Cloud Project: Compare performance of Hadoop vs Spark

Rest API to run SQL query on large set of data using Hadoop and Spark.

Requirements:

• Python 3
• Hadoop
• Hadoop Streamer Path
• HDFS CSV Files Path

Installation:

1. Create a virtualenv Cloud and activate it. If you do not have virtualenv installed, install it. (Installation: Windows, Linux & MAC OS)
2. In the project home folder, Install the necessary packages using the command pip install -r requirements .
3. Create config.py in cloudproject folder.
4. Add the following code to config.py

   HADOOP_STREAMER_PATH = "<Path of the Hadoop Streamer JAR file>"
   HDFS_CSV_PATH = "<Path of the CSV Files in HDFS>"

5. Execute the following command to apply migrations: python manage.py migrate.
6. To run the server in localhost with default port, execute the command python manage.py runserver.

Usage:

This REST API doesn't have any authentication. To access this API, send a POST request using any request managers like Postman with data having key query with value as the SQL query.

The output of the query contains two keys: mapreduce and spark. Each key contains the time it took to execute the query on the specified data and the result of the query.
