Talk about testing large Data Pipelines, mostly inspired from my experience at LinkedIn working on relevancy and recommender system pipelines. Abstract: Applied machine learning data pipelines are being developed at a very fast pace and often exceed traditional web/business applications codebase in terms of scale and complexity. The algorithms and processes these data workflows implement fulfill business-critical applications which require robust and scalable architectures. But how to make these data pipelines robust? When the number of developers and data jobs grow while at the same time the underlying data change how do we test that everything works as expected? In software development we divide things in clean, independent modules and use unit and integration testing to prevent bugs and regression. So why is it more complicated with big data workflows? Partly because these workflows usually pull data from dozens of sources out of our control and have a large number of interdependent data processing jobs. Also, partly because we don't know yet how to do or lack the proper tools.

Data Pipelines can grow very large
That is a lot of code and data
Code contain bugs Industry Average: about 15 - 50 errors per 1000 lines of delivered code.
Data will change Industry Average: ?
Embrace automated testing of code validation of data
Because it delivers ▸ Testing ▸ Tested code has less bugs ▸ Gives the confidence to iterate quickly ▸ Scales well to multiple developers ▸ Validation ▸ Reduce manual testing ▸ Avoid catastrophic failures
But it’s challenging ▸ Testing ▸ Need data to test "realistically" ▸ Not running locally, can be expensive ▸ Tooling weaknesses ▸ Validation ▸ Data sources out of our control ▸ Difficult to test machine learning models
Reality check Source: @SteveGodwin, QCon London 2016
Manual testing Waiting Coding Looking at logs Code Upload Run workflow Look at logs ▸ Time Spent
Testing strategies
Prepare environment ▸ Care about tests from the start of your project ▸ All jobs should be functions (output only depends on input) ▸ Safe to re-run the job ▸ Does the input data still exists? ▸ Would it push partial results? ▸ Centralize configurations and no hard-coded paths ▸ Version code and timestamp data
Unit test locally ▸ Test locally each individual job ▸ Tests its good code ▸ Tests expected failures ▸ Need to overcome challenges with fake data creation ▸ Complex structures and numerous data sources ▸ Too small to be meaningful ▸ Need to specify a different configuration
Build from schemas Fake data creation based on schemas. Compare: Customer c = Customer.newBuilder().
 setId(42).
 setInterests(Arrays.asList(new Interest[]{
 Interest.newBuilder().setId(0).setName("Ping-Pong").build()
 Interest.newBuilder().setId(1).setName(“Pizza").build()})) .build(); vs Map<String, Object> c = new HashMap<>();
 c.put("id", 42);
 Map<String, Object> i1 = new HashMap<>();
 i1.put("id", 0);
 i1.put("name", "Ping-Pong");
 Map<String, Object> i2 = new HashMap<>();
 i2.put("id", 1);
 i2.put("name", "Pizza");
 c.put("interests", Arrays.asList(new Map[] {i1, i2}));
Build from schemas Avro Schema example { "type": "record", "name": "Customer", "fields": [{ "name": "id", "type": "int" }, { "name": "interests", "type": { "type": "array", "items": { "name": "Interest", "type": "record", "fields": [{ "name": "id", "type": "int" }, { "name": "name", "type": ["string", "null"] }] } } } ] } nullable field
Complex generators ▸ Developed in the field of property-based testing //Small Even Number Generator val smallEvenInteger = Gen.choose(0,200) suchThat (_ % 2 == 0) ▸ Goal is to simulate, not sample real data ▸ Define complex random generators that match properties (e.g. frequency) ▸ Can go beyond unit-testing and generate complex domain models ▸ https://www.scalacheck.org/ for Scala/Java is a good starting point for examples
Integration test on sample data ▸ Integration test the entire workflow ▸ File paths ▸ Configuration ▸ Evaluate performance ▸ Sample data ▸ Large enough to be meaningful ▸ Small enough to speed-up testing JOB A JOB B JOB C JOB D
Validation strategies
Where it fail Control Difficulty Model biases Bug Noisy data Schema changes Missing data
Input and output validation Make the pipeline robust by validating inputs and outputs Input Input Input Workflow Production ValidationValidation
Input Validation
Input data validation Input data validation is a key component of pipeline robustness. The goal is to test the entry points of our system for data quality. ETL RDBMS NOSQL EVENTS TWITTER DATA PIPELINE
Why it matters ▸ Bad input data will most likely degrade the output ▸ It likely will fail silently ▸ Because data will change ▸ Data migrations: maintenance, cluster update, new infrastructure ▸ Events change due to product evolution ▸ Data dependencies updated
Input data validation ▸ Validation code should ▸ Detect pathological data and fail early ▸ Deal with expected data variability ▸ Example issues: ▸ Missing values, encoding issues, etc. ▸ Schema changes ▸ Duplicates rows ▸ Data order changes
Pathological data ▸ Value ▸ Validity depends on a single, independent value. ▸ Easy to validate on streams of data ▸ Dataset ▸ Validity depends on the entire dataset ▸ More difficult to validate as it needs a window of data
Metadata validation Analyzing metadata is the quickest way to validate input data ▸ Number of records and file sizes ▸ Hadoop/Spark counters ▸ Number of map/reduce records, size ▸ Record-level custom counters ▸ Average text length ▸ Task-level custom counters ▸ Min/Max/Median values
Hadoop/Spark counters Results can be accessed programmatically and checked
Control inputs with Schemas ▸ CSVs aren’t robust to change, use Schemas ▸ Makes expected data explicit and easy to test against ▸ Gives basic validation for free with binary serialization (e.g. Avro, Thrift, Protocol Buffer) ▸ Typed (integer, boolean, lists etc.) ▸ Specify if value is optional ▸ Schemas can be evolved without breaking compatibility
Output Validation
Why it matters ▸ Humans makes mistake, we need a safeguard ▸ Rolling back data is often complex ▸ Bad output propagates to downstream systems Example with a recommender system // One recommendation set per user { "userId": 42, "recommendations": [{ "itemId": 1456, "score": 0.9 }, { "itemId": 4232, "score": 0.1 }], "model": "test01" }
Check for anomalies Simple strategies similar to input data validation ▸ Record level (e.g. values within bounds) ▸ Dataset level (e.g. counts, order) Challenges around relevance evaluation ▸ When supervised, use a validation dataset and threshold accuracy ▸ Introduce hypothetical examples
Incremental update as validation Join with the previous “best" output ▸ Allows fine comparisons ▸ Incremental framework can be extended to ▸ Only recompute recommendations that have changed ▸ Produce variations metric between different models Daily Recommendations Compute daily recommendationsHDFS Recommendations Yesterday Recommendations Join with previous result
External validation Even in automated environment it is possible to validate with humans ▸ Example: Search ranking evaluation ▸ Solution: Crowdsourcing ▸ Complex validation that requires training ▸ Can be automated through APIs
Mitigate risk with A/B testing Gradually rolling out data products improvements reduces the need for complex output validation ▸ Experiment can be controlled online or offline ▸ Online: Push multiple set of recommendations (1 per model) ▸ Offline: Split users and push unique set of recommendations userId -> [{
 "model": "test01",
 "recommendations": [{...}]
 }, {
 "model": "test02",
 "recommendations": [{...}]
 }] A B userId -> {
 "model": "test01",
 "recommendations": [{...}]
 }
Mitigate risk with A/B testing Important ▸ Log model variation downstream in logs ▸ Encapsulate model logic FEATURE 1-A MODEL A MODEL B FEATURE 1 FEATURE 2 MODEL A MODEL B A BA B FEATURE 1-B FEATURE 2-A FEATURE 2-B
Appendix
Hadoop Testing
Two ways to test Hadoop jobs ▸ MRUnit ▸ Java library to test MapReduce jobs in a simulated environment ▸ Last release June 2014 ▸ MiniCluster ▸ Utility to locally run a fully-functional Hadoop cluster in a test environment ▸ Ships with Hadoop itself
MiniMRCluster ▸ Advantages ▸ Behaves like a real cluster, including setup and configuration ▸ Can be used to test multiple jobs (integration testing) ▸ Disadvantages ▸ Very slow compared to unit testing Java code
MRUnit ▸ Advantages ▸ Faster ▸ Less boilerplate code ▸ Disadvantages ▸ Need to replicate job configuration ▸ Only built to test map and reduce functions ▸ Difficult to make it work with custom input formats (e.g. Avro)
MiniMRCluster setup* Setup MR cluster and obtain FileSystem @BeforeClass
 public void setup() {
 Configuration dfsConf = new Configuration();
 dfsConf.set(MiniDFSCluster.HDFS_MINIDFS_BASEDIR, new File("./target/ hdfs/").getAbsolutePath());
 _dfsCluster = new MiniDFSCluster.Builder(dfsConf).numDataNodes(1).build();
 _dfsCluster.waitClusterUp();
 _fileSystem = _dfsCluster.getFileSystem();
 
