Word of the day: Hadoop Cluster!




Hadoop cluster
 
A Hadoop cluster is a special type of computational cluster designed specifically for storing and analyzing huge amounts of unstructured data in a distributed computing environment.
Such clusters run Hadoop's open source distributed processing software on low-cost commodity computers. Typically one machine in the cluster is designated as the NameNode and another machine the as JobTracker; these are the masters. The rest of the machines in the cluster act as both DataNode and TaskTracker; these are the slaves. Hadoop clusters are often referred to as "shared nothing" systems because the only thing that is shared between nodes is the network that connects them.
Hadoop clusters are known for boosting the speed of data analysis applications. They also are highly scalable: If a cluster's processing power is overwhelmed by growing volumes of data, additional cluster nodes can be added to increase throughput. Hadoop clusters also are highly resistant to failure because each piece of data is copied onto other cluster nodes, which ensures that the data is not lost if one node fails.  WhatIs.com

SAP ABAP: Capturing CHECK BOX event in FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY / Cell Editing

Image
Requirement: Show total number of rows selected as message whenever a user     click on a check box column in REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. To accomplish this, we have to use EVENTS in REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to capture changes made by the user. In data declaration: Data: gt_events  TYPE slis_t_event,         wa_events  TYPE slis_alv_event. */------------------------------------------------------------------------  FORM display_alv_report. */------------------------------------------------------------------------ gd_repid = sy-repid. Refresh: gt_events. wa_events-name = 'CALLER_EXIT'. wa_events-form = 'CALLER_EXIT'. APPEND wa_events TO gt_events. wa_events-name = 'DATA_CHANGED'. wa_events-form = 'DATA_CHANGED'. APPEND wa_events TO gt_events. CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'      EXPORTING           i_callback_program   ...

SAP ABAP: Smartforms/SAPscript formatting

Image
SAP Smartforms/SAPscript Smartforms Formatting Following are the few useful formatting options: Offset: N left-most characters of the symbol value will not be displayed. If symbol has the value 123456789, the following will be displayed: &symbol& -> 123456789 &symbol+3& -> 456789 &symbol+7& -> 89 &symbol+12& -> &symbol+0& -> 123456789   Output Length To define how many character positions should be copied from the value. If symbol has the value 123456789. &symbol(3)& -> 123 &symbol(7)& -> 1234567  The SYST-UNAME field contains the logon name of a user called Einstein. The Dictionary entry for this field contains an output length of 12. &SYST-UNAME&… -> Einstein… &SYST-UNAME(9)&… -> Einstein … &SYST-UNAME(*)&… -> Einstein … Omitting the Leading Sign The S option can be used to ensure that the value is formatted without the sign. The ITCD...

SAP ABAP: Adding leading zero to char or string.

Here are the three ways to add leading zeros to a char or string. 1). Using numeric and character field with the same length. DATA: lv_Belnr(10) TYPE C VALUE '48',             lv_Num(10)   TYPE N. lv_Num =  lv_Belnr. ADD 1 TO  lv_Num. lv_Belnr  = lv_Num . WRITE  lv_Belnr. 2). Using FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT. DATA: lv_Belnr(10) TYPE C VALUE '48'.   ADD 1 TO lv_Belnr.   CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'            EXPORTING                    INPUT  = lv_Belnr                      IMPORTING                    OUTPUT = lv_Belnr.  3). Using UNPACK.  DATA: lv_Belnr(10) TYPE C VALUE '48'. ADD 1 TO lv_Belnr. UNPACK lv_Belnr TO lv_Belnr. That's all. Mabuhay!
