Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks Samples

The Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks provides samples based on common Hadoop use cases.
The Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks includes samples for the following use cases:

Running common tutorial mappings on Hadoop.

Performing data discovery on Hadoop.

Performing data warehouse optimization.

Processing complex files.

Working with NoSQL databases.

After you run the mappings in the Developer tool, you can monitor the mapping jobs in the Administrator tool.

Running Common Tutorial Mappings on Hadoop

Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks provides a sample tutorial mapping that reads text files and counts how often
words occur. The word count mappings appear in the Hadoop_tutorial project in the Developer tool. After you open a
mapping, you can right-click the mapping to run the mapping on Hadoop.
The Hadoop_tutorial project contains the following sample mappings:
m_DataLoad_1
m_DataLoad_1 loads data from the READ_WordFile1 flat file from your machine to the
WRITE_HDFSWordFile1 flat file on HDFS.
The following image shows the mapping m_DataLoad_1:

m_DataLoad_2
m_DataLoad_2 loads data from the READ_WordFile2 flat file from your machine to the
WRITE_HDFSWordFile2 file on HDFS.

The following image shows the mapping m_DataLoad_2:

m_WordCount
m_WordCount reads two source files from HDFS and parses the data and the output to a flat file on HDFS.
The following image shows the mapping m_WordCount:

The mapping contains the following objects:

Sources. HDFS files.

Expression transformations. Removes the carriage return and new line characters from a word.

Union transformation. Forms a collective data set.

Aggregator transformation. Counts the occurrence of each word in the mapping.

Target. Flat file on HDFS.

Performing Data Discovery on Hadoop

Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks provides samples that you can use to discover data on Hadoop and run and
create profiles on the data. After you open the profile, you can right-click the profile to run the profile. Running a profile
on any data source in the enterprise gives you a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of its data and
metadata.
The DataDiscovery project in the Developer tool includes the following samples that you can use to perform data
discovery on Hadoop:

CustomerData. Flat file data source that includes customer information.

Profile_CustomerData. Profiles the customer data to determine the characteristics of the customer data.

Use the samples to understand how to perform data discovery on Hadoop. You want to discover the quality of the
source customer data in the CustomerData flat file before you use the customer data as a source in a mapping. You

should verify the quality of the customer data to determine whether the data is ready for processing. You can run the
Profile_CustomerData profile based on the source data to determine the characteristics of the customer data.
The profile determines the characteristics of columns in a data source, such as value frequencies, unique values, null
values, patterns, and statistics.
The profile determines the following characteristics of source data:

The number of unique and null values in each column, expressed as a number and percentage.

The patterns of data in each column and the frequencies with which these values occur.

Statistics about the column values, such as the maximum value length, minimum value length, first value, and
last value in each column.

The data types of the values in each column.

The following figure shows the profile results that you can analyze to determine the characteristics of the customer
data:

Performing Data Warehouse Optimization

You can optimize an enterprise data warehouse with the Hadoop system to store more terabytes of data cheaply in the
warehouse. Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks provides samples that demonstrate how to perform data
warehouse optimization on Hadoop.
The DataWarehouseOptimization project in the Developer Tool includes samples that you can use to perform data
warehouse optimization on Hadoop.
Use the samples to analyze customer portfolios by processing the records that have changed in a 24 hour time period.
You can offload the data on Hadoop, find the customer records that have been inserted, deleted, and updated in the
last 24 hours, and then update those records in your data warehouse. You can capture these changes even if the
number of columns change or if the keys change in the source files.
To capture the changes, use the Data Warehouse Optimization workflow. The workflow contains mappings that move
the data from local flat files to HDFS, identify the changes, and then load the final output to flat files.
The following image shows the sample Data Warehouse Optimization workflow:

To run the workflow, enter the following command to run the workflow from the command line:
./infacmd.sh
wfs
startWorkflow
-dn infa_domain -sn infa_dis
-un Administrator -pd
Administrator -Application App_DataWarehouseOptimization -wf wf_DataWarehouseOptimization
To run the mappings in the workflow, open a mapping and right-click the mapping to run the mapping.
The workflow contains the following mappings and transformations:
Mapping_Day1
The workflow object Mapping_Day1 reads customer data from flat files in a local file system and writes to an
HDFS target for the first 24-hour period.
Mapping_Day2
The workflow object Mapping_Day 2 reads customer data from flat files in a local file system and writes to an
HDFS target for the next 24-hour period.
m_CDC_DWHOptimization
The workflow object m_CDC_DWHOptimization captures the changed data. It reads data from HDFS and
identifies the data that has changed. To increase performance, you can configure the mapping to run on
Hadoop cluster nodes in a Hive environment.
The following image shows the mapping m_CDC_DWHOptimization:

The mapping contains the following objects:

10

Sources. HDFS files that were the targets of the previous two mappings. The Data Integration Service
reads all of the data as a single column.

Expression transformations. Extract a key from the non-key values in the data. The expressions use the
INSTR function and SUBSTR function to perform the extraction of key values.

Joiner transformation. Performs a full outer join on the two sources based on the keys generated by the
Expression transformations.

Filter transformations. Use the output of the Joiner transformation to filter rows based on whether or not
the rows should be updated, deleted, or inserted.

Targets. HDFS files. The Data Integration Service writes the data to three HDFS files based on whether
the data is inserted, deleted, or updated.

Consolidated_Mapping
The workflow object Consolidated_Mapping consolidates the data in the HDFS files and loads the data to the
data warehouse.
The following figure shows the mapping Consolidated_Mapping:

The mapping contains the following objects:

Sources. The HDFS files that were the target of the previous mapping are the sources of this mapping.

Expression transformations. Add the deleted, updated, or inserted tags to the data rows.

Union transformation. Combines the records.

Target. Flat file that acts as a staging location on the local file system.

Processing Complex Files

Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks provides samples to process large volumes of data from complex files that
contain unstructured data. The data might be on the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) or on your local file
system.
Big Data Trial Sandbox includes samples that demonstrate the following use cases to process complex files:

Reading and parsing complex files.

Writing to complex files.

Reading and Parsing Complex Files

Capturing and analyzing unstructured or semi-structured data such as web traffic records is a challenge because of the
volume of data involved. Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks provides samples to read and process semistructured or unstructured data in complex files.
The LogProcessing project in the Developer tool includes samples that you can use to read and parse complex files.
Use the samples to process daily web logs from an online trading site and write the parsed data to a flat file. The web
logs contain details about visitors who log in to the website and look up the value of stocks using stock symbols.
To process the web logs, use the web log processing workflow.

11

The following image shows the sample web log processing workflow:

To run the workflow, enter the following command to run the workflow from the command line:
./infacmd.sh
wfs
startWorkflow
-dn infa_domain -sn infa_dis
Administrator -Application app_logProcessing -wf wf_LogProcessing

-un Administrator -pd

To run the mappings in the workflow, open a mapping and right-click the mapping to run the mapping.
You can run the following mappings and transformations in the workflow:
m_LoadData
The workflow object m_LoadData reads the parsed web log data and writes to a flat file target. The source
and target are flat files.
The following image shows the mapping m_LoadData:

m_sample_weblog_parsing
The workflow object m_sample_weblog_parsing is a logical data object read mapping reads data from a
HDFS source, parse the data using a Data Processor transformation, and writes to a logical data object.

12

The following image shows the mapping m_sample_weblog_parsing:

The following image shows the expanded logical data object read mapping m_sample_weblog_parsing:

The mapping contains the following objects:

Data Processor transformation. Processes the input binary stream of data, parses the data, and writes to
XML format.

Joiner transformation. Combines the activity of visitors who return to the website on the same day with
stock queries.

Expression transformation. Adds the current date to each transformed record.

Target. Flat file.

