This is a follow up post, describing the implementation details of Hadoop Applier, and steps to configure and install it. Hadoop Applier integrates MySQL with Hadoop providing the real-time replication of INSERTs to HDFS, and hence can be consumed by the data stores working on top of Hadoop. You can know more about the design rationale and per-requisites in the previous post.

Design and Implementation:

Hadoop Applier replicates rows inserted into a table in MySQL to the Hadoop Distributed File System(HDFS). It uses an API provided by libhdfs, a C library to manipulate files in HDFS.

The library comes pre-compiled with Hadoop distributions. It connects to the MySQL master (or read …

Enabling Real-Time MySQL to HDFS Integration

Batch processing delivered by Map/Reduce remains central to Apache Hadoop, but as the pressure to gain competitive advantage from “speed of thought” analytics grows, so Hadoop itself is undergoing significant evolution. The development of technologies allowing real time queries, such as Apache Drill, Cloudera Impala and the Stinger Initiative are emerging, supported by new generations of resource management with Apache YARN

To support this growing emphasis on real-time operations, we are releasing a new …

MySQL is deployed in 9 of the top 10 most trafficked sites on the web including Facebook, Twitter, eBay and YouTube, as well as in some of the fastest growing services such as Tumblr, Pinterest and box.com

Working with these companies has given MySQL developers, consultants and support engineers unique insight into how to design database-driven web architectures – whether deployed on-premise or in the cloud.

The MySQL Web Reference Architectures are a set of documented and repeatable best practices for building infrastructure that deliver the highest levels of scalability, agility and availability with the lowest levels of cost, risk and complexity. 

Four components common to most web and mobile properties are sized, with optimum deployment architectures for each:

“Big Data” offers the potential for organizations to revolutionize their operations. With the volume of business data doubling every 1.2 years, analysts and business users are discovering very real benefits when integrating and analyzing data from multiple sources, enabling deeper insight into their customers, partners, and business processes.

As the world’s most popular open source database, and the most deployed database in the web and cloud, MySQL is a key component of many big data platforms, with Hadoop vendors estimating 80% of deployments are integrated with MySQL.

The new Guide to MySQL and Hadoop presents the tools enabling integration between the two data platforms, supporting the data lifecycle from acquisition and organisation to …