 YarnConfiguration yarnConf = new YarnConfiguration();
 yarnConf.setFloat(YarnConfiguration.NM_MAX_PER_DISK_UTILIZATION_PERCENTAGE, 99.0f);
 yarnConf.setInt(YarnConfiguration.RM_SCHEDULER_MINIMUM_ALLOCATION_MB, 64);
 yarnConf.setClass(YarnConfiguration.RM_SCHEDULER, FifoScheduler.class, ResourceScheduler.class);
 _mrCluster = new MiniMRYarnCluster(getClass().getName(), taskTrackers);
 yarnConf.set("fs.defaultFS", _fileSystem.getUri().toString());
 _mrCluster.init(yarnConf);
 _mrCluster.start();
 } * Hadoop version used 2.7.2
Keep the test file clean of boilerplate code Best is to wrap the start/stop code into a TestBase class /**
 * Default constructor with one task tracker and one node.
 */
 public TestBase() { ... }
 
 @BeforeClass
 public void startCluster() throws IOException { ... }
 
 @AfterClass
 public void stopCluster() throws IOException { ... }
 
 /**
 * Returns the Filesystem in use.
 *
 * @return the filesystem used by Hadoop.
 */
 protected FileSystem getFileSystem() {
 return _fileSystem;
 }
Initialize and clean HDFS before/after each test Clean up and initialize file system before each test private final Path _inputPath = new Path("/input");
 private final Path _cachePath = new Path("/cache");
 private final Path _outputPath = new Path("/output");
 
