i2MapReduce: Incremental MapReduce for Mining Evolving Big Data
As new data and updates are constantly arriving, the results of data mining
applications become stale and obsolete over time. Incremental processing is a
promising approach to refreshing mining results. It utilizes previously saved
states to avoid the expense of re-computation from scratch.
In this paper, we propose i2MapReduce, a novel incremental processing
extension to MapReduce, the most widely used framework for mining big data.
Compared with the state-of-the-art work on Incoop, i2MapReduce (i) performs
key-value pair level incremental processing rather than task level
re-computation, (ii) supports not only one-step computation but also more
sophisticated iterative computation, which is widely used in data mining
applications, and (iii) incorporates a set of novel techniques to reduce I/O
overhead for accessing preserved fine-grain computation states. We evaluate
i2MapReduce using a one-step algorithm and three iterative algorithms with
diverse computation characteristics. Experimental results on Amazon EC2 show
significant performance improvements of i2MapReduce compared to both plain and
iterative MapReduce performing re-computation
Shared Arrangements: practical inter-query sharing for streaming dataflows
Current systems for data-parallel, incremental processing and view
maintenance over high-rate streams isolate the execution of independent
queries. This creates unwanted redundancy and overhead in the presence of
concurrent incrementally maintained queries: each query must independently
maintain the same indexed state over the same input streams, and new queries
must build this state from scratch before they can begin to emit their first
results. This paper introduces shared arrangements: indexed views of maintained
state that allow concurrent queries to reuse the same in-memory state without
compromising data-parallel performance and scaling. We implement shared
arrangements in a modern stream processor and show order-of-magnitude
improvements in query response time and resource consumption for interactive
queries against high-throughput streams, while also significantly improving
performance in other domains including business analytics, graph processing,
and program analysis
