Model-Driven Approach to Hadoop Deployment in Cloud

Due to the diversification of software and hardware resources in cloud and ever-changing demand for deployment, Hadoop deployment is faced with great challenges in difficulty and complexity. Most of present researches lie in environment configuration and parameter setting of deployment, they do not take into account diversification of infrastructure and scalability issues in cloud. In order to quickly customize, deploy and expand Hadoop services according to the demand, a model-driven approach to Hadoop deployment is proposed in the paper. Firstly, Hadoop demand and deployment models are presented. Secondly, the transformation method from the demand model to the deployment model is proposed. Thirdly, the bidirectional synchronization between Hadoop deployment model and running system is realized based on runtime model.