 @BeforeMethod
 public void beforeMethod(Method method) throws IOException {
 getFileSystem().delete(_inputPath, true);
 getFileSystem().mkdirs(_inputPath);
 getFileSystem().delete(_cachePath, true);
 }
 
 @AfterMethod
 public void afterMethod(Method method) throws IOException {
 getFileSystem().delete(_inputPath, true);
 getFileSystem().delete(_cachePath, true);
 getFileSystem().delete(_outputPath, true);
 }
Run MiniCluster Test Clean up and initialize file system before each test @Test
 public void testBasicWordCountJob() throws IOException, InterruptedException, ClassNotFoundException {
 writeWordCountInput();
 configureAndRunJob(new BasicWordCountJob(), "BasicWordCountJob", _inputPath, _outputPath);
 checkWordCountOutput();
 } private void configureAndRunJob(AbstractJob job, String name, Path inputPath, Path outputPath) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException, InterruptedException {
 Properties _props = new Properties();
 _props.setProperty("input.path", inputPath.toString());
 _props.setProperty("output.path", outputPath.toString());
 job.setProperties(_props);
 job.setName(name);
 job.run();
 }
MRUnit setup Setup MapDriver and ReduceDriver BasicWordCountJob.Map mapper;
 BasicWordCountJob.Reduce reducer;
 MapDriver<LongWritable, Text, Text, IntWritable> mapDriver;
 ReduceDriver<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> reduceDriver;
 
 @BeforeClass
 public void setup() {
 mapper = new BasicWordCountJob.Map();
 mapDriver = MapDriver.newMapDriver(mapper);
 reducer = new BasicWordCountJob.Reduce();
 reduceDriver = ReduceDriver.newReduceDriver(reducer);
 }
Run MRUnit test Set Input/Output and run Test @Test
 public void testMapper() throws IOException {
 mapDriver.withInput(new LongWritable(0), new Text("banana pear banana"));
 mapDriver.withOutput(new Text("banana"), new IntWritable(1));
 mapDriver.withOutput(new Text("pear"), new IntWritable(1));
 mapDriver.withOutput(new Text("banana"), new IntWritable(1));
 mapDriver.runTest();
 }
 
 @Test
 public void testReducer() throws IOException {
 reduceDriver.withInput(new Text("banana"), Arrays.asList(new IntWritable(1), new IntWritable(1)));
 reduceDriver.withInput(new Text("pear"), Arrays.asList(new IntWritable(1)));
 reduceDriver.withOutput(new Text("banana"), new IntWritable(2));
 reduceDriver.withOutput(new Text("pear"), new IntWritable(1));
 reduceDriver.runTest();
 }
Most common pitfall ▸ With both MiniMRCluster and MRUnit one spend most of the time ▸ Creating fake input data ▸ Verifying output data ▸ Solutions ▸ Use rich data structures format (e.g. Avro, Thrift) ▸ Use automated Java classes generation
Other common pitfalls ▸ MiniMRCluster ▸ Enable Hadoop INFO logging so you can see real job failure causes ▸ Beware of partitioning or sorting issues unrevealed when testing with too few rows and number of nodes ▸ The API has changed over the years, difficult to find examples ▸ MRUnit ▸ Custom serialization issues (e.g. Avro, Thrift)
Pig Testing
Introducing PigUnit ▸ PigUnit ▸ Official library to unit tests Pig script ▸ Ships with Pig (latest version 0.15.0) ▸ The principle is easy 1. Generate test data 2. Run script with PigUnit 3. Verify output ▸ Runs locally but can be run on a cluster too
Script example WordCount example ‣ Input and output are standard formats ‣ Uses variables $input and $output text = LOAD '$input' USING TextLoader();
 
 flattened = FOREACH text GENERATE flatten(TOKENIZE((chararray)$0)) as word;
 grouped = GROUP flattened by word;
 result = FOREACH grouped GENERATE group, (int)COUNT($1) AS cnt;
 sorted = ORDER result BY cnt DESC;
 
 STORE sorted INTO '$output' USING PigStorage('t');
PigTestBase Create PigTest object protected final FileSystem _fileSystem;
 
 protected PigTestBase() {
 System.setProperty("udf.import.list", StringUtils.join(Arrays.asList("oink.", "org.apache.pig.piggybank."), ":"));
 fileSystem = FileSystem.get(new Configuration());
 }
 
 /**
 * Creates a new <em>PigTest</em> instance ready to be used.
 *
 * @param scriptFile the path to the Pig script file
 * @param inputs the Pig arguments
 * @return new PigTest instance
 */
 protected PigTest newPigTest(String scriptFile, String[] inputs) {
 PigServer pigServer = new PigServer(ExecType.LOCAL);
 Cluster pigCluster = new Cluster(pigServer.getPigContext());
 return new PigTest(scriptFile, inputs, pigServer, pigCluster);
 }
Test using aliases getAlias() allows to obtain the data anywhere in the script @Test
 public void testWordCountAlias() throws IOException, ParseException {
 //Write input data
 BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(new File("input.txt")));
 writer.write("banana pear banana");
 writer.close();
 
