Question #1 

You have written a MapReduce job that will process 500 million input records and generate 500 million key-value pairs. The data is not uniformly distributed. Your MapReduce job will create a significant amount of intermediate data that it needs to transfer between mappers and reducers which is a potential bottleneck. A custom implementation of which of the following interfaces is most likely to reduce the amount of intermediate data transferred across the network?



A. Writable
B. WritableComparable
C. InputFormat
D. OutputFormat
E. Combiner
F. Partitioner
Ans: e




Question #2 

Where is Hive metastore stored by default ?


A. In HDFS
B. In client machine in the form of a flat file.
C. In client machine in a derby database
D. In lib directory of HADOOP_HOME, and requires HADOOP_CLASSPATH to be modified.

How to Use Python Try and Except Logic Correctly

In Python, using the Try and Except logic, you can avoid exceptions. Error-free programs save a lot of time. So it reduces defects in the production.

How to Use Python Try and Except Logic Correctly


In Python what to do if specific errors occur is handled by using TRY and EXCEPT.  For this, you need to write some logic to handle this. If the programmer did not do this, then the default is for Python to print an error message and stops execution. 


So the responsibility of a programmer is upfront he/she has to find errors and to handle them correctly. This is possible if you use the TRY and EXCEPT.


Python Syntax for Try and Except.


try:
      c = a/b
except:
      c = 1000000

How 'Try' works here. The above syntax says that the Try ends with ':'. That means, in Python, that is the block of Try.
  • The programmer's logic comes in the Try block.
  • The Except: is another block. That means in this block programmer can specify some value. And that value populates when any error happens.

So far so good.


Try and Except Examples.

Example: 1

Below is the example to give the expected error in except.

try:
      c = a/b
except ZeroDivisionError:
      c = 1000000


You can specify error name in Except: When the error is other than this the 'C' will be assigned as '1000000'.


Example: 2

Below is the example to give more than one expected error in except.

try:
      c = a/b
except (ValueError, ZeroDivisionError):
      c = 1000000


Also, there can be many except statements associated with a single try:

Example: 3


Below is the example to give more than one except.
try:
      c = a/b
except ValueError:
    c = 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
      c = 1000000


And, as was mentioned, a variable can hold the value of the error to be caught:

Example: 4

Below is the example to assign an expected error to a variable.

k = ZeroDivisionError
try:
      c = a/b
except k:
      c = 1000000


If we left out the exception name, any exception that occurs will be caught and the exception code will be executed:


try:
      c = a/b
except:
      c = 0

AWS Vs Azure Load Balancers Top Insights

Image
Amazon Web Services has three types of load balancers. And Azure is having two types of load balancers. This post tells you the top comparison between these two load balancers.


Amazon Web Services Load Balancer Types
Application Load balancer Network Load balancer Classic Load balancers.
Application Load Balancer

Balancing of HTTP and HTTPS traffic and provides advanced request routing targeted at the delivery of modern application architectures, including microservices and containers. 

Operating at the individual request level (Layer 7), Application Load Balancer routes traffic to targets within Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) based on the content of the request.

Network Load Balancer
 Network Load Balancer is best suited for load balancing of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Transport Layer Security (TLS) traffic where extreme performance is required.

Classic Load BalancerClassic Load Balancer provides basic load balancing across multiple Amazo…

Hadoop File System Basic Commands

Image
List of basic commands to execute on the Hadoop File system given in this post. These are handy commands. Basically, you always need to remember.





The Syntax for Command and the List and Usage.
Hadoop fs -cmd <args>

cmd is a specific command and arg is the variable name.

cat

Hadoop fs –cat FILE [FILE …]

Displays the files' content. For reading compressed files.




chgrp

Hadoop fs –chgrp [-R] GROUP PATH [PATH …]

Changes the group association for files and directories. The – R option applies the change recursively. The user must be the files' owner or a superuser.



chmod



Hadoop fs –chmod [-R] MODE[,MODE …] PATH [PATH …]

Changes the permissions of files and directories. Like, its Unix equivalent, MODE can be a 3-digit octal mode, or {augo}+/-{rwxX}. The -R option applies the change recursively. The user must be the files' owner or a superuser.



chown



Hadoop fs –chown [-R] [OWNER][:[GROUP]] PATH [PATH…]



Changes the ownership of files and directories. The –R option applies the …
