Adding Search to the Hadoop Ecosystem

Gregory Chanan (gchanan AT cloudera.com) Frontier Meetup Dec 2013

Agenda

• Big Data and Search – setting the stage

• Cloudera Search Architecture

• Component deep dive

• Security

• Conclusion

Why Search?

• Hadoop for everyone

• Typical case:

• Ingest data to storage engine (HDFS, HBase, etc)

• Process data (MapReduce, Hive, Impala)

• Experts know MapReduce

• Savvy people know SQL

• Everyone knows Search!

Why Search?

An Integrated Part of the Hadoop System

One pool of data

One security framework

One set of system resources

One management interface

Benefits of Search

• Improved Big Data ROI

• An interactive experience without technical knowledge

• Single data set for multiple computing frameworks

• Faster time to insight

• Exploratory analysis, esp. unstructured data

• Broad range of indexing options to accommodate needs

• Cost efficiency

• Single scalable platform; no incremental investment

• No need for separate systems, storage

What is Cloudera Search?

• Full-text, interactive search with faceted navigation

• Apache Solr integrated with CDH

• Established, mature search with vibrant community

• In production environments for years

• Open Source

• 100% Apache, 100% Solr

• Standard Solr APIs

• Batch, near real-time, and on-demand indexing

• Generally Available; released 1.1 last month

Cloudera Search Components

• HDFS/MR/Lucene/Solr/SolrCloud

• Indexing

• Near Real Time (NRT) indexing

• Batch

• ETL – Cloudera Morphlines

• Querying

Apache Hadoop

• Apache HDFS

• Distributed file system

• High reliability

• High throughput

• Apache MapReduce

• Parallel, distributed programming model

• Allows processing of large datasets

• Fault tolerant

Apache Lucene

• Full text search

• Indexing

• Query

• Traditional inverted index

• Batch and Incremental indexing

• We are using version 4.4 in current release

Apache Solr

• Search service built using Lucene

• Ships with Lucene (same TLP at Apache)

• Provides XML/HTTP/JSON/Python/Ruby/… APIs

• Indexing

• Query

• Administrative interface

• Also rich web admin GUI via HTTP

Apache SolrCloud

• Provides distributed Search capability

• Part of Solr (not a separate library/codebase)

• Shards – provide scalability

• partition index for size

• replicate for query performance

• Uses ZooKeeper for coordination

• No split-brain issues

• Simplifies operations

SolrCloud Architecture

• Updates automatically sent to the correct shard

• Replicas handle queries, forward updates to the leader

• Leader indexes the document for the shard, and forwards the index notation to itself and any replicas.

Apache Flume - MorphlineSolrSink

• A Flume Source… • Receives/gathers events

• A Flume Channel… • Carries the event – MemoryChannel or reliable FileChannel

• A Flume Sink… • Sends the events on to the next location

• Flume MorphlineSolrSink • Integrates Cloudera Morphlines library

• ETL, more on that in a bit

• Does batching

• Results sent to Solr for indexing

Lily HBase Indexer

• Collaboration between NGData & Cloudera

• NGData are creators of the Lily data management platform

• Lily HBase Indexer

• Service which acts as a HBase replication listener • HBase replication features, such as filtering, supported

• Replication updates trigger indexing of updates (rows)

• Integrates Cloudera Morphlines library for ETL of rows

• AL2 licensed on github https://github.com/ngdata

HDFS

Solr and MapReduce • Flexible, scalable batch

indexing • Start serving new indices

with no downtime • On-demand indexing, cost-

efficient re-indexing

MapReduce Indexer

MapReduce Job with two parts

1) Scan HDFS for files to be indexed

• Much like Unix “find” – see HADOOP-8989

• Output is NLineInputFormat’ed file

2) Mapper/Reducer indexing step

• Mapper extracts content via Cloudera Morphlines

• Reducer indexes documents via embedded Solr server

• Originally based on SOLR-1301 • Many modifications to enable linear scalability

MapReduce Indexer “golive”

• Cloudera created this to bridge the gap between NRT (low latency, expensive) and Batch (high latency, cheap at scale) indexing

• Results of MR indexing operation are immediately merged into a live SolrCloud serving cluster

• No downtime for users

• No NRT expense

• Linear scale out to the size of your MR cluster

HBase + MapReduce

• New in search 1.1: run MapReduce job over HBase tables

• Same architecture as running over HDFS

• Similar to HBase’s CopyTable,

Cloudera Morphlines

• Open Source framework for simple ETL

• Simplify ETL • Built-in commands and library support (Avro format, Hadoop

SequenceFiles, grok for syslog messages)

• Configuration over coding

• Standardize ETL

• Ships as part of Kite SDK, formerly Cloudera Developer Kit (CDK)

• It’s a Java library

• AL2 licensed on github https://github.com/kite-sdk

Anything you want to index

Flume, MR Indexer, HBase indexer, etc... Or your application!

Morphline Library

Morphlines can be embedded in any application…

Extraction and Mapping

• Modeled after Unix pipelines

• Simple and flexible data transformation

• Reusable across multiple index workloads

• Over time, extend and re-use across platform workloads

Morphline Example – syslog with grok

morphlines : [ { id : morphline1 importCommands : ["com.cloudera.**", "org.apache.solr.**"] commands : [ { readLine {} } { grok { dictionaryFiles : [/tmp/grok-dictionaries] expressions : { message : """<%{POSINT:syslog_pri}>%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog_hostname} %{DATA:syslog_program}(?:\[%{POSINT:syslog_pid}\])?: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog_message}""" } } } { loadSolr {} } ] } ]

Example Input <164>Feb 4 10:46:14 syslog sshd[607]: listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22 Output Record syslog_pri:164 syslog_timestamp:Feb 4 10:46:14 syslog_hostname:syslog syslog_program:sshd syslog_pid:607 syslog_message:listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

Querying

• Built-in solr web UI

• Write your own

• Hue

Simple, Customizable Search Interface

Hue • Simple UI • Navigated, faceted drill

down • Customizable display • Full text search,

standard Solr API and query language

Security

• Upstream Solr doesn’t deal with security

• Search 1.0 supports kerberos authentication

• Similar to Oozie / WebHDFS

• Search 1.1 supports index-level authorization via Apache Sentry (incubating)

Index-Level Authorization

• Sentry works via “policy files” stored in HDFS

• Can grant roles administrative-only, query-only, update-only access

• Example:

[groups]

# Assigns each Hadoop group to its set of roles

dev_ops = engineer_role, ops_role

[roles]

engineer_role = collection = source_code->action=* ops_role = collection = hbase_logs->action=Query

Index-Level Authorization 2

• Works by hooking into Solr RequestHandlers: <requestHandler name="/update“ class="solr.UpdateRequestHandler">

<lst name="defaults“>

<str name="update.chain">updateIndexAuthorization</str>

</lst>

</requestHandler>

• Also includes secure impersonation support

• Unauthorized attempts get a 401 response and are written to the solr log

• Future work: more fine grain authorization