 PigTest t = newPigTest("pig/src/main/pig/wordcount_text.pig", new String[] {"input=input.txt", "output=result.csv"});
 
 Iterator<Tuple> tuples = t.getAlias("sorted");
 Assert.assertTrue(tuples.hasNext());
 Tuple tuple = tuples.next();
 Assert.assertEquals(tuple.get(0), "banana");
 Assert.assertEquals(tuple.get(1), 2);
 Assert.assertTrue(tuples.hasNext());
 tuple = tuples.next();
 Assert.assertEquals(tuple.get(0), "pear");
 Assert.assertEquals(tuple.get(1), 1);
 }
Test using mock and assert ▸ mockAlias allows to substitute input data ▸ assertOutput allows to compare String output data @Test
 public void testWordCountMock() throws IOException, ParseException {
 //Write input data
 BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(new File("input.txt")));
 writer.write("banana pear banana");
 writer.close();
 
 PigTest t = newPigTest("pig/src/main/pig/wordcount_text.pig", new String[] {"input=input.txt", "output=null"});
 t.runScript();
 t.assertOutputAnyOrder("sorted", new String[]{"(banana,2)", "(pear,1)"});
 }
Both of these tools have limitations ▸ Built around standard input and output (Text, CSVs etc.) ▸ Realistically most of our data is in other formats (e.g. Avro, Thrift, JSON) ▸ Does not test the STORE function (e.g. schema errors) ▸ getAlias() is especially difficult to use ▸ Need to remember field position: tuple.get(0) ▸ assertOutput() only allows String comparison ▸ Cumbersome to write complex structures (e.g. bags of bags)
Example with Avro input/output ▸ Focus on testing script’s output ▸ Difficulty is to generate dummy Avro data and compare result text = LOAD '$input' USING AvroStorage();
 
 flattened = FOREACH text GENERATE flatten(TOKENIZE(body)) as word;
 grouped = GROUP flattened by word;
 result = FOREACH grouped GENERATE group AS word, (int)COUNT($1) AS cnt;
 sorted = ORDER result BY cnt DESC;
 
 STORE result INTO '$output' USING AvroStorage(); ▸ By default, PigUnit doesn’t execute the STORE, but it can be overridden pigTest.unoverride("STORE");
Simple utility classes for Avro ▸ BasicAvroWriter ▸ Writes Avro file on disk based on a schema ▸ Supports GenericRecord and SpecificRecord ▸ BasicAvroReader ▸ Reads Avro file, the schema heads the file ▸ Also supports GenericRecord and SpecificRecord
Test with Avro GenericRecord ▸ Create Schema with SchemaBuilder, write data, run script, read result and compare @Test
 public void testWordCountGenericRecord() throws IOException, ParseException {
 Schema schema = SchemaBuilder.builder().record("record").fields().
 name("text").type().stringType().noDefault().endRecord();
 GenericRecord genericRecord = new GenericData.Record(schema);
 genericRecord.put("text", "banana apple banana");
 
 BasicAvroWriter writer = new BasicAvroWriter(new Path(new File("input.avro").getAbsolutePath()), schema, getFileSystem());
 writer.append(genericRecord);
 
 PigTest t = newPigTest("pig/src/main/pig/wordcount_avro.pig", new String[] {"input=input.avro", "output=sorted.avro"});
 t.unoverride("STORE");
 t.runScript();
 
 //Check output
 BasicAvroReader reader = new BasicAvroReader(new Path(new File("sorted.avro").getAbsolutePath()), getFileSystem());
 Map<Utf8, GenericRecord> result = reader.readAndMapAll("word");
 Assert.assertEquals(result.size(), 2);
 Assert.assertEquals(result.get(new Utf8("banana")).get("cnt"), 2);
 Assert.assertEquals(result.get(new Utf8("apple")).get("cnt"), 1);
 }
Test with Avro SpecificRecord ▸ Use InputRecord and OutputRecord generated Java classes, write data, run script, read result and compare @Test
 public void testWordCountSpecificRecord() throws IOException, ParseException {
 InputRecord input = InputRecord.newBuilder().setText("banana apple banana").build();
 
 BasicAvroWriter<InputRecord> writer = new BasicAvroWriter<InputRecord>(new Path(new File("input.avro").getAbsolutePath()), input.getSchema(), getFileSystem());
 writer.writeAll(input);
 
 PigTest t = newPigTest("pig/src/main/pig/wordcount_avro.pig", new String[] {"input=input.avro", "output=sorted.avro"});
 t.unoverride("STORE");
 t.runScript();
 
