Distributed Machine Learning using HDFS and Apache Spark for Big Data Challenges

. Hadoop and Apache Spark have become popular frameworks for distributed big data processing. This research aims to configure Hadoop and Spark for conducting training and testing on big data using distributed machine learning methods with MLlib, including linear regression and multi-linear regression. Additionally, an external library, LSTM, is used for experimentation. The experiments utilize three desktop devices to represent a series of tests on single and multi-node networks. Three datasets, namely bitcoin (3,613,767 rows), gold-price (5,585 rows), and housing-price (23,613 rows), are employed as case studies. The distributed computation tests are conducted by allocating uniform core processors on all three devices and measuring execution times, as well as RMSE and MAPE values. The results of the single-node tests using MLlib (both linear and multi-linear regression) with variations of core utilization ranging from 2 to 16 cores, show that the overall dataset performs optimally using 12 cores, with an execution time of 532.328 seconds. However, in the LSTM method, core allocation variations do not yield significant results and require longer program execution times. On the other hand, in the multinode (2) tests, optimal performance is achieved using 8 cores, with an execution time of 924.711 seconds, while in the multi-node (3) tests, the ideal configuration is 6 cores with an execution time of 881.495 seconds. In conclusion, without the involvement of HDFS, distributed MLlib programs cannot be processed, and core allocation depends on the number of nodes used and the size of the dataset.


