Hadoop has become a popular framework for processing data-intensive applications in cloud environments. A core constituent of Hadoop is the scheduler, which is responsible for scheduling and monitoring the jobs and tasks, and rescheduling them in case of failures. Although fault-tolerance mechanisms have been proposed for Hadoop, the performance of Hadoop can be significantly impacted by unforeseen events in the cloud environment. In this paper, we introduce a dynamic and failure-aware framework that can be integrated within Hadoop scheduler and adjust the scheduling decisions based on collected information about the cloud environment. Our framework relies on predictions made by machine learning algorithms and scheduling policies generated by a Markovian Decision Process (MDP), to adjust its scheduling decisions on the fly. Instead of the fixed heartbeat-based failure detection commonly …
