Distributed data processing framework MapReduce is increasingly deployed in Clouds to leverage the pay-per-usage cloud computing model. Popular Hadoop MapReduce environment expects that end users determine the type and amount of Cloud resources for reservation as well as the configuration of Hadoop parameters. However, such resource reservation and job provisioning decisions require in-depth knowledge of system internals and laborious but often ineffective parameter tuning. We propose and develop AROMA, a system that automates the allocation of heterogeneous Cloud resources and configuration of Hadoop parameters for achieving quality of service goals while minimizing the incurred cost. It addresses the significant challenge of provisioning ad-hoc jobs that have performance deadlines in Clouds through a novel two-phase machine learning and optimization framework. Its technical core is a support vector machine based performance model that enables the integration of various aspects of resource provisioning and autoconfiguration of Hadoop jobs. It adapts to ad-hoc jobs by robustly matching their resource utilization signature with previously executed jobs and making provisioning decisions accordingly. We implement AROMA as an automated job provisioning system for Hadoop MapReduce hosted in virtualized HP ProLiant blade servers. Experimental results show AROMA's effectiveness in providing performance guarantee of diverse Hadoop benchmark jobs while minimizing the cost of Cloud resource usage.
