Map Reduce in Hadoop Example

Posted on 7. January 2020 by Andrada Serban

Hadoop MapReduce is a software framework used for distributed processing of large data sets on compute clusters.

According to The Apache Software Foundation, the objective of Map/Reduce is to split the input data set into independent chunks that are processed completely in parallel. The Hadoop MapReduce framework sorts the outputs of the maps, which are then input to the reduce phase. Normally both the input and the output of the job is stored in a file system.

In this blog post I will show you how to write a Map/Reduce word count program step by step in order to understand what is happening in every phase and line of code.

Posted on 23. December 2019 by Andrada Serban

And now let’s GET some info booster POSTED in the spirit of the winter holidays …

This article shows you how to use the new Java 11 HtppClient API to send HTTP GET/POST requests using two very common examples.

HttpClient provides synchronous and asynchronous request mechanisms:

  • send(HttpRequest, BodyHandler) blocks until the request has been sent and the response has been received.
  • sendAsync(HttpRequest, BodyHandler) sends the request and receives the response asynchronously.

In this article, I will focus on the synchronous GET request.

JUnit 5 – Behandlung von Exceptions

Posted on 11. December 2019 by Nurmukhammad Begiboev

Es kann also getestet werden, ob der Code eine gewünschte Exception auslöst oder nicht. Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, mit Ausnahmen umzugehen. Hier werden drei der verbreitetsten Methoden in Junit 4 erläutert und mit den Methoden von Junit 5 verglichen.

Gradle 6: Verbesserte Abhängigkeitsverwaltung

Posted on 25. November 2019 by Kai Börnert

Diesen Monat wurde Gradle 6 veröffentlicht, und es stellt sich die übliche Frage, was gibt es Neues?

Eines der größeren Ziele von Gradle 6 ist es, den Umgang mit großen und komplexen Abhängigkeiten zu verbessern. Dies soll einige übliche Probleme reduzieren:

  • Eine Abhängigkeit wird in zwei verschiedenen Versionen, welche nicht kompatibel sind, angefordert.
  • Mehrere Abhängigkeiten bieten dasselbe Feature an (z. B. Logback und Log4J)
  • Inkompatible Runtimes (z. B. Update von Groovy über eine Abhängigkeit verursacht Fehler in älterem Groovy-Code)
