Abstract

The big data applications are a resource and energy intensive applications. Cloud providers wish to better utilize the technologies of virtualization in order to solve the evolving needs of infrastructures, alongside the growing demand. The virtualization technology based on container is increasingly popular in the high performance domain, this work is the evaluation of this technology in the context of big data and cloud computing domains. It focuses on the software Hadoop, as a big data application, it evaluates the performance impact and energy consumption. The objective is to understand the tradeoff between performance and energy efficiency depending on the technology of virtualization. The outcomes of this paper are: Firstly, the evaluation of the technology of virtualization based on containers on the cloud using Hadoop as a big data application. Secondly, the comparison of the traditional virtualization with the merging container technology. We analyze the impact of the coexistence of virtual machines (or containers) on the CPU, memory, hard disk throughput and network bandwidth. Thirdly, the reduction of the big data application deployment cost using the cloud. Fourthly, the Hadoop community finds an in-depth study of the resource consumption depending on the deployment environment. Our evaluation shows that: (i) The container (Docker) technology is a performance enhancement and energy saving technology compared to the traditional technology of virtualization. (ii) Performance of Hadoop cluster based on containers is significantly better than the traditional virtualization technology. (iii) Data replication rate influences the completion date of job. (vi) Coexisting containers (or virtual machines) influence the energy consumption and the completion time of the applications.