Introduction
The current trend in information technology shows that Big Data has become a highly significant phenomenon.Big data is a collection of digital data consisting of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in massive quantities, generated and collected by organizations with the purpose of processing and analyzing it to extract valuable information used for decision-making [14].According to the definition by Statistical Analysis System (SAS), big data reflects exponential growth and the availability of both structured and unstructured data.However, processing big data is not easy due to its large size, which can hinder computer performance or even make it incapable of processing data that exceeds the computer's memory capacity [17].
To overcome the challenges of processing large amounts of data, clustering technology has become an effective solution.Clustering technology utilizes parallel processing to read and process vast datasets across multiple disks and CPUs, in contrast to the classical approach of using a single computer.This system successfully optimizes the utilization of computer resources such as CPU, RAM, and Hard Disk in computations on each node within the cluster [21].One of the popular platforms for managing and analyzing big data is Apache Spark.Spark is an integrated analytic engine for large-scale data processing.It provides high-level APIs in Java, Scala, Python, and R, along with an optimized execution engine that supports general-purpose graph execution [2].Spark includes open-source library components used for large-scale data analysis, one of which is the Machine Learning library (MLlib).MLlib in Spark is equipped with a range of functionalities for various ML tasks, including regression, classification, clustering, and rule extraction [9].
Spark enables parallel data processing using multiple nodes and is often used in conjunction with resource management systems like YARN and distributed file systems like HDFS from Hadoop [10].Hadoop is a framework for performing distributed data computing on a cluster of interconnected computers (cluster computing) using a simple programming model [1].HDFS, or the distributed file system in Hadoop, can be described as a file system that stores data not on a single Hard Disk Drive (HDD).Instead, data is broken into pieces (files are divided into blocks with a configurable size of 64 MB) and stored across a cluster consisting of several computers [19].The master node comprises one Name-Node that manages the file system metadata and one or more slave Data-Nodes that store the actual data [25].One of the components unique to Spark and not found in other platforms is RDD (Resilient Distributed Dataset).RDD represents a collection of items distributed across many nodes, which can be manipulated in parallel [18].When operations are executed on each RDD, the number of partitions within it determines the level of parallelism [7].
However, efficient resource management in large clusters poses its own challenges that require careful tuning, such as optimizing the usage of CPU, memory, and Disk to enhance data processing performance [10].Based on the issues mentioned above, this research aims to design and configure the Hadoop and Spark frameworks to execute Machine Learning on distributed systems.The study will also analyze the constraints faced during the framework design process and compare the performance of Spark in single node clusters and multi-node clusters by allocating different numbers of cores.In its analysis, this research will evaluate the factors influencing the outcomes of Machine Learning in the context of using the Spark framework.
The aim of this research is to create a Big Data and Machine Learning cluster framework that can be easily upgraded without configuration errors.Additionally, the study will provide insights into the system's capability to process larger-scale data in a distributed manner.The results of this research will also offer practical guidance on optimal computational resource settings in a distributed environment, as well as an understanding of the relative performance of various ML algorithm methods, such as Linear Regression (LR), Multi-linear Regression (MLR), and Deep Learning methods using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) outside the Spark MLlib environment.In this case, the LSTM algorithm refers to a research reference on stock index daily closing price prediction using LSTM [15], where the study predicts the Apple stock price from 2014 to 2019 and analyzes daily value changes using LSTM in Keras with the TensorFlow backend, using data extracted from finance.yahoo.com[15].The experiments are conducted using three computers (worker-PC 1 as the master, workerPC 2, and 3 as slaves) connected in a star topology.Hadoop configuration is performed only on the master computer, while Spark configuration is done on all of them.HDFS on the master computer serves as the centralized storage for the distributed big data dataset, allowing Spark, which is installed on each computer, to perform operations on the big data dataset.The Spark library is used to provide and execute distributed machine learning operations, including linear regression and multi-linear regression in this research.However, the LSTM method is not available in the Spark library, which results in a different approach to the implementation of machine learning with LSTM.
Thus, this research focuses on the implementation and evaluation of Hadoop and Spark as reliable platforms for managing and analyzing big data and executing ML tasks in a distributed environment.The results of this study are expected to provide significant benefits in optimizing resource utilization and enhancing the understanding of data processing within the Spark environment.1, there is worker-PC 1 equipped with an Intel Core i7-4770 processor with 16 cores to coordinate and manage the computational processes.Then, Table 2 presents the specifications of worker-PC 2, which has an Intel Core i3-2328M processor with 4 cores.Table 3 shows the specifications of worker-PC 3, which comes with an AMD A9-9420E processor with 2 cores.Lastly, to ensure smooth communication between nodes, a TP-Link TL-SF1005D switch is utilized with 5 RJ45 ports operating at a speed of 10/100 Mbps.c. Design of Single-Node and Multi-Node Simulation In general, two types of clusters will be created.First, a single-node cluster where a single computer will be equipped with both Hadoop and Spark.This computer will act as both the master and worker node.The second cluster is a multinode cluster, where three computers will be used.Each computer will be equipped with Hadoop and Spark, following the rule that one computer will act as the master, and the other two computers will act as slaves.All computers will be connected to a switch through Ethernet.

d. Testing Machine Learning Libraries on Spark
In the testing, PySpark was used as the Python API for Spark, a distributed computing framework, and a collection of libraries for data processing, including the Spark MLlib, which is a library for Machine Learning.
In Figure 3, the concurrency process is visible within the ML testing block diagram.Spark is installed on both the single-node cluster and multi-node cluster, with HDFS serving as the storage medium for distributed datasets.In each cluster, Streamlit-tools are used to execute and display the ML output simultaneously.Subsequently, an analysis is conducted by observing the distribution process in the Spark history server UI for ML performance.The examination focuses on values such as execution time, RMSE, and MAPE for each algorithm, as well as the final execution time of the program based on the influence of the number of cores.

Result
As part of the research results, the following configurations were employed in the conducted experiment, including.

HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System
) is used to manage data that will be processed by Spark, such as storing datasets.Since these datasets will be accessed by each node, especially in the case of a Multi-Node Cluster, distributed data storage is essential for conducting distributed ML processing.Consequently, each node will access the datasets using HDFS from Hadoop.Finally, HADOOP_ OPTS is updated with additional arguments for the JVM, including options to set java.library.pathto the HADOOP_HOME/lib/native directory.
2) To set up core-site.xmlFigure 5 shows the core-site configuration script in the form of a core-site.xmlfile, which is a configuration file in the Hadoop installation that governs core settings for the HDFS component.The core of Spark includes Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs).This core is responsible for task scheduling, fault recovery, inmemory computation, and memory management [8].In this case, hdfs://master:9000 indicates that the HDFS file system can be accessed through the HDFS protocol (hdfs://) and uses the "master" host with port 9000 as the primary namenode.
3) To set up hdfs-site.xmlFigure 6 shows a configuration in the form of an hdfssite.xmlfile, which is a configuration file in the Hadoop installation containing specific settings for HDFS.Firstly, the property "dfs.permissions" with a value of 'false' is used to disable the permission system in HDFS.Secondly, the property "dfs.replication" with a value of 1 sets the file replication factor in HDFS to 1. Next, the property "dfs.namenode.name.dir"with a value of /usr/local/Hadoop /data/nameNode.The property "dfs.datanode.data.dir"with a value of /usr/local/hadoop/ data/dataNode.Finally, the property "dfs.webhdfs.enabled"with a value of 'true' enables the Web UI feature in HDFS.

4) Configuring Workers for HDFS
For HDFS, only the master is configured as a worker.

Fig. 7 Configuring workers in Hadoop
Figure 7 shows the PC-workers configuration in the workers file of the Hadoop configuration.The entries "master" and "slave1" to "slave2" refer to the hostnames acting as the node-master and node-slaves in the Hadoop cluster."master" or "worker-PC 1" is the hostname designated as the node master in the Hadoop cluster.Figure 10 shows the configuration in the form of a spark-defaults.conffile, which is a configuration file used in Spark installation to manage settings.In this file, we can also initialize the logs directory, which will be utilized to store logs or job histories recorded by the Spark and accessed through the Spark history server.

Fig. 11 Configuration of workers in Spark
In Figure 11, on Spark workers, the configuration file is used to specify a list of hosts that will be used as workers within the Spark cluster.In the configuration of Figure 11, the workers used are worker-PC 1, worker-PC 2, and worker-PC 3. Thus, the master and slave configurations in Figures 12 and 13 will form a multi-node cluster.
-In the master The executor is the actual processing unit responsible for executing data processing tasks and returning the results to the driver [16].Meanwhile, the worker is the machine or node that provides resources and runs the executor.The executor runs on a worker node within the cluster.It starts its process after the system receives input files and continues to run until the job is completed.In this case, the executor remains active throughout the workload and utilizes multiple CPU threads in parallel [12].For each specific job, the size, number, and threads of the executor play a crucial role in its performance.The ideal addition of the number of executors can be found by considering the desired speed-up [5].In the case of Figure 13, Spark workers are configured only on the master node, with a memory allocation of 2 GB for each node, resulting in a total memory of 6 GB for the multi-node cluster with 3 nodes.A fundamental difference in data processing between Hadoop and Spark is that Spark stores data in memory.Therefore, memory management in Spark becomes very important [11].Then, the allocated cores are set to be 2 cores each, resulting in a total of 6 cores for the multinode cluster with 3 nodes.Figure 14 illustrates the experiment that will be conducted, namely, Distributed Machine Learning in a MultiNode Cluster, where worker-PC 1 functions as the first node in Spark and also serves as the HDFS server in the cluster.Hence, the process of exporting datasets into HDFS is only done on the master.Next, worker-PC 2 functions as the second node, and worker-PC 3 functions as the third node.

