The First Class Integration of Solr with Hadoop
13 likes10,572 views
Mark Miller, a Cloudera employee and Lucene/Solr committer, discusses the integration of Solr with Hadoop, focusing on how Solr operates efficiently with Hadoop's HDFS for scaling, replication, and indexing. The document highlights the collaborative efforts to create high-quality integrations between these systems, emphasizing features like SolrCloud, MapReduce index building, and Flume for data synchronization. Future plans include enhancing Solr replication capabilities on HDFS and improving the overall usability and performance of the system.

The First Class Integration of Solr with Hadoop
- 2. THE FIRST CLASS INTEGRATION OF SOLR WITH HADOOP Mark Miller (Cloudera)
- 3. WHO AM I? Cloudera employee, Lucene/Solr committer, Lucene PMC member, Apache member ! First job out of college was in the Newspaper archiving business. ! First full time employee at LucidWorks - a startup around Lucene/Solr. ! Spent a couple years as “Core” engineering manager, reporting to the VP of engineering.
- 4. • Very fast and feature rich ‘core’ search engine library. • Compact and powerful, Lucene is an extremely popular full-text search library. • Provides low level API’s for analyzing, indexing, and searching text, along with a myriad of related features. ! ! ! • Just the core - either you write the ‘glue’ or use a higher level search engine built with Lucene.
- 5. • Solr (pronounced "solar") is an open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project. Its major features include full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, database integration, and rich document (e.g., Word, PDF) handling. Providing distributed search and index replication, Solr is highly scalable. Solr is the most popular enterprise search engine. - Wikipedia
- 6. SEARCH ON HADOOP HISTORY • • • • • • • Katta Blur SolBase HBASE-3529 SOLR-1301 SOLR-1045 Ad-Hoc
- 7. ...
- 8. THE PLAN: STRENGTHEN THE FAMILY BONDS • No need to build something radically new - we have the pieces we need. • Focus on integration points. • Create high quality, first class integrations and contribute the work to the projects involved. ! ! ! • Focus on integration and quality first - then performance and scale.
- 9. SOLRCLOUD
- 10. SOLR INTEGRATION • Read and Write directly to HDFS • • First Class Custom Directory Support in Solr Support Solr Replication on HDFS • Other improvements around usability and configuration ! !
- 11. READ AND WRITE DIRECTLY TO HDFS • Lucene did not historically support append only file system • “Flexible Indexing” brought around support for append only filesystem support • Lucene support append only filesystem by default since 4.2 ! !
- 12. LUCENE DIRECTORY ABSTRACTION • • It’s how Lucene interacts with index files. Solr uses the Lucene library and offers DirectoryFactory ! • • • • • • • • Class Directory { listAll(); createOutput(file, context); openInput(file, context); deleteFile(file); makeLock(file); clearLock(file); …
- 13. PUTTING THE INDEX IN HDFS • Solr relies on the filesystem cache to operate at full speed. • HDFS not known for it’s random access speed. • Apache Blur has already solved this with an HdfsDirectory that works on top of a BlockDirectory. ! ! ! • The “block cache” caches the hot blocks of the index off heap (direct byte array) and takes the place of the filesystem cache. ! • We contributed back optional ‘write’ caching. ! !
- 14. PUTTING THE TRANSACTIONLOG IN HDFS • HdfsUpdateLog added - extends UpdateLog • Triggered by setting the UpdateLog dataDir to something that starts with hdfs:/ - no additional configuration necessary. ! ! • Same extensive testing as used on UpdateLog
- 15. RUNNING SOLR ON HDFS • Set DirectoryFactory to HdfsDirectoryFactory and set the dataDir to a location in hdfs. ! • Set LockType to ‘hdfs’ • Use an UpdateLog dataDir location that begins with ‘hdfs:/’ • • • Or java -Dsolr.directoryFactory=HdfsDirectoryFactory -Dsolr.lockType=solr.HdfsLockFactory -Dsolr.updatelog=hdfs://host:port/path -jar start.jar ! !
- 16. SOLR REPLICATION ON HDFS ! • While Solr has exposed a plug-able DirectoryFactory for a long time now, it was really quite limited. ! • Most glaring, only a local file system based Directory would work with replication. • There where also other more minor areas that relied on a local filesystem Directory implementation. !
- 17. FUTURE SOLR REPLICATION ON HDFS • Take advantage of “distributed filesystem” and allow for something similar to HBase regions. ! • If a node goes down, the data is still available in HDFS - allow for that index to be automatically served by a node that is still up if it has the capacity. Solr Node Solr Node Solr Node HDFS
- 18. • Leader reads and writes index files to HDFS • Replicas only read from HDFS, write to /dev/null Leader Replica HDFS Replica
- 19. MAP REDUCE INDEX BUILDING • Scalable index creation via map-reduce • Many initial ‘homegrown’ implementations sent documents from reducer to SolrCloud over http ! ! • To really scale, you want the reducers to create the indexes in HDFS and then load them up with Solr ! • The ideal impl will allow using as many reducers as are available in your hadoop cluster, and then merge the indexes down to the correct number of ‘shards’
- 20. MR INDEX BUILDING Mapper: Parse input Mapper: Parse input Mapper: Parse input Arbitrary reducing steps of indexing and merging End-Reducer End-Reducer Index Index
- 21. SOLRCLOUD AWARE • Can ‘inspect’ ZooKeeper to learn about Solr cluster. • What URL’s to GoLive to. • The Schema to use when building indexes. • Match hash -> shard assignments of a Solr cluster. ! ! !
- 22. GOLIVE ! • • • • After building your indexes with map-reduce, how do you deploy them to your Solr cluster? We want it to be easy - so we built the GoLive option. GoLive allows you to easily merge the indexes you have created atomically into a live running Solr cluster. Paired with the ZooKeeper Aware ability, this allows you to simply point your map-reduce job to your Solr cluster and it will automatically discover how many shards to build and what locations to deliver the final indexes to in HDFS.
- 23. FLUME SOLR SYNC • Flume is a distributed, reliable, and available service for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of log data. It has a simple and flexible architecture based on streaming data flows. It is robust and fault tolerant with tunable reliability mechanisms and many failover and recovery mechanisms. It uses a simple extensible data model that allows for online analytic application.
- 25. SOLRCLOUD AWARE • Can ‘inspect’ ZooKeeper to learn about Solr cluster. • What URL’s to send data to. • The Schema for the collection being indexed to. ! !