 //Check output
 BasicAvroReader<OutputRecord> reader = new BasicAvroReader<OutputRecord>(new Path(new File("sorted.avro").getAbsolutePath()), getFileSystem());
 List<OutputRecord> result = reader.readAll();
 Assert.assertEquals(result.size(), 2);
 Assert.assertEquals(result.get(0), OutputRecord.newBuilder().setWord("banana").setCount(2).build());
 Assert.assertEquals(result.get(1), OutputRecord.newBuilder().setWord("apple").setCount(1).build());
 }
Common pitfalls ▸ PigUnit ▸ Mocking capabilities are very limited ▸ Overhead of 1-5 seconds per script ▸ Cryptic error messages sometimes (NullPointerException) ▸ Pig UDFs ▸ Can be tested independently
Spark Testing
Spark Testing Base Base classes to use when writing tests with Spark ▸ https://github.com/holdenk/spark-testing-base ▸ Functionalities ▸ Provides SparkContext ▸ Utilities to compare RDDs and DataFrames ▸ Simulate how Streaming works ▸ Includes cool RDD and DataFrames generator

  • 12. Data Pipelines can grow very large
  • 13. That is a lot of code and data
  • 14. Code contain bugs Industry Average: about 15 - 50 errors per 1000 lines of delivered code.
  • 16. Embrace automated testing of code validation of data
  • 17. Because it delivers ▸ Testing ▸ Tested code has less bugs ▸ Gives the confidence to iterate quickly ▸ Scales well to multiple developers ▸ Validation ▸ Reduce manual testing ▸ Avoid catastrophic failures
  • 18. But it’s challenging ▸ Testing ▸ Need data to test "realistically" ▸ Not running locally, can be expensive ▸ Tooling weaknesses ▸ Validation ▸ Data sources out of our control ▸ Difficult to test machine learning models
  • 20. Manual testing Waiting Coding Looking at logs Code Upload Run workflow Look at logs ▸ Time Spent
  • 22. Prepare environment ▸ Care about tests from the start of your project ▸ All jobs should be functions (output only depends on input) ▸ Safe to re-run the job ▸ Does the input data still exists? ▸ Would it push partial results? ▸ Centralize configurations and no hard-coded paths ▸ Version code and timestamp data
  • 23. Unit test locally ▸ Test locally each individual job ▸ Tests its good code ▸ Tests expected failures ▸ Need to overcome challenges with fake data creation ▸ Complex structures and numerous data sources ▸ Too small to be meaningful ▸ Need to specify a different configuration
  • 24. Build from schemas Fake data creation based on schemas. Compare: Customer c = Customer.newBuilder().
 setId(42).
 setInterests(Arrays.asList(new Interest[]{
 Interest.newBuilder().setId(0).setName("Ping-Pong").build()
 Interest.newBuilder().setId(1).setName(“Pizza").build()})) .build(); vs Map<String, Object> c = new HashMap<>();
 c.put("id", 42);
 Map<String, Object> i1 = new HashMap<>();
 i1.put("id", 0);
 i1.put("name", "Ping-Pong");
 Map<String, Object> i2 = new HashMap<>();
 i2.put("id", 1);
 i2.put("name", "Pizza");
 c.put("interests", Arrays.asList(new Map[] {i1, i2}));
  • 25. Build from schemas Avro Schema example { "type": "record", "name": "Customer", "fields": [{ "name": "id", "type": "int" }, { "name": "interests", "type": { "type": "array", "items": { "name": "Interest", "type": "record", "fields": [{ "name": "id", "type": "int" }, { "name": "name", "type": ["string", "null"] }] } } } ] } nullable field
  • 26. Complex generators ▸ Developed in the field of property-based testing //Small Even Number Generator val smallEvenInteger = Gen.choose(0,200) suchThat (_ % 2 == 0) ▸ Goal is to simulate, not sample real data ▸ Define complex random generators that match properties (e.g. frequency) ▸ Can go beyond unit-testing and generate complex domain models ▸ https://www.scalacheck.org/ for Scala/Java is a good starting point for examples
  • 27. Integration test on sample data ▸ Integration test the entire workflow ▸ File paths ▸ Configuration ▸ Evaluate performance ▸ Sample data ▸ Large enough to be meaningful ▸ Small enough to speed-up testing JOB A JOB B JOB C JOB D
  • 29. Where it fail Control Difficulty Model biases Bug Noisy data Schema changes Missing data
  • 30. Input and output validation Make the pipeline robust by validating inputs and outputs Input Input Input Workflow Production ValidationValidation
  • 32. Input data validation Input data validation is a key component of pipeline robustness. The goal is to test the entry points of our system for data quality. ETL RDBMS NOSQL EVENTS TWITTER DATA PIPELINE
  • 33. Why it matters ▸ Bad input data will most likely degrade the output ▸ It likely will fail silently ▸ Because data will change ▸ Data migrations: maintenance, cluster update, new infrastructure ▸ Events change due to product evolution ▸ Data dependencies updated
  • 34. Input data validation ▸ Validation code should ▸ Detect pathological data and fail early ▸ Deal with expected data variability ▸ Example issues: ▸ Missing values, encoding issues, etc. ▸ Schema changes ▸ Duplicates rows ▸ Data order changes
  • 35. Pathological data ▸ Value ▸ Validity depends on a single, independent value. ▸ Easy to validate on streams of data ▸ Dataset ▸ Validity depends on the entire dataset ▸ More difficult to validate as it needs a window of data
  • 36. Metadata validation Analyzing metadata is the quickest way to validate input data ▸ Number of records and file sizes ▸ Hadoop/Spark counters ▸ Number of map/reduce records, size ▸ Record-level custom counters ▸ Average text length ▸ Task-level custom counters ▸ Min/Max/Median values
  • 37. Hadoop/Spark counters Results can be accessed programmatically and checked
  • 38. Control inputs with Schemas ▸ CSVs aren’t robust to change, use Schemas ▸ Makes expected data explicit and easy to test against ▸ Gives basic validation for free with binary serialization (e.g. Avro, Thrift, Protocol Buffer) ▸ Typed (integer, boolean, lists etc.) ▸ Specify if value is optional ▸ Schemas can be evolved without breaking compatibility
  • 40. Why it matters ▸ Humans makes mistake, we need a safeguard ▸ Rolling back data is often complex ▸ Bad output propagates to downstream systems Example with a recommender system // One recommendation set per user { "userId": 42, "recommendations": [{ "itemId": 1456, "score": 0.9 }, { "itemId": 4232, "score": 0.1 }], "model": "test01" }
  • 41. Check for anomalies Simple strategies similar to input data validation ▸ Record level (e.g. values within bounds) ▸ Dataset level (e.g. counts, order) Challenges around relevance evaluation ▸ When supervised, use a validation dataset and threshold accuracy ▸ Introduce hypothetical examples
  • 42. Incremental update as validation Join with the previous “best" output ▸ Allows fine comparisons ▸ Incremental framework can be extended to ▸ Only recompute recommendations that have changed ▸ Produce variations metric between different models Daily Recommendations Compute daily recommendationsHDFS Recommendations Yesterday Recommendations Join with previous result
  • 43. External validation Even in automated environment it is possible to validate with humans ▸ Example: Search ranking evaluation ▸ Solution: Crowdsourcing ▸ Complex validation that requires training ▸ Can be automated through APIs
  • 44. Mitigate risk with A/B testing Gradually rolling out data products improvements reduces the need for complex output validation ▸ Experiment can be controlled online or offline ▸ Online: Push multiple set of recommendations (1 per model) ▸ Offline: Split users and push unique set of recommendations userId -> [{
 "model": "test01",
 "recommendations": [{...}]
 }, {
 "model": "test02",
 "recommendations": [{...}]
 }] A B userId -> {
 "model": "test01",
 "recommendations": [{...}]
 }
  • 45. Mitigate risk with A/B testing Important ▸ Log model variation downstream in logs ▸ Encapsulate model logic FEATURE 1-A MODEL A MODEL B FEATURE 1 FEATURE 2 MODEL A MODEL B A BA B FEATURE 1-B FEATURE 2-A FEATURE 2-B
  • 48. Two ways to test Hadoop jobs ▸ MRUnit ▸ Java library to test MapReduce jobs in a simulated environment ▸ Last release June 2014 ▸ MiniCluster ▸ Utility to locally run a fully-functional Hadoop cluster in a test environment ▸ Ships with Hadoop itself
  • 49. MiniMRCluster ▸ Advantages ▸ Behaves like a real cluster, including setup and configuration ▸ Can be used to test multiple jobs (integration testing) ▸ Disadvantages ▸ Very slow compared to unit testing Java code
  • 50. MRUnit ▸ Advantages ▸ Faster ▸ Less boilerplate code ▸ Disadvantages ▸ Need to replicate job configuration ▸ Only built to test map and reduce functions ▸ Difficult to make it work with custom input formats (e.g. Avro)
  • 51. MiniMRCluster setup* Setup MR cluster and obtain FileSystem @BeforeClass
 public void setup() {
 Configuration dfsConf = new Configuration();
 dfsConf.set(MiniDFSCluster.HDFS_MINIDFS_BASEDIR, new File("./target/ hdfs/").getAbsolutePath());
 _dfsCluster = new MiniDFSCluster.Builder(dfsConf).numDataNodes(1).build();
 _dfsCluster.waitClusterUp();
 _fileSystem = _dfsCluster.getFileSystem();
 
