the larger data set).
Note: Please strictly follow the guidelines below, otherwise your solution may not be graded.
- Ensure that file names (case sensitive) are correct.
- Ensure file extensions (.txt) are correct.
- The size of each pig-script.txt and pig-output.txt file should not exceed 5 KB.
- Double check that you are submitting the correct set of files we only want the script and output from the larger dataset. Also double check that you are writing the right datasets output to the right file.
- You are welcome to store your scripts output in any bucket you choose, as long as you can download and submit the correct files. Ensure that unnecessary new lines, brackets, commas etc. arent in the file.
- Please do not make any manual changes to the output files
Q4 Analyzing a Large Graph using Hadoop on Microsoft Azure
VERY IMPORTANT: Use Firefox or Chrome in incognito/private browsing mode when configuring anything related to Azure (e.g., when using Azure portal), to prevent issues due to browser caches. Safari sometimes loses connections.
Goal
The goal is to analyze graph using a cloud computing service Microsoft Azure, and your task is to write a MapReduce program to compute the distribution of a graphs node degree differences (see example below). Note that this question shares some similarities with Question 1 (e.g., both are analyzing graphs). Question 1 can be completed using your own computer. This question is to be completed using Azure. We recommend that you first complete Question 1. Please carefully read the following instructions.
You will use two data files in this questions:
- tsv[4] (zipped as ~3MB small.zip; ~11MB when unzipped)
- tsv[5] (zipped as 247MB large.zip; ~1GB when unzipped)
Each file stores a list of edges as tab-separated-values. Each line represents a single edge consisting of two columns: (Source, Target), each of which is separated by a tab. Node IDs are positive integers and the rows are already sorted by Source.
Source Target
0 0
- 1
- 1
- 2
- 3
Your code should accept two arguments upon running. The first argument (args[0]) will be a path for the input graph file, and the second argument (args[1]) will be a path for output directory. The default output mechanism of Hadoop will create multiple files on the output directory such as part-00000, part-00001, which will have to be merged and downloaded to a local directory (instructions on how to do this are provided below). The format of the output should be as follows. Each line of your output is of the format diff count
where
- diff is the difference between a nodes out-degree and in-degree (i.e., out-degree minus in-degree); and
- count is the number of nodes that have the value of difference (specified in 1).
The out-degree of a node is the number of edges where that node is the Source. The in-degree of a node is the number of edges where that node is the Target. diff and count must be separated by a tab (t), and the lines do not have to be sorted. When the source and target is the same node, such as [0, 0] in the example, node 0 should be counted in both in-degree and out-degree.
The following result is computed based on the graph above.
-1 1
- 2
- 1
The explanation of the above example result:
Output | Explanation |
-1 1 | There are 1 nodes (node 3) whose degree difference is -1 |
0 2 | There are 2 nodes (node 1 and node 2) whose degree is 0. |
1 1 | There is 1 node (node 0) whose degree difference is 1. |
Hint : One way of doing it is using the mapreduce procedure twice. The first one for finding the difference between out-degree and in-degree for each node, the second for calculating the node count of each degree difference. You will have to make changes in the skeleton code for this.
In the Q4 folder of the hw3-skeleton, you will find the following files we have prepared for you:
- src directory contains a main Java file that you will work on. We have provided some code to help you get started. Feel free to edit it and add your files in the directory, but the main class should be called Q4.
- xml contains necessary dependencies and compile configurations for the question.
To compile, you can run the command in the directory which contains pom.xml. mvn clean package
This command will generate a single JAR file in the target directory (i.e. target/q4-1.0.jar).
Creating Clusters in HDInsight using the Azure portal
Azure HDInsight is an Apache Hadoop distribution. This means that it handles large amounts of data on demand. The next step is to use Azures web-based management tool to create a Linux cluster. Follow the recommended steps shown here (or the full Azures documentation here) to create a new cluster.
At the end of this process, you will have created and provisioned a New HDInsight Cluster and Storage (the provisioning will take some time depending on how many nodes you chose to create). Please record the following important information (we also recommend that you take screenshots) so you can refer to them later:
- Cluster login credentials
- SSH credentials Resource group
- Storage account
- Container credentials
VERY IMPORTANT: HDInsight cluster billing starts once a cluster is created and stops when the cluster is deleted. To save the credit, youd better to delete your cluster when it is no longer in use. You can find all clusters and storages you have created in All resources in the left panel. Please refer here for how to delete an HDInsight cluster.
