This repository contains several sample applications that show how you can use Spring for Apache Hadoop.
|
Note
|
These samples are built using version 2.2.0.RELEASE of Spring for Apache Hadoop project. For examples built against older versions check out the Git "tag" that corresponds to your desired version. |
Hadoop has a poor out of the box programming model. Writing applications for Hadoop generally turn into a collection of scripts calling Hadoop command line applications. Spring for Apache Hadoop provides a consistent programming model and declarative configuration model for developing Hadoop applications.
Together with Spring Integration and Spring Batch, Spring for Apache Hadoop can be used to address a wide range of use cases
-
HDFS data access and scripting
-
Data Analysis
-
MapReduce
-
Pig
-
Hive
-
-
Workflow
-
Data collection and ingestion
-
Event Streams processing
-
Declarative configuration to create, configure, and parameterize Hadoop connectivity and all job types (MR/Streaming MR/Pig/Hive/Cascading)
-
Simplify HDFS API with added support for JVM scripting languages
-
Runner classes for MR/Pig/Hive/Cascading for small workflows consisting of the following steps HDFS operations → data analysis → HDFS operations
-
Helper “Template” classes for Pig/Hive/HBase
-
Execute scripts and queries without worrying about Resource Management Exception Handling and Translation
-
Thread-safety
-
-
Lightweight Object-Mapping for HBase
-
Hadoop components for Spring Integratio and Spring Batch
-
Spring Batch tasklets for HDFS and data analysis
-
Spring Batch HDFS ItemWriters
-
Spring Integration HDFS channel adapters
-
Many of the samples were taken from the O’Reilly book Spring Data. Using the book as a companion to the samples is quite helpful to understanding the samples and the full feature set of what can be done using Spring technologies and Hadoop.
