Matlab and Hadoop integration

we made a cluster of 3 systems, having 4 workers each, altogether 12 workers.

After scheduling a job in MATLAB on that cluster, it got stuck in 'Starting Parallel Pool' Phase. We are attaching some screenshots for your reference.

Without your whole code (apart1.m), it would be difficult to investigate why the error occurs, but as far as I guess, it might be missing to set mapreducer to use parallel.cluster.Hadoop.

As this document explains, at least the three lines are needed to run MapReduce on Hadoop.

% Specify HADOOP_HOME in MATLAB
setenv('HADOOP_HOME', '/path/to/hadoop/install') 

% This will run mapreduce on Hadoop
cluster = parallel.cluster.Hadoop;
% If you want to change properties of parallel.cluster.Hadoop,
% please see https://www.mathworks.com/help/distcomp/parallel.cluster.hadoop_function.html#bujzb46-2
% for example, if the installation path of MATLAB Distributed Computing Server on Hadoop clusters 
% is different from that of MATLAB Desktop on Hadoop node, you need to change ClusterMatlabRoot property.
% cluster.ClusterMatlabRoot = '/path/to/MDCS/install';
mr = mapreducer(cluster); 

After this mapreducer setting, mapreduce will be run on Hadoop.

We want to read the data from HDFS and need to process with MDCS.

It is detecting the workers(3 workers) but giving IRI scheme for path: 'hdfs://master:9000/job0_2' is unsupported.

*****************

Here is our code

mr=mapreducer(gcp);
ds = imageDatastore({'hdfs://master:9000/Corel_1000'});
system('hdfs dfs -rm -r hdfs://master:9000/job0_2'); %<------------- deleting previous output directory
output_folder = 'hdfs://master:9000/job0_2';
ds = mapreduce(ds,@identityMapper1,
@identityReducer1,mr,'OutputFolder',output_folder);

This is the output

Starting parallel pool (parpool) using the 'new_job' profile ...
connected to 3 workers.