Uploading data files to HDFS-compatible Azure Blob storage
We have listed the main steps from the documentation for uploading data files to your Azure Blob storage here:
- Follow the documentation here to install Azure CLI.
- Open a command prompt, bash, or other shell, and use az login command to authenticate to your Azure subscription. When prompted, enter the username and password for your subscription.
- az storage account list command will list the storage accounts for your subscription.
- az storage account keys list account-name <storage-account-name> resource-group <resource-group-name> command should return key1 and key2. Copy the value of key1 because it will be used in the next steps.
- az storage container list account-name <storage-account-name> account-key <key1-value> command will list your blob containers.
- az storage blob upload account-name <storage-account-name> account-key <key1-value> file <small or large .tsv> container-name <container-name> name <new-blob-name>/<small or large .tsv> command will upload the source file to your blob storage container. <new-blob-name> is the folder name you will create and where you would like to upload tsv files to. If the file is uploaded successfully, you should see Finished [#####] 100.0000%.
Using these steps, upload small.tsv and large.tsv to your blob storage container. The uploading process may take some time. After that, you can find the uploaded files in storage blobs at Azure (portal.azure.com) by clicking on Storage accounts in the left side menu and navigating through your storage account (<Your Storage Account> -> <Blobs in the overview tab> -> <Select your Blob container to which youve uploaded the dataset> -> <Select the relevant blob folder>). For example, jonDoeStorage -> Blobs -> jondoecluster-xxx -> jdoeSmallBlob -> small.tsv. After that write your hadoop code locally and convert it to a jar file using the steps mentioned above.
Uploading your Jar file to HDFS-compatible Azure Blob storage
Azure Blob storage is a general-purpose storage solution that integrates with HDInsight. Your Hadoop code should directly access files on the Azure Blob storage.
Upload the jar file created in the first step to Azure storage using the following command: scp <your-relative-path>/q4-1.0.jar <ssh-username>@<cluster-name>-ssh.azurehdinsight.net:
You will be asked to agree to connect by typing yes and your cluster login password. Then you will see q4-1.0.jar is uploaded 100%.
SSH into the HDInsight cluster using the following command:
ssh <ssh-username>@<cluster-name>-ssh.azurehdinsight.net
<ssh-username> is what you have created in step 10 in the flow.
Note: if you see the warning REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED, you may clean /home/<user>/.ssh/known_hosts by using the command rm
~/.ssh/known_hosts. Please refer to host identification.
Run the ls command to make sure that the q4-1.0.jar file is present.
To run your code on the small.tsv file, run the following command:
yarn jar q4-1.0.jar edu.gatech.cse6242.Q4 wasbs://<container-name>@<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<new-blob-name>/small.tsv wasbs://<containername>@<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/smalloutput
Command format: yarn jar jarFile packageName.ClassName dataFileLocation outputDirLocation
Note: if Exception in thread main org.apache.hadoop.mapred.FileAlreadyExistsException occurs, you need to delete the output folder and files from your Blob. You can do this at portal.azure.com. Click All resources in the left panel, you will see you storage and cluster. Click your storage, then Blobs and then your container, you will see all folders including the blob created by you and the smalloutput folder. You need to click Load more at the bottom to see all folders/files. You need to delete output at different places: 1. smalloutput; 2. user/sshuser/*
The output will be located in the directory: wasbs://<container-name>@<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/smalloutput If there are multiple output files, merge the files in this directory using the following command: hdfs dfs -cat wasbs://<container-name>@<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/smalloutput/* > small.out
Command format: hdfs dfs -cat location/* >outputFile Then you may exit to your local machine using the command: exit
You can download the merged file to the local machine (this can be done either from Azure Portal or by using the scp command from the local machine). Here is the scp command for downloading this output file to your local machine: scp <ssh-username>@<cluster-name>-ssh.azurehdinsight.net:/home/<ssh-username>/small.out <local directory>
Using the above command from your local machine will download the small.out file into the local directory. Repeat this process for large.tsv. Make sure your output file has exactly two columns of values as shown above. Your output files should be able to be opened and readable in text editors like notepad++.
Deliverables
- [15pt] java & q4-1.0.jar: Your java code and converted jar file. You should implement your own map/reduce procedure and should not import external graph processing library.
- [10pt] out: the output file generated after processing small.tsv.
- [10pt] out: the output file generated after processing large.tsv.