 YarnConfiguration yarnConf = new YarnConfiguration();
 yarnConf.setFloat(YarnConfiguration.NM_MAX_PER_DISK_UTILIZATION_PERCENTAGE, 99.0f);
 yarnConf.setInt(YarnConfiguration.RM_SCHEDULER_MINIMUM_ALLOCATION_MB, 64);
 yarnConf.setClass(YarnConfiguration.RM_SCHEDULER, FifoScheduler.class, ResourceScheduler.class);
 _mrCluster = new MiniMRYarnCluster(getClass().getName(), taskTrackers);
 yarnConf.set("fs.defaultFS", _fileSystem.getUri().toString());
 _mrCluster.init(yarnConf);
 _mrCluster.start();
 } * Hadoop version used 2.7.2
  • 52. Keep the test file clean of boilerplate code Best is to wrap the start/stop code into a TestBase class /**
 * Default constructor with one task tracker and one node.
 */
 public TestBase() { ... }
 
 @BeforeClass
 public void startCluster() throws IOException { ... }
 
 @AfterClass
 public void stopCluster() throws IOException { ... }
 
 /**
 * Returns the Filesystem in use.
 *
 * @return the filesystem used by Hadoop.
 */
 protected FileSystem getFileSystem() {
 return _fileSystem;
 }
  • 53. Initialize and clean HDFS before/after each test Clean up and initialize file system before each test private final Path _inputPath = new Path("/input");
 private final Path _cachePath = new Path("/cache");
 private final Path _outputPath = new Path("/output");
 
