Pure Hadoop

Apache Spot (incubating) can be installed on a new or existing Hadoop cluster, its components viewed as services and distributed according to common roles in the cluster. One approach is to follow the community validated deployment of Hadoop (see diagram below).

This approach is recommended for customers with a dedicated cluster for use of the solution or a security data lake; it takes advantage of existing investment in hardware and software. The disadvantage of this approach is that it does require the installation of software on Hadoop nodes not managed by some systems.

In the Pure Hadoop deployment scenario, the ingest component runs on an edge node, which is an expected use of this role. It is required to install some non-Hadoop software to make ingest component work. The Operational Analytics runs on a node intended for browser-based management and user applications, so that all user interfaces are located on a node or nodes with the same role. The Machine Learning (ML) component is installed on worker nodes, as the resource management for an ML pipeline is similar for functions inside and outside Hadoop.

Although both of these deployment options are validated and supported, additional scenarios that combine these approaches are certainly.

More Info

Apache Spot is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
