Data Deduplication Technology for Cloud Storage

With the explosive growth of information data, the data storage system has stepped into the cloud storage era. Although the core of the cloud storage system is distributed file system in solving the problem of mass data storage, a large number of duplicate data exist in all storage system. File systems are designed to control how files are stored and retrieved. Fewer studies focus on the cloud file system deduplication technologies at the application level, especially for the Hadoop distributed file system. In this paper, we design a file deduplication framework on Hadoop distributed file system for cloud application developer. Proposed RFD-HDFS and FD-HDFS two data deduplication solutions process data deduplication online, which improves storage space utilisation and reduces the redundancy. In the end of the paper, we test the disk utilisation and the file upload performance on RFD-HDFS and FD-HDFS, and compare HDFS with the disk utilisation of two system frameworks. The results show that the two-system framework not only implements data deduplication function but also effectively reduces the disk utilisation of duplicate files. So, the proposed framework can indeed reduce the storage space by eliminating redundant HDFS file

A Robust Fault-Tolerant and Scalable Cluster-wide Deduplication for Shared-Nothing Storage Systems

Deduplication has been largely employed in distributed storage systems to improve space efficiency. Traditional deduplication research ignores the design specifications of shared-nothing distributed storage systems such as no central metadata bottleneck, scalability, and storage rebalancing. Further, deduplication introduces transactional changes, which are prone to errors in the event of a system failure, resulting in inconsistencies in data and deduplication metadata. In this paper, we propose a robust, fault-tolerant and scalable cluster-wide deduplication that can eliminate duplicate copies across the cluster. We design a distributed deduplication metadata shard which guarantees performance scalability while preserving the design constraints of shared- nothing storage systems. The placement of chunks and deduplication metadata is made cluster-wide based on the content fingerprint of chunks. To ensure transactional consistency and garbage identification, we employ a flag-based asynchronous consistency mechanism. We implement the proposed deduplication on Ceph. The evaluation shows high disk-space savings with minimal performance degradation as well as high robustness in the event of sudden server failure.Comment: 6 Pages including reference

Framework for Map Reducing Technique Using Correlation for Duplicate Image Identi?cation Process

The duplicate image identification is an image deduplication System which avoids duplicate copies of images from storing in the storage server and reduces Storage space. This technique is used to improve storage utilization by avoiding duplicate images to store in storage server and reduce the time complexity by using Map Reduce technique. With explosive growth of digitization bulk of digital data may uploaded on server every day, deduplication schemes are widely used in backup and recovery System to minimize network and storage overhead by detecting and avoiding redundancy among data. Traditional deduplication schemes work if and only if the second image having the same content as first, so this restricts the performance of many applications as exact images need to be there if want to succeed and these all schemes are suffering from huge time complexity problem to deal with huge amount of data. In this paper, we propose the duplicate image identification system using MapReduce technique which improves the scalability and efficiency of system. Our approach reduce the time required to identify the duplicate image in storage server using MapReducing technique that is been powered with correlation technique

PREVENTION OF ARBITRARY DATA TUPLES IN OPEN NETS USING APACHE SPARK

Because the progress of internet application, the regularity of storing the great deal of information is growing day-to-day. Generally, file systems are made to handle file procedures like store, edit, retrieve etc. But, the primary crisis would be to enhance the storage efficiency, not understanding the information and semantics of files you're storing exactly the same file multiples occasions i.e., duplication. To solve such problems, a note digest formula (MD-5) produced hash code can be used to check on if the file already is available or otherwise to lessen storage and improve resource utilization. The goal of the paper would be to generate Hadoop Distributed File System with Deduplication method to maintain bulk of information. For this reason, you are able to increase storage efficiency and improve network bandwidth for cloud atmosphere also

Shredder: GPU-Accelerated Incremental Storage and Computation

Redundancy elimination using data deduplication and incremental data processing has emerged as an important technique to minimize storage and computation requirements in data center computing. In this paper, we present the design, implementation and evaluation of Shredder, a high performance content-based chunking framework for supporting incremental storage and computation systems. Shredder exploits the massively parallel processing power of GPUs to overcome the CPU bottlenecks of content-based chunking in a cost-effective manner. Unlike previous uses of GPUs, which have focused on applications where computation costs are dominant, Shredder is designed to operate in both compute-and dataintensive environments. To allow this, Shredder provides several novel optimizations aimed at reducing the cost of transferring data between host (CPU) and GPU, fully utilizing the multicore architecture at the host, and reducing GPU memory access latencies. With our optimizations, Shredder achieves a speedup of over 5X for chunking bandwidth compared to our optimized parallel implementation without a GPU on the same host system. Furthermore, we present two real world applications of Shredder: an extension to HDFS, which serves as a basis for incremental MapReduce computations, and an incremental cloud backup system. In both contexts, Shredder detects redundancies in the input data across successive runs, leading to significant savings in storage, computation, and end-to-end completion times.

