My last team Building at Verisk - Into The Wild - Team Building Nov 26,2011 @ Chitwan National Park

November 2011: early morning departure

On the outset of our trip to Chitwan National Park, I wake up quite early at 6 o’clock in the morning. I was forced to wait for an hour by Saroj in a chilly morning at kalimati. Eventually he arrived with some sort of
a crazy excuse of being late. Nevertheless, let’s begin our excursion with Santosh and Subhash dai being the ones to turn up at earliest in VIT premises. No surprises, there were few who would be late. Milan dai was the last one and made us to wait for some time. Here we are at VIT. Left Kathmandu one hour late than our scheduled time.

On the Pictures

On the trip we had a lot of fun apparently there were many Gorrila programmars on the bus. In the end after all the fun we had for two days, I felt that those two days we passed in Chitwan national Park were amongst the most memorable time of my entire life. Chitwan National park was well beyond my expectations. We enjoyed canoeing, elephants ride, jungle safari and beers in the night. Pratik, Saroj were the ones who were really high. I believe I was ok :)

Babins made a collage out of some pictures we took in the jungle. Evidently, he is seen in almost all photos.

Memorable events :-

Ashish  did not miss the show like previously
Pratik was very high follwed by Saroj
Poojan was the cheerLeader who also broke a cable wire from bus top
Missed Shamesh dai. He could not make it
Sudip splashed water at Rosy
Santosh was the Gump in the Forrest but a sleepy one
Tilak was attacked by the tiger when we were on the roof of the bus

Participants :- Navaraj awasti, Bishal Acharya, Santosh Pradhan, Eurika Manandhar, Rosy Sunuwar, Ashish Karki, Babins Shrestha, Milan Shrestha, Subhash Devkota, Biru Charan Sainju, Goonjan Shakya, Tilak Joshi, Sudip Agrawal, Niju Shrestha, Manish hada, Ram Kasula, Nitesh Bashnet, Priya Dangol, Bikesh babu Rajbanshi.

swapping two variables without using the third one

Case 1 : Variable is a number
If X = 4, Y = 2 We need to swap the values of X and Y Traditional approach involves a temporary variable
int x=4; y=2;
int temp;
temp = y;
y = x;
x = temp;

Optimal approach

X = X + Y; (X = 4+2 =6)
Y = X - Y; (Y = 6-2 =4)
X = X - Y; (X = 4-2 =2)

Final result : X= 2, Y=4

Prove the language L ={w | w belongs to (0+1)^*, where w contains equal number of a's and b's} is not regular

Prove the language L1 ={w | w , where w contains equal number of a's and b's} is not regular

Proof :

Let,
Language L2 = 0^*1^* --------------- A
Language L3 = {0^n1^n | n>=0} --------- B

L1∩L2 = L3 --------------- C

hence, from A we know that L1 is regular
then L3 is also regular. This produces contradiction. hence L1 must not be regular.


result : Language where w contains equals number of a's and b's is not regular
see Pumping Lemma For regular Language

Pumping Lemma For Regular languages

For any infinite regular language, there exists some positive integer m such that for any w belongs to L with w >=m, it can be decomposed as :

For, W = XYZ
with |XY| <=m and |Y|>=1

such that W = [XY^iZ] , i=0,1,2,3,4.....is also in L

One of the applications of pumping lemma is that we can use it to prove whether the language is regular or not.

L = {a^nb^n | n>=0} is not regular

Proof :-

Assume L is regular
Lets assume a pumping length be m
Considering a word W in L = a^mb^m According to Pumping lemma W can be partitioned into three parts XYZ such that |XY|<=m and |y|>=1

Since we know that |XY|<=m and |y|>=1 there should be at least one a in Y. For any number m, Y would be a^m

if Y = a^m this implies that X = a^n-m

Testing for range of values of power of i

if i =1 we have W = [ a^n-m a^1m b^n ] belongs to language.

similarly, for i=2

We have W as a^n-m a^2m b^n = a^n+m b^n where number of a's are greater than b, hence does not belongs to the language.

Encrypt & decrypt with RSA algorithm

The RSA algorithm is named after Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Len Adleman, the persons responsible for its creation. Lets see an example of how can we perform encryption and decryption with RSA.

