Hadoop is a popular open-source MapReduce implementation. In the cases of jobs, wherein huge scale of output files of all relevant Map tasks are transmitted into Reduce tasks, such as TeraSort, the Reduce tasks are the bottleneck tasks and are I/O bounded for processing many large output files. In most cases, including TeraSort, the intermediate data, which include the output files of the Map tasks, are large and accessed sequentially. For improving the performance of these jobs, it is important to increase the sequential access performance. In this paper, we propose methods for improving the performance of Reduce tasks of such jobs by considering the following two things. One is that these files are accessed sequentially on an HDD, and the other is that each zone in an HDD has different sequential I/O performance. The proposed methods control the location to store intermediate data by modifying block bitmap of filesystem, which manages utilization (free or used) of blocks in an HDD. In addition, we propose striping layout for applying these methods for virtualized environment using image files. We then present performance evaluation of the proposed method and demonstrate that our methods improve the Hadoop application performance.
