MapReduce can be used to perform matrix multiplication by breaking down the problem into smaller subproblems. This is often used when working with large datasets that cannot fit into memory, or when a distributed system like Hadoop is available.
In matrix multiplication, the element at position (i, j)
in the product matrix is calculated as the dot product of the i
th row of the first matrix and the j
th column of the second matrix. Here's how you can apply the MapReduce framework to perform matrix multiplication in Java:
Steps for Matrix Multiplication using MapReduce
-
Mapper Phase:
-
Emit key-value pairs for each matrix element.
-
For matrix
A
, the key will be the row indexi
, and for matrixB
, the key will be the column indexj
. -
Each mapper will emit
(i, (A[i][k], k))
for matrixA
and(k, (B[k][j], j))
for matrixB
.
-
-
Reducer Phase:
-
The reducer will aggregate the partial products for each
(i, j)
position in the result matrix by computing the sum of the dot products of corresponding row and column elements.
-
Example Code:
Mapper Class
Reducer Class
Driver Class
Input Data Format
The input data format should consist of rows and columns of matrices A and B. For example:
Where:
-
1,0,1,3
represents matrix A with row 1, column 0, and value 3. -
1,1,2,6
represents matrix B with row 1, column 1, and value 6.
Output Data Format
The output will be a set of key-value pairs representing the matrix multiplication results:
Running the Job
-
First, compile the code and package it into a
.jar
file. -
Run the job on Hadoop using the following command:
This will read the input, perform matrix multiplication using the MapReduce paradigm, and store the output in the specified output directory.
