MapReduce Tester: A Quick Word

In my previous post I talked a little about testing the Hadoop Streaming F# MapReduce code; but it is worth saying a few words about the tester application.

The complete code for this blog post and the F# MapReduce code can be found at:

As mentioned Unit Testing the individual map and Reduce functions is relatively straight forward. However performing testing on sample input data is a little trickier. As such I put together a tester application that performs the following functions:

Defines and executes a Process for the Mapper executable in which
- The StdIn is modified to be the file specified in the “–input” command line argument
- the StdOut is modified to be a file with a “mapper” extension
When the Mapper has completed, Sorts the output file from the Mapper into a file with a “reducer” extension
When the Sort is complete, defines and executes a Process for the Reducer executable in which
- The StdIn is modified to be the sorted “reducer” file
- The StdOut is modified to be the file specified in the “–output” command line argument

Running the Tester application allows one to check inputs and outputs, in a flow similar to running within Hadoop. The code listing for the tester application is:

namespace FSharp.HadoopTester

                reader.Close()

            let taskReducerWriting = Task.Factory.StartNew(Action(taskReducerFunc))

            // Pass the file into the mapper process and close input stream when done
            use reducerReader = new StreamReader(File.OpenRead(reducefile))
            while not reducerReader.EndOfStream do
                reducerInput.WriteLine(reducerReader.ReadLine())

            reducerInput.Close()
            taskReducerWriting.Wait()
            reducerOutput.Close()

reducer.WaitForExit()
let result = match reducer.ExitCode with | 0 -> true | _ -> false

        // Finish test
        if mapperProcess() then
            Console.WriteLine "Mapper Processing Complete..."

hadoopProcess()
Console.WriteLine "Hadoop Processing Complete..."

if reducerProcess() then
Console.WriteLine "Reducer Processing Complete..."

                Console.WriteLine "Processing Complete..."

        Console.ReadLine() |> ignore

The input options for the console tester application are:

input – Used to specify the input file for processing
output – The file to be used to save the results
tempPath – A directory used to save intermediate results and for sorting
mapper – The mapper executable to run
reducer – The reducer executable to run

To run the mapper and reducer A Process is defined. The ProcessStartInfo is defined such that both the Standard Input and Outputs are redirected.

To input data into the mapper one just has to open the file and pass into the mapper StandardInput.

use mapperInput = mapper.StandardInput

use mapperReader = new StreamReader(File.OpenRead(inputfile))
while not mapperReader.EndOfStream do
mapperInput.WriteLine(mapperReader.ReadLine())

The important thing to remember is that one needs to process the StandardOuput from the mapper on a separate thread. This is achieved using a Task:

use mapperOutput = mapper.StandardOutput

let taskMapperFunc() =
    use mapperWriter = File.CreateText(mappedfile)
    while not mapperOutput.EndOfStream do
        mapperWriter.WriteLine(mapperOutput.ReadLine())
let taskMapperWriting = Task.Factory.StartNew(Action(taskMapperFunc))

Before waiting for the mapper executable to exit one will need to Close() the mapper input stream, ensure that the task processing the StandardOuput is completed, and finally Close() the mapper output stream.

mapperInput.Close()
taskMapperWriting.Wait()
mapperOutput.Close()

mapper.WaitForExit()
let result = match mapper.ExitCode with | 0 -> true | _ -> false

mapper.Close()

In the input arguments a temp directory is specified. It is this directory that is used to save the output of the mapper. It is this file that is then sorted using the key value:

let unsortedValues = seq {
    use reader = new StreamReader(File.OpenRead(mappedfile))
    while not reader.EndOfStream do
        let input = reader.ReadLine()
        let keyValue = input.Split('\t')
        yield (keyValue.[0].Trim(), keyValue.[1].Trim())
    reader.Close()
    }

use writer = File.CreateText(reducefile)
unsortedValues
|> Seq.sortBy fst
|> Seq.iter (fun (key, value) -> writer.WriteLine (sprintf "%O\t%O" key value))
writer.Close()

Finally the output from the sort process is passed into the reducer. The process for calling the reducer executable is very similar to that of calling the mapper executable; including ensureing that StandardOuput is processed on a separate processing thread.

In writing the tester application the key factors in getting the processing working are to remember to process the StandardOutput on a separate processing thread and ensure the streams are closed in the correct order so one can determine the outcome of the mapper and reducer executable calls. Other than this the a tester for any MapReduce should be easy to write.