Suppose we have,

p=2; q =11; e=7; and Message to be encrypted is M =5

To encrypt the given message with RSA algorithm,

Calculating Euler totient function φ = (p-1)(q-1) = 1 * 10 = 10

calculating n = (p. q) = (2. 11) = 22

Cipher Text c = m^e (mod n)
= 5^7 (mod 22)
= 3

Hence encryption of message 5 is done into cipher text =3
c is the cipher text

Decrypt(c) = c^d (mod n)

Here we have to find d such that ed-1 is divisible by φ
when d = 1 then ( ed-1 ) = 7*1 -1 = 6 not divisible by (φ = 10)
when d = 2 then ( ed-1 ) = 7*2 -1 = 13 not divisible by (φ = 10)
when d = 3 then ( ed-1 ) = 7*3 -1 = 20 divisible by (φ = 10)

Hence we take d =3
So, Decrypt(c) = c^d (mod n) = 3^3 (mod 22) = 27 (mod 22) gives original message 5

Hence decryption done.

Hadoop HDFS and HBase Configuration

Hadoop HDFS and HBase Configuration

We assume that you have theoretical knowledge of hadoop, hdfs, hbase and ZooKeeper. This document will provide the basic configuration for hdfs, hbase and ZooKeeper.

Software Requirements for hadoop/Hbase:
1. JavaTM 1.6.x
2. ssh must be installed and sshd must be running to use the Hadoop scripts that manage remote Hadoop daemons.
3. Hadoop
4. HBase
5. Zoo Keeper

Machine Descriptions:
hbasemaster : Hbase Master
nameNode : Namenode

RS1: Region Server for Hbase
RS2: Region Server for Hbase
RS3: Region Server for Hbase

zk1: ZooKeeper Quorum
zk2: ZooKeeper Quorum
zk3: ZooKeeper Quorum

dt1: Data Nodes and Task Tracker
dt2: Data Nodes and Task Tracker
dt3: Data Nodes and Task Tracker
dt4: Data Nodes and Task Tracker

If we are searching for Job tracker, we will make it when we need to work on map reduce till then we do not need job tracker.

Hadoop Configuration
Unzip the hadoop folder in /home/hadoop/softwares i.e. /home/hadoop/softwares/hadoop-0.20.1/

In conf/hadoop-env.sh of hadoop-0.20.1,set JAVA_HOME: "/opt/jdk1.6.0_06",
Administrators can configure individual daemons using the configuration options HADOOP_*_OPTS. Various options available are shown below in the table.


NameNode HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS
DataNode HADOOP_DATANODE_OPTS
SecondaryNamenode HADOOP_SECONDARYNAMENODE_OPTS
JobTracker HADOOP_JOBTRACKER_OPTS
TaskTracker HADOOP_TASKTRACKER_OPTS



Folder structure: (/home/hadoop/hdfs)
For data node: /home/hadoop/hdfs/data
For name node: /home/hadoop/hdfs/name


Note that we should have a common user named "hadoop" under a group named "supergroup".

ssh Configuration in Hadoop cluster

Step 1: Generate key at server machine
ssh-keygen -t dsa

Respond to the prompt:
• give empty passphrase (return key)
• leave default filepath or give

Step 2: Import to authorized keys
cat file.pub (eg ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub) >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Step 3: Change mode file of the following folders
• ~/.ssh-->700
• ~/.ssh/* -->644

Step 4: Copy public key from server to all nodes
--ssh-copy-id -i source-filename user@remotehostname(or ip)
--give passphrase of the user here

Verification:
ssh destination host (or ip)
it should not ask for password

HDFS Configurations:
Hadoop configuration is driven by two types of important configuration files:
1. Read-only default configuration - src/core/core-default.xml, src/hdfs/hdfs-default.xml and src/mapred/mapred-default.xml.
2. Site-specific configuration - conf/core-site.xml, conf/hdfs-site.xml and conf/mapred-site.xml.

