Description
YARN is the next generation generic resource platform used to manage resources in a typical cluster and is designed to support multitenancy in its core architecture. As optimal resource utilization is central to the design of YARN, learning how to fully utilize the available fine-grained resources (RAM, CPU cycles, and so on) in the cluster becomes vital.This book is an easy-to-follow, self-learning guide to help you start working with YARN. Beginning with an overview of YARN and Hadoop, you will dive into the pitfalls of Hadoop 1.x and how YARN takes us to the next level. You will learn the concepts, terminology, architecture, core components, and key interactions, and cover the installation and administration of a YARN cluster as well as learning about YARN application development with new and emerging data processing frameworks.