 @BeforeMethod
 public void beforeMethod(Method method) throws IOException {
 getFileSystem().delete(_inputPath, true);
 getFileSystem().mkdirs(_inputPath);

 }
 
 @AfterMethod
 public void afterMethod(Method method) throws IOException {
 getFileSystem().delete(_inputPath, true);
 getFileSystem().delete(_cachePath, true);

 }
  • 54. Run MiniCluster Test Clean up and initialize file system before each test @Test
 public void testBasicWordCountJob() throws IOException, InterruptedException, ClassNotFoundException {
 writeWordCountInput();
 configureAndRunJob(new BasicWordCountJob(), "BasicWordCountJob", _inputPath, _outputPath);

 _props.setProperty("input.path", inputPath.toString());
 _props.setProperty("output.path", outputPath.toString());
 job.setProperties(_props);
 job.setName(name);
 job.run();
 }
  • 55. MRUnit setup Setup MapDriver and ReduceDriver BasicWordCountJob.Map mapper;
 BasicWordCountJob.Reduce reducer;
 MapDriver<LongWritable, Text, Text, IntWritable> mapDriver;
 ReduceDriver<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> reduceDriver;
 
 @BeforeClass
 public void setup() {
 mapper = new BasicWordCountJob.Map();
 mapDriver = MapDriver.newMapDriver(mapper);
 reducer = new BasicWordCountJob.Reduce();
 reduceDriver = ReduceDriver.newReduceDriver(reducer);
 }
  • 56. Run MRUnit test Set Input/Output and run Test @Test
 public void testMapper() throws IOException {
 mapDriver.withInput(new LongWritable(0), new Text("banana pear banana"));
 mapDriver.withOutput(new Text("banana"), new IntWritable(1));
 mapDriver.withOutput(new Text("pear"), new IntWritable(1));
 mapDriver.withOutput(new Text("banana"), new IntWritable(1));
 mapDriver.runTest();
 }
 
 @Test
 public void testReducer() throws IOException {
 reduceDriver.withInput(new Text("banana"), Arrays.asList(new IntWritable(1), new IntWritable(1)));
 reduceDriver.withInput(new Text("pear"), Arrays.asList(new IntWritable(1)));
 reduceDriver.withOutput(new Text("banana"), new IntWritable(2));
 reduceDriver.withOutput(new Text("pear"), new IntWritable(1));
 reduceDriver.runTest();
 }
  • 57. Most common pitfall ▸ With both MiniMRCluster and MRUnit one spend most of the time ▸ Creating fake input data ▸ Verifying output data ▸ Solutions ▸ Use rich data structures format (e.g. Avro, Thrift) ▸ Use automated Java classes generation
  • 58. Other common pitfalls ▸ MiniMRCluster ▸ Enable Hadoop INFO logging so you can see real job failure causes ▸ Beware of partitioning or sorting issues unrevealed when testing with too few rows and number of nodes ▸ The API has changed over the years, difficult to find examples ▸ MRUnit ▸ Custom serialization issues (e.g. Avro, Thrift)
  • 60. Introducing PigUnit ▸ PigUnit ▸ Official library to unit tests Pig script ▸ Ships with Pig (latest version 0.15.0) ▸ The principle is easy 1. Generate test data 2. Run script with PigUnit 3. Verify output ▸ Runs locally but can be run on a cluster too
  • 61. Script example WordCount example ‣ Input and output are standard formats ‣ Uses variables $input and $output text = LOAD '$input' USING TextLoader();
 
 flattened = FOREACH text GENERATE flatten(TOKENIZE((chararray)$0)) as word;
 grouped = GROUP flattened by word;
 result = FOREACH grouped GENERATE group, (int)COUNT($1) AS cnt;
 sorted = ORDER result BY cnt DESC;
 
 STORE sorted INTO '$output' USING PigStorage('t');
  • 62. PigTestBase Create PigTest object protected final FileSystem _fileSystem;
 
 protected PigTestBase() {
 System.setProperty("udf.import.list", StringUtils.join(Arrays.asList("oink.", "org.apache.pig.piggybank."), ":"));
 fileSystem = FileSystem.get(new Configuration());
 }
 
 /**
 * Creates a new <em>PigTest</em> instance ready to be used.
 *
 * @param scriptFile the path to the Pig script file
 * @param inputs the Pig arguments
 * @return new PigTest instance
 */
 protected PigTest newPigTest(String scriptFile, String[] inputs) {
 PigServer pigServer = new PigServer(ExecType.LOCAL);
 Cluster pigCluster = new Cluster(pigServer.getPigContext());
 return new PigTest(scriptFile, inputs, pigServer, pigCluster);
 }
  • 63. Test using aliases getAlias() allows to obtain the data anywhere in the script @Test
 public void testWordCountAlias() throws IOException, ParseException {
 //Write input data
 BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(new File("input.txt")));
 writer.write("banana pear banana");
 writer.close();
 
