PARTNER SOLUTION BRIEF
CLOUDERA AND PERVASIVE
The Problem:
Hadoop and the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) provide a reliable and scalable
solution on inexpensive commodity servers. As Hadoop-based solutions have migrated into
production, the very real requirement to increase performance and reduce operational cost is
beginning to surface.
Hive was created to allow Hadoop users to express queries in a familiar, high-level language
without having to directly write MapReduce programs. Hive and Hadoop continue to excel in
scalability, handling thousands of nodes and petabytes of data.
However, there still exists the challenge of improving performance and operational efficiency.
Pervasive DataRush delivers a fast and easy solution that allows you to extract considerably
greater performance out of your current cluster, reduce the number of machines in your cluster,
and increase the workload capacity and run more queries or perform deeper analysis.
The Solution:
Pervasive DataRush is a leader in delivering increased performance with less hardware.
Pervasive DataRush and Hadoop
Adding Pervasive DataRush to Hadoop can boost performance by more than 4x. What you do
with that level of performance is up to you.
• Run your Hadoop jobs on 1⁄4 of the hardware, which is both cheaper and greener
• Run more jobs and perform deeper analysis
Pervasive DataRush integrates with Hadoop in several ways, depending on your needs. If you
already have an established Hadoop cluster and are using MapReduce, you can call Pervasive
DataRush from your Map and Reduce functions, allowing each mapper and reducer to fully use
the parallelism of multicore processors. You could see a 4x improvement in performance.
You can also integrate Pervasive DataRush with the data in HDFS, as an alternative to using
the MapReduce model. The operators and convenience methods provided by the Pervasive
DataRush-Hadoop library are optimized for HDFS. They take full advantage of Pervasive
DataRush parallelism. Using this method, you could see up to 13x improvement in
performance.
Pervasive TurboRush for Hive
If you use Hive to interface to Hadoop, simply add Pervasive TurboRush for Hive, and your
Hive queries will run faster AND require fewer resources.
• No learning curve – just drop it in
• Preserve your HiveQL development investment
In normal operation, when Apache Hive receives an SQL query, it parses the query, creates a
query execution plan as a series of MapReduce tasks, and runs the plan. Pervasive TurboRush
allows Hive to generate an execution plan using efficient dataflow graphs as an alternative to
MapReduce. It then executes these graphs using Pervasive DataRush distributed across the
machines of the cluster. Once installed, it is completely transparent to the user and can result in
substantial performance gains.
