Exercises
MAP REDUCE
- MapReduce exercises (slides)
- Solutions of Exercises 1-29 (SolutionsExMapReduce.zip)
- How to Write and Compile your Java Application using VSCode (pdf)
- Linux or Mac: Basic project for MapReduce applications (based on maven) (MapReduceBasicProject.zip)
- Windows: Basic project for MapReduce applications (based on maven) (MapReduceBasicProjectWindows.zip)
- How to configure the Windows environment to run MapReduce applications locally on your PC(ConfigureWindowsEnviroment.pdf)
- You must also install JDK 1.8 and select it for the imported project inside the IDE. If you already installed the JDK environment but the version is greater than JDK 1.8 you must also install JDK 1.8.
- Winutils executable (winutils.zip)
- If you use your PC to write and run your code locally, use the projects based on Maven (those projects can be run locally).
- If you use the PC available in the LAB, import the projects with libraries as reported in the first lab (those projects cannot be run locally but only on the cluster exporting the project jar file).
SPARK

- Example data – One folder with (few) data for each exercise (ExampleDataSpark.zip)
- Solutions of Exercises 30-50 (SolutionsExSpark30-50.zip) – Updated December 6, 2023 – A new alternative solution for Exercise 44, based on left outer join, has been uploaded (Exercise44v2).

Problem specification and input data | Solution (Maven-based) |
Lab 1: Hadoop and MapReduce Problem specification (pdf) Basic project and small example dataset (Lab1_BigData_with_libraries_vscode.zip) Basic project based on Maven – Use this version to run the MapReduce application locally on your own PC (DO NOT USE IT AT LAIB1) — Linux and macOS (Lab1.zip) — Windows (Lab1_Windows.zip) Bigger dataset: finefoods_text.txt (zip) | Solution: Bonus track Lab1_SolBonusMvn.zip |
Lab 2: Filter with Hadoop MapReduce Problem specification (pdf) Skeleton project Hadoop — MapReduce (Lab2_Skeleton_with_libraries_vscode.zip) Basic project based on Maven — Use this version of the project to run the MapReduce application locally on your own PC (DO NOT USE IT AT LAIB1) — Linux and macOS (Lab2_Skeleton.zip) — Windows (Lab2Windows_Skeleton.zip) Outputs of the first lab (OutputFolderLab1.zip) (OutputFolderLab1BonusTrack.zip). You can use them to test your application locally on your own PC if you are using Maven | Solution: Lab2_Sol.zip Solution Bonus track: Lab2_SolBonus.zip |
Lab 3: Frequently bought/reviewed together with Hadoop and MapReduce Problem specification (pdf) Skeleton project Hadoop — MapReduce (Lab3_Skeleton_with_libraries_vscode.zip) Sample data (AmazonTransposedDataset_Sample.txt) Basic project based on Maven — Use this version of the project to run the MapReduce application locally on your own PC (DO NOT USE IT AT LAIB1) — Linux and macOS (Lab3_Skeleton.zip) — Windows (Lab3Windows_Skeleton.zip) | Solution: Lab3_Sol.zip – The second solution MUST NOT BE USED because it is highly inefficient. The second solution has been uploaded to show an inefficient solution that someone implemented in the past. Comments on the three uploaded solutions (slides) |
