Apache Hama Application

Apache Hama is a Google's Pregel-like, a distributed computing framework based on Bulk Synchronous Parallel.

Idea List

1. Evaluation of communication protocol performance

The goal of this project is performance evaluation of RPC frameworks (e.g., Hadoop RPC, Thrift, Google Protobuf, ..., etc) to figure out which is the best solution for Hama BSP communication. Currently Hama is using Hadoop RPC to communicate and transfer messages between BSP workers.

• A list of prerequisite:
  • Understanding of Bulk Synchronous Parallel model
  • Understanding of RPC (remote procedure call)
• Programming skills:
  • Shell scripts
  • 2d plotting programming
• The estimated duration for this project: 6 weeks
• The level of difficulty: Middle
  

2. Development of Shortest Path Problem

The goal of this project is development of Finding a Shortest Path using Hama BSP.

• A list of prerequisite:
  • Understanding of the Hama BSP programming model
  • Understanding of Graph theory
• Programming skills:
  • Java Programming
• The estimated duration for this project: 12 weeks
• The level of difficulty: High