In ~/hadoop-0.20.1/conf, we need to make changes to core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml configuration files for hadoop.

core-site.xml: We need to mention the ip address or domain name of Name node.
Parameter Value Notes
fs.default.name URI of NameNode. hdfs://namenode.XYZ.com:9001/

conf/hdfs-site.xml
Parameter Value
dfs.name.dir /home/hadoop/hdfs/name
dfs.data.dir /home/hadoop/hdfs/data


Slaves
List all slave hostnames or IP addresses in your conf/slaves file, one per line.

Starting Hadoop

To start a Hadoop cluster we will need to start both the HDFS and MapReduce

Format a new distributed filesystem:
$ bin/hadoop namenode -format

Start the HDFS with the following command, run on the designated NameNode:
$ bin/start-dfs.sh

The bin/start-dfs.sh script also consults the ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/slaves file on the NameNode and starts the DataNode daemon on all the listed slaves.

Stop HDFS with the following command, run on the designated NameNode:
$ bin/stop-dfs.sh

The bin/stop-dfs.sh script also consults the ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/slaves file on the NameNode and stops the DataNode daemon on all the listed slaves.

HBASE Configuration

Step 1 # Download HBase distribution from apache mirror. We are using Hbase 0.20.3
Step 2 # Extract the distribution to /home/hadoop/softwares/
Step 3 # Rename the folder name to hbase
Step 4 # Give all the permission (777) to the user to access hbase directory for user hadoop
Step 5 # Set the JAVA_HOME in hbase-site.xml file

hbase-site.conf

Parameter value Description
hbase.rootdir hdfs://hbaseMaster.XYZ.com:9001/hbase
hbase.master hbaseMaster. XYZ.com
hbase.cluster.distributed * true The mode cluster will be in.true : fully distributed with
unmanaged Zookeeper when false : standalone or pseudo distributed with managed zookeeper
hbase.zookeeper.quorum * zk1.XYZ.com,zk2.XYZ.com,xk3.XYZ.com Comma separated list of servers in the ZooKeeper Quorum.
This is the list of servers which we will start/stop ZooKeeper on.


Step 6 # either put hdfs-site.xml in hbase path or copy hdfs-site.xml from hadoop installation directory to hbase/conf directory

hdfs-site.conf
Parameter Value Description
dfs.data.dir /home/hadoop/hdfs/data
dfs.name.dir /home/hadoop/hdfs/name
dfs.namenode.logging.level all The logging level for dfs namenode. Other values are "dir"(trac
e namespace mutations), "block"(trace block under/over replications and block
creations/deletions), or "all"
dfs.datanode.socket.write.timeout 0
dfs.datanode.max.xcievers 2048
dfs.datanode.handler.count 10

step 7 # Set the regionServers list on regionservers file in hbase/conf
RS1.d2hs.com
RS2.d2hs.com
RS3.d2hs.com

step 8 #Give the permissions to hadoop user for hbase directory and hadoop directory (CHMOD 755)
step 9 # edit ~/.bashrc file and append ulimit -c 2048 to the end of the file being root user
step 10 # edit /etc/security/limits.conf to include the following two lines
hadoop soft nofile 32768
hadoop hard nofile 32768

step 11 # start the hdfs nameNode on the namenode master
bin/start-dfs.sh

step 12# start the HBase system from the hbase directory
bin/hbase-start-hbase.sh
Step #13 start hbase shell
bin/hbase shell


Hadoop commands

To view the details of HM directory

bin/hadoop dfs –ls /user/local/input/HM/
bin/hadoop dfs –cat /user/local/input/HM/files.txt


The right number of reduces seems to be 0.95 or 1.75 multiplied by ( * mapred.tasktracker.reduce.tasks.maximum) see apache mapreduce
The right level of parallelism for maps seems to be around 10-100 maps per-node

Setting replication factor for a directory in HDFS

hadoop dfs -setrep -w 3 -R /user/hadoop/dir1

What I have done and what I have not !

I dont take the credit for publishing this post. I would have to admit that I copied the concept for this post from Sadhana . Its the attraction in the theme which I could not resist.

It is really difficult admitting something which might ruin your image and I am not quite sure I would be able to do it now but I promise to do it in future when I could gather enough guts within myself.

What I have done so far?

