9. MapReduce with Apache Hadoop YARN

The introduction of Hadoop version 2 has changed much of how MapReduce applications run on a cluster. Unlike the monolithic MapReduce–Schedule in Hadoop Version 1, Hadoop YARN has generalized the cluster resources available to users. To keep compatibility with Hadoop version 1, the YARN team has written a MapReduce framework that works on top of YARN. The framework is highly compatible with Hadoop version 1, with only a small number of issues to consider. As with Hadoop version 1, Hadoop YARN comes with virtually the same MapReduce examples and benchmarks that help demonstrate how Hadoop YARN functions.