Fig. 14 Multi Node Cluster Architecture
Still on Figure 14, on each node, HDFS is used to import datasets for ML.Since the ML process is distributed, the file storage must also be done using a distributed system, which is achieved through HDFS.Furthermore, the master is also used to remotely manage each node.This is useful for allocating cores on slaves without having to go through the slave terminal.
2) Analysis of Spark Jobs on Spark History Server.encompass a number of tasks that can be executed in parallel.In Figure 15, it is evident that the total number of tasks performed is 39, with 36 tasks completed.Still on Figure 16, it is evident from the graph that the Executor Computing Time on executor 0 is shorter compared to executor 1 and 2. This is because executor 0, also known as the master node, has higher computer specifications, such as faster core speed, compared to the PC-Worker specifications.
3) Running Streamlit for a case study on bitcoin forecasting dataset.From the used dataset, each data amount is sorted from the largest to the smallest (bitcoin forecasting [27], goldprice [28], and house pricing [26]).Figure 17 shows information about training and testing data, indicating that data division was performed for the case study of Bitcoin price prediction.Raw data is used as input and produces predictions as output [20].In Figure 20, LR (Linear Regression) only has one independent variable (input) used to predict the dependent variable (output).This model has a relatively simple linear equation and involves fewer parameters.As a result, the training and evaluation processes of the LR model can be done more efficiently and quickly.On the other hand, MLR (Multiple Linear Regression) involves more than one independent variable as input.This model considers the influence of multiple independent variables on the dependent variable and attempts to find the most suitable linear relationship.Some historical data may have low correlation with the predicted values [22].Next, it is also observed that the LSTM model has a longer execution time compared to the LR and MLR models, regardless of the number of cores used.This is because LSTM requires intensive training processes to find optimal parameters, involving repeated iterations.Additionally, PySpark lacks resources related to LSTM usage in Spark MLlib.This is due to the fact that the LSTM algorithm runs sequentially and cannot fully utilize the available computational power [24].As a result, the training and testing processes of LSTM do not involve the distributed Spark system.
The Execution Time values with core allocations ranging from 2 to 12 cores show a fairly significant difference.This can be observed in the Execution Time results of 665.389s, 545.828s, and 532.328s.However, when comparing the Execution Time values between a 12 core allocation at 532.328s and a 16 core allocation at 532.013s, there is no significant difference.Hence, using Spark with a 12-core allocation is considered efficient enough for running the prediction.Each configuration and environment may require different parameter adjustments, so they need to be tested and optimized accurately to achieve optimal results [13].
In Figure 21, the house price prediction, the LR model tends to take longer compared to MLR.This is because the MLR model captures a strong correlation between the target variable and several predictor variables.The execution time required by each core is not significantly different.This is due to the relatively small dataset size.Therefore, using Spark with an allocation of 2 cores is considered efficient enough to run the prediction.In Figure 23, the execution time for house price prediction decreased, but the difference in values is not significantly different.This is due to the relatively small size of the dataset.Therefore, using Spark with an allocation of 2 cores is considered efficient enough to run the prediction.

Fig. 23 Comparison Chart of Execution Time Values for the Three Case Studies on Single Node Cluster
In Figure 23, the execution time for predicting the price of Bitcoin is significantly higher compared to predicting the prices of Gold and Houses in all core configurations.This is due to the higher complexity and volume of data involved in predicting the price of Bitcoin.It demonstrates that the execution time increases almost linearly with the size [6].
In the prediction of Bitcoin prices, the execution time tends to decrease substantially with an increase in the number of cores used.An allocation of 12 cores has been found to be sufficiently efficient.On the other hand, the prediction of Gold and House prices shows insignificant changes in execution time with an increase in the number of cores.In Figure 24, the RMSE values for the LR and MLR algorithms remain constant across all core configurations.This indicates that the performance of both algorithms is not affected by the number of cores used.However, the RMSE value obtained for LR is higher compared to MLR, indicating that the prediction quality of MLR is better than LR.The significant difference lies in the LSTM algorithm, where a much lower RMSE value is found for each core configuration.This indicates that the LSTM algorithm provides better prediction quality compared to LR and MLR in this case study.Thus, from the example graph in Figure 24, the RMSE values obtained for each case study in both the single-node cluster and multi-node cluster experiments are not influenced by the number of cores allocated.

