MapReduce is an enabling technology in support of Cloud Computing. Hadoop which is a mapReduce implementation has been widely used in developing MapReduce applications. This paper presents Hadoop simulator- HaSim, MapReduce simulator which builds on top of Hadoop. HaSim models large number of parameters that can affect the behaviors of MapReduce nodes, and thus it can be used to tune the performance of a MapReduce cluster. HaSim is validated with both benchmark results and user customized MapReduce applications.