1. Flown in a Jet : Yes, to be exact 5 times [Update] Now as of Feb 7 2012 It is 9 times.


2. Adventure sports : Did Bungy jump from 160m cliff. Went to pokhara for Paragliding from sarangkot hill. My plan was canceled 15 minutes prior to scheduled time for paragliding due to sinister rain. Sky diving is on my list as well but the bottomline for sky diving is that I have to go abroad.


3.Been to continents ? Only Asia I regret. Europe and America is on my list. OK, no bias with continents I add Africa, Australia and Antarctica too on the list. Fingers crossed for my wish. [Update] 2012 January I stepped on Europe in Frankfort and have been living in North America [USA]. Now its the turn for Australia, Africa.


6.Been to different countries ? Nepal, India, Japan just three until now. There are a lot of countries in my cards of visit. I would love to go to Iceland, Sicily Italy, Paris, Galapagos, Vienna and USA. More to add to this list. Its 4 now [2012]. USA added to the list in Jan 11 2012


7.Swimming : Been to pool but I cannot swim. 5 feet depth is the ultimate place I would dare to be.


8.Eaten raw meat : Ya, From Raw fish, Raw squid, Raw flesh of whale, Raw octopus, Raw sea-urchin, Raw crab and finally now don't blame me, I was forced this time : Raw flesh of horse.


9.Had crush on a girl : hahaha, Yes I am not an objection :) But never had a girlfriend until now. Now don't ask for her name. The only hint I can give is that her name starts from A and ends on A.


10. Lived in freezing cold : Yes, In Hokkaido, Japan I lived in a city called Wakkanai near Russia, The northernmost city of Japan where temperature might fall to -30 degree celcius in winter.


11.Seen an Ocean : Yes pacific Ocean in Japan [2008] & pacific ocean from western USA In california


12.Traveled on roof of a bus : Yes, while returning back from Phulchoki hill after watching the snow probably when I was in 3rd year of my B.E. The bus was packed and we did not have any option but rather to travel on top of the bus. Dont regret it :)


13.Touched Snow : Snow was part of my life when I was studying in northern japan. 6 months of snowfall. It was enjoying initially but later on I was fed up throwing snow from my apartment. My door would be jammed by piles of overnight snowfall.


14.Taken alcoholic drinks : Yes :) The first time I tasted beer was when I was in 3rd year B.E. The initial taste was horrible. It was just a sip but enough for me to make a negative image of it. I learned to drink beer in Japan. Now I take it occasionally. I don't drink hard drinks though. Whiskey, Gin, Vodka, Scotch is still a taboo for me. Just beer and that too with friends only.


15. Seen Code monkeys : Yes, a lot of them. I can name them too :D I have also seen the remix version called Gorilla Monkey. My project mates know this :P


What I have not done so far?

1. Never Been to America : It would be a dream come true If i get a chance to go. Want to get an American degree. Its more than just an academic degree. Its a passion, passion to see the world, to be amongst the best in the world would be a matter of pride and honor to any person in this world. [Update] I am in America now :)


2. Never had any girlfriend : Nowadays its become a fashion to have at least one girlfriend. Not having a girlfriend is seen as an inability. I dont have one until now. Fingers crossed :D


3. Never been to a disco : Yet to visit a disco. The reason why i havent been to a discotheque might be because I cant dance. Its not that I dont like dance but I cant do it.


4. Never seen a big mountain close : Its a shame really. I am born in Nepal but am yet to witness the glory of our wonderful mountains. I truly wish to go to Annapurna circuit, Gosaikunda, manang, Mustang to witness lovely mountains which have been in my dreams for decades now.


5. Never danced : The reason is simple as that : I cannot dance. I love doing new stuffs, lets see If I could do it one day.


6. Never got the experience of Roller Coaster : No Roller Coaster in Nepal. [Update] Am thinking of going to a roller coaster in Vegas. Got the first ride in Revenge of the Mummy [Universal Studios 2012] 


7. Never smoked : May be twice, thrice. Just to know what is the magic in it that so many people take it. It was nothing special


And the list for have and have not goes on. The have list will certainly increase in future.

Could only be replicated to 0 nodes, instead of 1 Hadoop 0.20.2

could only be replicated to 0 nodes, instead of 1 is a common problem we encounter in hadoop time and often.

