How Do I Use MRS?¶
MapReduce Service (MRS) is a service you can use to deploy and manage Hadoop-based components on the Cloud. It enables you to deploy Hadoop clusters with a few clicks. MRS provides enterprise-ready big data clusters in the cloud. Tenants can fully control the clusters and easily run big data components such as Hadoop, Spark, HBase, Kafka, and Storm in the clusters.
MRS is easy to use. You can execute various tasks and process or store PB-scale data using computers connected in a cluster. To use MRS, do as follows:
Upload local programs and data files to OBS.
Create a cluster. You need to specify the cluster type (for example, analysis or streaming), and set ECS instance specifications, number of instances, data disk type (common I/O, high I/O, and ultra-high I/O), and components to be installed, such as Hadoop, Spark, HBase, Hive, Kafka, and Storm, in a cluster. You can use a bootstrap action to install third-party software or modify the cluster running environment on a node before or after the cluster is started.
Use MRS to submit, execute, and monitor your programs.
Manage clusters on MRS Manager, an enterprise-level unified management platform of big data clusters. You can learn about the health status of services and hosts, obtain critical system information in a timely manner from graphical metric monitoring and customization, modify service attributes based on performance requirements, and start or stop clusters, services, and role instances.
Terminate any MRS cluster that you do not require after job execution is complete.
