The distributed computations are widely used in the modern world for processing large scale jobs. Hadoop framework which is based on Google MapReduce model becomes popular due to its great processing power and ease to use. However, due to lack of load management, especially in a heterogeneous computing environment, the performance of Hadoop framework may be deteriorated. Therefore this paper presents a load balancing algorithm which aims to balance the load among heterogeneous nodes. And also, the Hadoop simulator HSim is involved to evaluate the performance of the load balancing algorithm. The results indicate that the performance of the cluster has been significantly enhanced.
