Apache Hama is a Distributed Computing Framework For Massive Scientific Computations. Hama consists of 3 major components – BSPMaster, GroomServers and Zookeeper. It is a framework for Big Data analytics which uses the Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) computing model. It provides BSP programming model, vertex and neuron centric programming models. Hama can be installed in local/pseudo-distributed mode or as HDFS installation for multiple node. We can set up Apache Hama to work with Apache Mesos, Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark. In order to run Hama on Mesos it is required that Mesos already be installed on the cluster. Instructions to set up Mesos may be found at the project website. Here is How to Install Apache Hama as HDFS Installation.
How to Install Apache Hama
We have to assume that you have already set up HDFS (may be CDH on your cluster) and Apache Mesos. CDH, HDP, and Mesosphere does not need any installation. We must point that some versions of HDFS CDH may be odd error and version of Apache Hama older than 0.70 may have different guides. Officially requirements to run Hama is hadoop-1.0.x or higher version (non-secure version), Sun Java JDK 1.7.x or higher version and SSH access to manage BSP deamons.

Download latest Hama :
|
1 |
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/hama |
First clean previous versions on Hama on HDFS:
|
1 |
hadoop fs -rm /hama.tar.gz |
Now build Hama for the particular HDFS and Mesos version, command will be like :
|
1 |
mvn clean install -Phadoop2 -Dhadoop.version=2.3.0-cdh5.1.2 -Dmesos.version=0.20.0 -DskipTests |
We have to put it to HDFS (name of tar file same as your configuration file) :
|
1 |
hadoop fs -put dist/target/hama-0.7.1-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz /hama.tar.gz |
Move to the distribution directory:
|
1 |
cd dist/target/hama-0.7.0-SNAPSHOT/hama-0.7.1-SNAPSHOT/ |
Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or MESOS_NATIVE_LIBRARY environment variables correctly to mesos installation libraries. Default is usr/lib/mesos :
|
1 |
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/mesos-installation/lib/ |
Without setting them correctly, bspmaster will not start throwing Expecting an absolute path of the library error on log. Configure Hama with Mesos, you can follow instructions from the Hama wiki. This is an example configuration :

Run bspmaster:
|
1 |
./bin/hama-daemon.sh start bspmaster |
Check the log files for error :
|
1 2 |
less hama-root-bspmaster-$HOSTNAME.log less hama-root-bspmaster-$HOSTNAME.out |
If everything is fine then you can run some examples, like :
|
1 |
./bin/hama jar hama-examples-0.7.1-SNAPSHOT.jar gen fastgen 100 10 randomgraph 2 |
You will get output two files as two partitions of a graph, now run :
|
1 |
./bin/hama jar hama-examples-0.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar pagerank randomgraph pagerankresult 4 |
List files in HDFS :
|
1 |
hadoop fs -ls /user/root/randomgraph |
We guess, now you can use more examples.