The Family of MapReduce and Large Scale Data Processing Systems

In the last two decades, the continuous increase of computational power has produced an overwhelming flow of data which has called for a paradigm shift in the computing architecture and large scale data processing mechanisms. MapReduce is a simple and powerful programming model that enables easy development of scalable parallel applications to process vast amounts of data on large clusters of commodity machines. It isolates the application from the details of running a distributed program such as issues on data distribution, scheduling and fault tolerance. However, the original implementation of the MapReduce framework had some limitations that have been tackled by many research efforts in several followup works after its introduction. This article provides a comprehensive survey for a family of approaches and mechanisms of large scale data processing mechanisms that have been implemented based on the original idea of the MapReduce framework and are currently gaining a lot of momentum in both research and industrial communities. We also cover a set of introduced systems that have been implemented to provide declarative programming interfaces on top of the MapReduce framework. In addition, we review several large scale data processing systems that resemble some of the ideas of the MapReduce framework for different purposes and application scenarios. Finally, we discuss some of the future research directions for implementing the next generation of MapReduce-like solutions.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1105.4252 by other author

Incremental parallel and distributed systems

Incremental computation strives for efficient successive runs of applications by re-executing only those parts of the computation that are affected by a given input change instead of recomputing everything from scratch. To realize the benefits of incremental computation, researchers and practitioners are developing new systems where the application programmer can provide an efficient update mechanism for changing application data. Unfortunately, most of the existing solutions are limiting because they not only depart from existing programming models, but also require programmers to devise an incremental update mechanism (or a dynamic algorithm) on a per-application basis. In this thesis, we present incremental parallel and distributed systems that enable existing real-world applications to automatically benefit from efficient incremental updates. Our approach neither requires departure from current models of programming, nor the design and implementation of dynamic algorithms. To achieve these goals, we have designed and built the following incremental systems: (i) Incoop — a system for incremental MapReduce computation; (ii) Shredder — a GPU-accelerated system for incremental storage; (iii) Slider — a stream processing platform for incremental sliding window analytics; and (iv) iThreads — a threading library for parallel incremental computation. Our experience with these systems shows that significant performance can be achieved for existing applications without requiring any additional effort from programmers.Inkrementelle Berechnungen ermöglichen die effizientere Ausführung aufeinanderfolgender Anwendungsaufrufe, indem nur die Teilbereiche der Anwendung erneut ausgefürt werden, die von den Änderungen der Eingabedaten betroffen sind. Dieses Berechnungsverfahren steht dem konventionellen und vollständig neu berechnenden Verfahren gegenüber. Um den Vorteil inkrementeller Berechnungen auszunutzen, entwickeln sowohl Wissenschaft als auch Industrie neue Systeme, bei denen der Anwendungsprogrammierer den effizienten Aktualisierungsmechanismus für die Änderung der Anwendungsdaten bereitstellt. Bedauerlicherweise lassen sich existierende Lösungen meist nur eingeschränkt anwenden, da sie das konventionelle Programmierungsmodel beibehalten und dadurch die erneute Entwicklung vom Programmierer des inkrementellen Aktualisierungsmechanismus (oder einen dynamischen Algorithmus) für jede Anwendung verlangen. Diese Doktorarbeit stellt inkrementelle Parallele- und Verteiltesysteme vor, die es existierenden Real-World-Anwendungen ermöglichen vom Vorteil der inkre- mentellen Berechnung automatisch zu profitieren. Unser Ansatz erfordert weder eine Abkehr von gegenwärtigen Programmiermodellen, noch Design und Implementierung von anwendungsspezifischen dynamischen Algorithmen. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, haben wir die folgenden Systeme zur inkrementellen parallelen und verteilten Berechnung entworfen und implementiert: (i) Incoop — ein System für inkrementelle Map-Reduce-Programme; (ii) Shredder — ein GPU- beschleunigtes System zur inkrementellen Speicherung; (iii) Slider — eine Plat- tform zur Batch-basierten Streamverarbeitung via inkrementeller Sliding-Window- Berechnung; und (iv) iThreads — eine Threading-Bibliothek zur parallelen inkre- mentellen Berechnung. Unsere Erfahrungen mit diesen Systemen zeigen, dass unsere Methoden sehr gute Performanz liefern können, und dies ohne weiteren Aufwand des Programmierers

Distributed storage optimization using multi-agent systems in Hadoop

Understanding data and extracting information from it are the main objectives of data science, especially when it comes to big data. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to collect and process massive data sets, arriving at the system in different formats at great velocity. The Big Data era has brought us new challenges in data storage and management, and existing state-ofthe-art data storage and processing tools are poised to meet the challenges while posing challenges to the next generation of data. Big Data storage optimization is essential for improving the overall efficiency of Big Data systems by maximizing the use of storage resources. It also reduces the energy consumption of Big Data systems, resulting in financial savings, environmental protection, and improved system performance. Hadoop provides a solution for storing and analysing large quantities of data. However, Hadoop can encounter storage management problems due to its distributed nature and the management of large volumes of data. In order to meet future challenges, the system needs to intelligently manage its storage system. The use of a multi-agent system presents a promising approach for efficiently managing hot and cold data in HDFS. These systems offer a flexible, distributed solution for solving complex problems. This work proposes an approach based on a multi-agent system capable of gathering information on data access activity in the HDFS cluster. Using this information, it classifies data according to its temperature (hot or cold) and makes decisions about data replication based on its classification. In addition, it compresses unused data to manage resources efficiently and reduce storage space usage
