This Repo implements Mapreduce Paper in Python.

Master and Worker Communicates with each other via RPyC.

Users need to write their Map Reduce Program and put that in mrapps directory. The user program should implement two functions, mapper and reducer to perform map and reduce tasks respectively. mrapps directory contains a sample word_count.py which counts frequency of words.

Once Map Reduce Program is ready and tested, then it needs to be serialized so that it can be distributed to workers.

create_pickle.py script can be used to serialize a map reduce program. Below command shows how to do it.

singhpradeepk:mapreduce$ python3 create_pickle.py --help
usage: Pickle Creator [-h] --mapr-app MAPR_APP [--pickle-file-path PICKLE_FILE_PATH]

Create the pickle file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --mapr-app MAPR_APP   Name of the python file in directory mrapps without .py extension
  --pickle-file-path PICKLE_FILE_PATH
                        Path of the pickled map reduce job file
singhpradeepk:mapreduce $


python3 create_pickle.py --mapr-app word_count --pickle-file-path ./pickled_mrapps/

Program can be run by using run.sh script. Before running value of variable PICKLE_FILE in run.sh should be changed to serialized map reduce program pickle file. Currently all master and workers are running on same machine inside different processes.

bash run.sh

• Heartbeat check - Master Keep checking heartbeat of workers periodically. If Any worker dies it reschedule the job to another worker.

• Restarting Job - If any worker dies after processing a mapper task, then Master will restart whole job again.