 PigTest t = newPigTest("pig/src/main/pig/wordcount_text.pig", new String[] {"input=input.txt", "output=result.csv"});
 
 Iterator<Tuple> tuples = t.getAlias("sorted");
 Assert.assertTrue(tuples.hasNext());
 Tuple tuple = tuples.next();
 Assert.assertEquals(tuple.get(0), "banana");
 Assert.assertEquals(tuple.get(1), 2);
 Assert.assertTrue(tuples.hasNext());
 tuple = tuples.next();
 Assert.assertEquals(tuple.get(0), "pear");
 Assert.assertEquals(tuple.get(1), 1);
 }
  • 64. Test using mock and assert ▸ mockAlias allows to substitute input data ▸ assertOutput allows to compare String output data @Test
 public void testWordCountMock() throws IOException, ParseException {
 //Write input data
 BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(new File("input.txt")));
 writer.write("banana pear banana");
 writer.close();
 
 PigTest t = newPigTest("pig/src/main/pig/wordcount_text.pig", new String[] {"input=input.txt", "output=null"});
 t.runScript();
 t.assertOutputAnyOrder("sorted", new String[]{"(banana,2)", "(pear,1)"});
 }
  • 65. Both of these tools have limitations ▸ Built around standard input and output (Text, CSVs etc.) ▸ Realistically most of our data is in other formats (e.g. Avro, Thrift, JSON) ▸ Does not test the STORE function (e.g. schema errors) ▸ getAlias() is especially difficult to use ▸ Need to remember field position: tuple.get(0) ▸ assertOutput() only allows String comparison ▸ Cumbersome to write complex structures (e.g. bags of bags)
  • 66. Example with Avro input/output ▸ Focus on testing script’s output ▸ Difficulty is to generate dummy Avro data and compare result text = LOAD '$input' USING AvroStorage();
 
 flattened = FOREACH text GENERATE flatten(TOKENIZE(body)) as word;
 grouped = GROUP flattened by word;
 result = FOREACH grouped GENERATE group AS word, (int)COUNT($1) AS cnt;
 sorted = ORDER result BY cnt DESC;
 
 STORE result INTO '$output' USING AvroStorage(); ▸ By default, PigUnit doesn’t execute the STORE, but it can be overridden pigTest.unoverride("STORE");
  • 67. Simple utility classes for Avro ▸ BasicAvroWriter ▸ Writes Avro file on disk based on a schema ▸ Supports GenericRecord and SpecificRecord ▸ BasicAvroReader ▸ Reads Avro file, the schema heads the file ▸ Also supports GenericRecord and SpecificRecord
  • 68. Test with Avro GenericRecord ▸ Create Schema with SchemaBuilder, write data, run script, read result and compare @Test
 public void testWordCountGenericRecord() throws IOException, ParseException {
 Schema schema = SchemaBuilder.builder().record("record").fields().
 name("text").type().stringType().noDefault().endRecord();
 GenericRecord genericRecord = new GenericData.Record(schema);
 genericRecord.put("text", "banana apple banana");
 
 BasicAvroWriter writer = new BasicAvroWriter(new Path(new File("input.avro").getAbsolutePath()), schema, getFileSystem());
 writer.append(genericRecord);
 
 PigTest t = newPigTest("pig/src/main/pig/wordcount_avro.pig", new String[] {"input=input.avro", "output=sorted.avro"});
 t.unoverride("STORE");
 t.runScript();
 
 //Check output
 BasicAvroReader reader = new BasicAvroReader(new Path(new File("sorted.avro").getAbsolutePath()), getFileSystem());
 Map<Utf8, GenericRecord> result = reader.readAndMapAll("word");
 Assert.assertEquals(result.size(), 2);
 Assert.assertEquals(result.get(new Utf8("banana")).get("cnt"), 2);
 Assert.assertEquals(result.get(new Utf8("apple")).get("cnt"), 1);
 }
  • 69. Test with Avro SpecificRecord ▸ Use InputRecord and OutputRecord generated Java classes, write data, run script, read result and compare @Test
 public void testWordCountSpecificRecord() throws IOException, ParseException {
 InputRecord input = InputRecord.newBuilder().setText("banana apple banana").build();
 
 BasicAvroWriter<InputRecord> writer = new BasicAvroWriter<InputRecord>(new Path(new File("input.avro").getAbsolutePath()), input.getSchema(), getFileSystem());
 writer.writeAll(input);
 
 PigTest t = newPigTest("pig/src/main/pig/wordcount_avro.pig", new String[] {"input=input.avro", "output=sorted.avro"});
 t.unoverride("STORE");
 t.runScript();
 
 //Check output
 BasicAvroReader<OutputRecord> reader = new BasicAvroReader<OutputRecord>(new Path(new File("sorted.avro").getAbsolutePath()), getFileSystem());
 List<OutputRecord> result = reader.readAll();
 Assert.assertEquals(result.size(), 2);
 Assert.assertEquals(result.get(0), OutputRecord.newBuilder().setWord("banana").setCount(2).build());
 Assert.assertEquals(result.get(1), OutputRecord.newBuilder().setWord("apple").setCount(1).build());