Writing to Complex Files

Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks provides samples to read, parse, and write large volumes of unstructured data
to complex files.
The Complex_File_Writer project in the Developer tool includes samples that you can use to write unstructured data
to complex files.
Use the samples to generate a report in XML format of the sales by country for each customer. You know the customer
purchase order details such as customer ID, product names, and item quantity sold. The purchase order details are
stored in semi-structured compressed XML files in HDFS. Create a mapping that reads all the customer purchase
records from the files in HDFS and use a Data Processor transformation to process the sales by country for each
customer. The mapping converts the semi-structured data to relational data and writes it to a relational target.

13

The following figure shows the Complex File Writer sample mapping:

The mapping contains the following objects:

HDFS inputs
The inputs, Read_customers_flatfile, Read_products_flatfile, Read_sales_flatfile, Read_promotions_flatfile,
Read_countries_flatfile are flat files stored in HDFS.
Transformations

The Joiner transformation Joiner_products joins product and sales data.

The Joiner transformation Joiner_promotions joins sales and promotion data.

The Data Processor transformation, customer_sales_xml_generator, provides a binary, hierarchical output

for sales by country for each customer.

HDFS output
The output, Write_binary_single_file, is a complex file stored in HDFS.

Working with NoSQL Databases

Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks provides samples that demonstrate how to read from and write to NoSQL
databases. You can run the sample mappings to understand the simple extract, transform, and load scenarios when
you use a NoSQL database.
Big Data Trial Sandbox for Hortonworks provides samples for the following NoSQL database:

14

HBase

HBase
Use HBase when you need random real-time read and writes from a database. HBase is a non-relational distributed
database that runs on top of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and can store sparse data. Big Data Trial
Sandbox for Hortonworks provides samples that demonstrate how to read and process binary data from HBase.
The HBase_Binary_Data project in the Developer tool includes samples that you can use to read and process binary
data in HBase tables to string data in a flat file target.
The sample HBase table contains the details of people and the cars that they purchased over a period of time. The
table contains the Details and Cars column families. The column names of the Cars column family are of String data
type. You can get all columns in the Cars column family as an single binary column. You can use the sample Java
transformation to covert the binary data to string data. You can join the data from both the column families and write it
to a flat file.
To process the Hbase binary data, use the wf_HBase_Binary_Data workflow.
The following figure shows the wf_HBase_Binary_Data workflow:

To run the workflow, enter the wfs startworkflow command to run the workflow from the command line.
To run the mappings in the workflow, open a mapping and right-click the mapping to run the mapping.
The workflow contains following mappings and transformations:
m_person_Cars_Write_Static
The workflow object references the m_person_Cars_Write_Static HBase write data object mapping that
writes data to the columns in the Cars and Details column family.
m_preson_Cars_Write_Static1
The workflow object references the m_pers_cars_static_reader mapping that transforms the binary data in an
HBase data object to columns of the String data type and writes the details to a flat file data object.:

The HBase mapping contains the following objects:

15

Person_Car_Static_Read
The first source for the mapping is an HBase data object named Person_Car_Static that contains the
columns in the Details column family. The HBase read data object operation is named
Person_Car_Static_Read.
pers_cars_Static_bin_read
The second source for the mapping is an HBase data object named Person_cars_Static_bin that
contains the data in the Cars column family. The HBase read data object operation is named
pers_cars_Static_bin_read.
Transformations

The HBase_ProtoBuf_Read_String.xml Java transformation transforms the single column of binary

data in the Person_Car_Static data object to column values of the String data type.

The Sorter transformation sorts the data in ascending order based on the row ID.

The Expression and Aggregator transformations convert the row data to columnar data.

The Joiner transformation combines the data from both the HBase input sources before you load the
data to the flat file data object.

The Filter transformation filters out any person with age less than or equal to 43.

Write_Person_Cars_FF
The target for the mapping is a flat file data object named Person_Cars_FF. The flat file data object write
operation is named Write_Person_Cars_FF to write data from the Cars and Details column families.
The Data Integration Service converts the binary column in Person_cars_Static_bin, joins the data in
Person_Car_Static, and writes the data to the flat file data object Write_Person_Cars_FF.