I faced this problem in my single node hadoop cluster. When I surfed in the internet for possible answer, I was taken to hadoop's website HowToSetupYourDevelopmentEnvironment. The hadoop wiki was making suggestions to erase all HDFS data and reformat it. The suggestion was far from being pragmatic that we have to reformat our cluster for any potential problem in HDFS. Imagine we have a production cluster and we have to reformat it.


Steps to Fix :

Issue df command to view the space available in each Linux mount we have and more specifically the mount hadoop is in.

[root@bishal hadoop-0.20.2]# df -kh


Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdg3 143G 135G 0M 100% /
/dev/hdg1 99M 11M 83M 12% /boot
none 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm



Upon issuing this comand I found that my filesystem had no disk space available. The inability of hadoop write in HDFS was due to insufficient disk space. Freed some disk space and the problem was solved.


Issue Linux command to empty Recycle bin

[root@bishal hadoop-0.20.2]# rm -rf ~/.Trash/*rm

Now recheck the disk space. Delete some unnecessary files in your FileSystem if upon emptying Recycle bin not enough space is freed. Enough disk space should be freed to let hadoop write files in HDFS. If the block size for hadoop is 128MB, make sure we have fread at least 128MB of disk space.


Now run your MapReduce job. The problem with should be fixed.

poisoned ethics and tainted professionalism : Politicians of Nepal

Its the day when it all started. The situation around me was provocative to some people while for others it was just another opportunity to remain in and around power. The struggle has begun, It is seen as a class struggle between those who were always at power and occupying the resources for long time and those who were always lagging behind in all aspects be it social, political or economical. There is always this difference which causes disturbance. In nature, when there is this difference in proportion at the rate of consuming and the rate of producing then there is natural disturbance and someone has to perish in order to maintain this order, in this case it might be the producer or the consumer.


Nepal is going through this phase, the suppression and dominance of certain clan and class has reached saturation level. Moreover, the increase in political awareness amongst the masses and ever contracting information gap has fueled revolt. This time it seems like the country is in a stage of fragmentation, people have started fighting amongst each other, everyone is representing some class and sector and they have almost forgot they are Nepalis first before being from any class and sector. Although its a natural process which has occurred in almost all part of the world and its just recent that Nepal is facing this problem.Certainly there has to be an end to this destruction. Someone has to win, either the revolutionaries and patriots or the corrupts who in the name of democracy and political freedom has sucked the blood from the fellow countrymen since ages. Its the last chance for the corrupts, to win this battle and will try to give whatever power they have to win.Now this has become the battle between the poor the suppressed and the suppressors. The UML and Congress are seen as the ones carrying old traditional thoughts and are reluctant to change whereas the Maoists who are portrayed as destructor's, the violators of law by them have brought radical political thoughts and ideas.Is it just that the Maoists want to change the economic and political system of Nepal or they have other motives as well? Although its a daunting task for them its not an impossible task. But, what we have seen of Maoists up until now, Its easier for the commoners to see them as no different than Nepali Congress or CPN UML. This time they have the support of the mass next time who knows. Nevertheless, we cannot undermine the class which do wants change and wants the state to recognize them after decades of oppression. There are people like Vijay Gachhadar, K.P Oli, Bidya Bhandari, Madhab Nepal, Bhim Rawal, Sushil koirala, Ramchandra Paudel, KhumBahadur Khadka, Govinda Raj Joshi, Bharat Mohan Adhikari,j.p Gupta, Rajendra mahato, Sarad singh Bhandari, Govinda Raj Joshi, Mahanta Thakur, Hridayesh Tripathi and most of the politicians who have been involved in crime and corruption of some sort in the past.Can we expect peace and progress with these politicians still intact as rulers ? But the fate of the country is such that these parasites keep on germinating and do not perish no matter how fragile is the condition of the nation. The country is entangled at the moment with these parasites, and they will leave no stone unturned to suck blood from the people. Its the time when people have to take power in their hands and should penalize the felons hiding in the curtain of democracy, but the big question lies here how ? people dont want yet another war. The justice has to attained. The verdict should be made but in peaceful democratic manner.


