Performance monitoring tools

Monitoring basic system resources on Hadoop cluster nodes such as CPU utilization and average disk data transfer rates helps to understand the overall utilization of these hardware resources and identify any bottlenecks while diagnosing performance issues. Monitoring a Hadoop cluster includes monitoring the usage of system resources on cluster nodes along with monitoring the key service metrics. The most commonly monitored resources are I/O bandwidth, number of disk I/O operations per second, average data transfer rate, network latency, and average memory and swap space utilization.

Hadoop performance monitoring suggests collecting performance counters' data in order to determine whether the response times of various ...
