Virtualized Hadoop Performance With Vsphere 5 1 Vroom Performance Blog Recently, this work was refreshed with a larger cluster of 32 high performance hosts running vmware vsphere® 5.1. the performance of native and several virtual configurations was compared for three applications. The results presented here for a 32 host cluster show that virtualizing hadoop on vsphere 5.1 works well. virtualization overhead is never very large, but can be essentially eliminated through careful virtual machine sizing and configuration.

Figure 1 From Virtualized Hadoop Performance With Vmware Vsphere 5 Easier deployment with vsphere tools or serengeti, leading to easier and faster datacentermanagement. sharing resources with other hadoop clusters or completely different applications, for better datacenterutilization. The performance of three hadoop applications is reported for several virtual configurations on vmware vsphere 5 and compared to native configurations. a well balanced seven node amax clustermax system was used to show that the average performance difference between native and the simplest virtualized configurations is only 4%. A whitepaper giving an overview of hadoop and the details of tests on commondity hardware with local storage is available here. one of the findings in the paper is that running 2 or 4 smaller vms per physical machine usually resulted in better performance, often exceeding native performance. Download this performance case study of virtualized hadoop performance on vmware vsphere 5, which is designed to run on a large cluster of commodity servers.

The flexibility enabled by virtualization to create multiple hadoop nodes per host can be used to achieve performance significantly better than native. the performance of three hadoop applications is reported for several virtual configurations on vmware vsphere 5 and compared to native configurations. Myth #1: concern that virtualization will add significant performance overhead to a hadoop cluster. this is a common question from users in the early stages of considering virtualizing their hadoop clusters. The apples to apples case of a single virtual machine per host shows performance close to that of native. improvements in elapsed time of up to 13% can be achieved by partitioning each host into two or four virtual machines, resulting in competitive or even better than native performance.