Certainly its not an easy task to eliminate these looters, but one day or another the day of justice will come and people wont forgive them then. They have to suffer each and every bit of pain they have given to the people. The history of mankind is the evidence that bad never wins no matter how much it tries to hide in the skin of truth and humanity. Madhab Nepal as such has created history in the history of Nepal as being the most corrupt and morally degraded figure. He seemed to be worst than the panches and mandales in the kings regime, Although the panches and mandales were tyrants and oppressors but they would never compromise their dignity in front of foreigners. But, Madhab Nepal seemed to be in a great mood in pleasing whosoever involved in making him the PM.


Apparently when I had completed my plus 2 and came to Kathmandu along with many other students throughout the country with dreams of being doctors and engineers. It was then when although having given heart out many of the students couldn't be doctors and get scholarships simply because along with us giving exam was academically weaker but being the daughter of Madhab Kumar Nepal who pleaded in front of India for giving scholarships to her daughter taking the right of many other brilliant students. He has been continually doing similar act of ethical and moral corruption since then be it the case when his under-qualified bureaucrat was sent to Hongkong who has been under lime light of corruption and complain since then. He has been successful in taking his wife to a senior post of Nepal Bank Limited and also was engaged in bringing his brother to singha durbar in his reign as PM of Nepal. His brother in law being an officer in CIAA is an evidence of him being a king of nepotism. When I was in Japan, He was on a trip to it as well. There many of the UML cadres left the party seeing his greediness. He had been to a shopping Mall where he had been continually pressurizing the cadres to buy him whichever materials he saw. Seeing a greedy person, who was then the chief of UML many people left the party. The country was yet to forget the betrayed Mahakali Treaty when it had to face the same person again. People of country has to bear in their mind that It is Madhab Nepal who said that he is not in favor of Constituent assembly when he was PM. It is not a big surprise to us because we had never sent him to make the constitution. The people now are capable of understanding who are real leaders and who are the masquerades. People from two areas slapped him in election but what a fate of the country? It still had to bear his moral corruption for more than an year. Relieved at last now when the PM is Baburam Bhattarai. During his tenure, People felt as if they were living in a country where there were no ethics, where there were no morality.Be it the case with his minister Karima Begam slapping a CDO or another minister Chanda Chaudhary breaking glass of the public vehicle. The worst part of these incidents were that Madhab Nepal never showed a sign of shame and repugnance. He was bold as ever. Evidently with such incidents, Nepal was declared most corrupt country in Asia. Adding insult to injury, he removed Ansari, state minister simply because he had won in CA elections, making the cabinet a mockery to democracy. Democracy is a system where elected people are to rule a nation. But, here the case was different. Madhab Nepal made a history again, in making a cabinet a nest of loosers in CA election. Never in the history of any country such a drama had been seen, when people were ruled by losers. Bidya Bahndari, shankar pokhrel, Madhab Nepal, Sujata Koirala all were losers in the election.. But to the good fate of them and the bad fate of the country, these people ruled out by the general public came to power once again. Simply disgusting. With communist in tag behind him, It was he who removed the pictures of Marx and Lenin when American ambassador Milinosky was on a visit to Balkhu. His period as a PM marks as the most unethical and corrupt In the history of our country.


Monetary corruption does not affects much as does the moral corruption. The morally corrupt is an extremist who is similar to an idol, it has no feeling, no love, no affection and it does not feels what is happening in and around him. I wont say that people like Madhab Nepal are most dangerous to this nation but I would certainly say that poisoned ethics and tainted professionalism as his is the most dangerous thing prevalent in political leaders in Nepal, because the disease they are carrying has no cure. And it has great probability of transferring to people around him.Its the fate of our nation we keep on producing people like him, our society should bear the responsibility in not being able to teach ethics to our leaders. The society should have been sterilized before it could have given birth to him. As his height, and mustache his heart is narrow too, In fact the narrowest in our country. Cursed by a widow, the country has to suffer its fate, and time and again people like him will be born in this land.

I might seem pretty harsh towards a person when there are so many like him in Nepal. The reason why I chose Madhab Kumar Nepal for the topic was simply because he suits best for the topic. Although there are many other Madhab Nepal alike politicians masquerading in the name of democracy, My intention here is to let fellow Nepali know of characters that resembles Madhab Nepal. The article represents my personal view and I might have to bear different tags when viewers read it. Please feel free to express your own opinion about politicians in Nepal.
