Hadoop Architecture version 1.x

Image
Hadoop Architecture is split into 3 categories:- Edge Node Name Node and Job Tracker Node Data Nodes and Task Tracker Nodes Client/Edge Node:   It is the interface between Hadoop cluster and outside network.For this reason, they are sometimes referred as gateway nodes. Client applications talk to the Name Node whenever they wish to locate a file, or when they want to add/copy/move/delete a file. The Name Node responds the successful requests by returning a list of relevant Data Node servers where the data lives. Usage They are often used as staging areas for data being transferred into the Hadoop cluster.  Most commonly, edge nodes are used to run client applications and cluster administration tools. Tools like Oozie, Pig, Sqoop, and management tools such as Hue and Ambari run well there.  Client Node directly controls Data Node based on information. Master/Slave:   Here, we have a concept of Master...

How to calculate Timestamps in Oracle Database

As we all know, current time is obtained using current_timestamp keyword in Oracle. Most of the time we have observed that whenever we try to calculate using current_timestamp by subtracting or adding any digit to it e.g. current_timestamp + 20, if we're lucky it will work else in most cases it will throw us "SQL Error: ORA-00911: invalid character" error. The reason for this is that we are trying to calculate timestamp but without using its appropriate format. I have mentioned the ways below according to which timestamps should be calculated. To obtain the current time we use following command:- SQL>  select current_timestamp from dual; CURRENT_TIMESTAMP -------------------------------------- 27-APR-11 03.08.29.433503000 PM EUROPE/LONDON 1 row selected. To obtain current time to be adjusted in terms of no .of days we use following command:- 1. Retrieve no. of days to be adjusted SQL>   select NUMTODSINTERVAL(-1, 'DAY') FROM dual; NUMTODSINTERVAL(-1,'D...