Comparison of Machine Learning on Multi-Node Cluster (2 Nodes)
In Figure 26, the Execution Time decreases linearly with an increase in the number of cores used.The Execution Time values with a total core allocation of 2 to 8 cores exhibit a significant difference, namely, 1121.951s,968.883s, 944.288s, and 924.711s.Therefore, using Spark with an allocation of 8 cores is considered the most efficient for running the prediction.In Figure 27, the execution time required by each core does not differ significantly.Therefore, the use of Spark with a total allocation of 2 cores is considered efficient enough to run the prediction.In Figure 28, the execution time decreases linearly with an increase in the number of cores used.Therefore, it can be concluded that using Spark with a total allocation of 8 cores is considered the most efficient for running the prediction.
In Figure 29, the execution time of Bitcoin price prediction tends to decrease substantially.An efficient core allocation of 8 cores is applied.On the other hand, the price prediction for Gold and Real Estate shows changes that are not very significant in the execution time with an increase in the number of cores.In Table 7, the Execution Time values with an allocation of 3 and 6 cores are not significantly different.Therefore, using Spark with an allocation of 3 cores is considered sufficiently efficient to run the prediction.In Table 8, the Execution Time values with 3 and 6 core allocations show a significant difference.This can be observed in the Execution Time results of 90.326s and 86.649s, respectively.Therefore, using Spark with a 6core allocation is considered the most efficient for running the prediction.
Table 9 Execution Time Results of the three case studies in Multi-Node Cluster (3 Node) In Table 9, the utilization of Spark with an allocation of 6 cores is considered the most efficient for running Bitcoin and House price predictions.Meanwhile, the use of Spark with an allocation of 3 cores is deemed sufficient to efficiently execute Gold price predictions.In Figure 30, the average execution time of the Bitcoin price prediction case study on 1 node is lower compared to 2 nodes and 3 nodes in each core configuration.This could be due to significant differences in computer specifications for each machine.In the multi-node cluster, worker-PC 1 boasts a much higher processor, an Intel Core i7-4770 with a clock speed of 3.40 GHz.Meanwhile, worker-PC 2 still employs an Intel Core i3-2328M at 2.20 GHz, and worker-PC 3 utilizes an AMD A9-9420E at 1.8 GHz.Consequently, if run as a multinode setup, it could hinder machine learning performance.
The notable variation among each node can be observed in Figure 30 with a 6-core allocation.Among these, 1 node exhibits the shortest execution time at 545.828s.However, with 2 nodes, the execution time extends to 944.288s, compared to 881.495s for 3 nodes.This discrepancy may be attributed to worker-PC 2 still utilizing DDR3 RAM, whereas worker-PC 1 and worker-PC 3 are equipped with DDR4 RAM.This situation might impede the performance of the multinode cluster, particularly due to worker-PC 2's limitations.

Conclusion
In a multi-node cluster, without HDFS playing the role of distributed dataset storage, the distributed ML program cannot be processed.The use of LSTM in this research employs libraries outside of MLlib and is executed without a distributed system.Consequently, the choice of algorithms in Spark ML depends on the availability of MLlib.Increasing the number of cores does not affect the RMSE and MAPE values.In the case of predicting Bitcoin prices, the Execution Time (LR and program execution) in the single-node cluster experiments decreases exponentially.The most efficient core allocation is 12 cores, with an Execution Time value of 532.328 seconds.On the other hand, in the case of predicting gold or house prices, the Execution Time values obtained in the single-node and multi-node experiments tend to decrease linearly.Predicting Bitcoin prices requires longer processing due to the large dataset size of 3,613,767 rows.Additionally, the LSTM algorithm requires more time compared to LR and MLR.The difference in values between LR and MLR is also influenced by the correlation between the target and predictor variables /doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202346502058E3S Web of Conferences 465, 02058 (2023)

This is because executor 0, also known as the master node, has higher computer specifications, such as faster core speed, compared to the PC-Worker specifications.
