无法在YARN群集（Hadoop 2.5.2）上运行Apache Giraph

Question

I'm trying to run the basic ShortestPaths example using Giraph 1.1 on Hadoop 2.5.2. I'm running in actual cluster model (eg, not psuedo-distributed) and I can run standard mapreduce jobs OK. But when I try to run the Giraph example, it seems to hang unless I set

-ca giraph.SplitMasterWorker=false

and correspondingly set number of workers to 1. But this kinda defeats the point of running on a cluster, no? OTOH, if I run without disabling SplitMasterWorker, I get this error:

When using LocalJobRunner, you cannot run in split master / worker mode 
since there is only 1 task at a time!

which suggests that Girpah is defaulting to local mode. One report I read suggested fixing this by adding

-ca mapred.job.tracker=10.0.0.12:5431

to the Girpah command line, but on Hadoop 2.5.2 with YARN, there is no JobTracker on port 5431, if I understand correctly. Anyway, if I do add that bit, the job tries to run, but seems to hang without ever finishing. Here's the complete command line, and the job output follows:

Answer 1

OK, this turned out to be fairly simple. I built Giraph using the hadoop_2 profile, and not hadoop_yarn. When I build it using the yarn profile, this no longer happens. I don't understand the entire mechanism of how this works, but apparently building with that profile changes some defaults that put it into pure YARN mode at runtime.

So, if you get this, rebuild using

mvn -Phadoop_yarn clean package

and that will probably fix it.
