Abstract
This paper proposes a solution to the problem of clustering large amount of web
documents. The Hadoop framework, implementation of MapReduce distributed
programming paradigm, developed by Google, plays a very important role in this field due to its scalability and ease to parallelize software. This is the reason why it is used in this project.
Meanwhile, K-means clustering algorithm is easily adaptable to MapReduce programming model and provides proper results for web documents. The documents will be represented as a frequence vectors of terms and keywords and this is what algorithm needs to work.
The developed software uses Hadoop in order to perform both tasks which make up the overall process: document processing and the clustering. Web documents are in HTML, which is not suitable for K-means. It is necessary preprocess them to extract descriptors and to pass them to the clustering algorithm. This is the first part of the process.
The second part, K-means on Hadoop, goes beyond typical Hadoop execution, using most of the tools which Hadoop provides to make document clusters, from descriptors obtained from first part of the process.
