Hands-on exercises

  • Note: Input for exercises: s3://mda2014/input/wikipedia.txt
  • Exercise 0: WordCount
    • Run the basic WordCount example on your local machine and AWS
    • Follow the instructions to create your Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) cluster
    • Instructions to run WordCount on your local machine and EMR cluster will be given in class
    • Note: You don't have to submit code and results for this exercise.
  • Exercise 1: Fixed-Length WordCount
    • For this exercise, you will only count words with 5 characters
    • Output: Key is the word, and value is the number of times the word appears in the input.
  • Exercise 2: InitialCount
    • Count the number of words based on their initial (first character), i.e., count the number of words per initial
    • The letter case should not be taken into account. For example, Apple and apple will be both counted for initial A
    • Output: Key is the initial (A to Z in UPPERCASE), and value is the number of words having that initial (in either uppercase or lowercase).
  • Exercise 3: Top-K WordCount
    • Output the top 100 most frequent 7-character words, in descending order of frequency
    • Output: Key is the word, and value is the number of times the word appears in the input.
