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
Enabling autoscaling for in-memory storage in cluster computing framework
2019 Spring.Includes bibliographical references.IoT enabled devices and observational instruments continuously generate voluminous data. A large portion of these datasets are delivered with the associated geospatial locations. The increased volumes of geospatial data, alongside the emerging geospatial services, pose computational challenges for large-scale geospatial analytics. We have designed and implemented STRETCH , an in-memory distributed geospatial storage that preserves spatial proximity and enables proactive autoscaling for frequently accessed data. STRETCH stores data with a delayed data dispersion scheme that incrementally adds data nodes to the storage system. We have devised an autoscaling feature that proactively repartitions data to alleviate computational hotspots before they occur. We compared the performance of S TRETCH with Apache Ignite and the results show that STRETCH provides up to 3 times the throughput when the system encounters hotspots. STRETCH is built on Apache Spark and Ignite and interacts with them at runtime
When Things Matter: A Data-Centric View of the Internet of Things
With the recent advances in radio-frequency identification (RFID), low-cost
wireless sensor devices, and Web technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT)
approach has gained momentum in connecting everyday objects to the Internet and
facilitating machine-to-human and machine-to-machine communication with the
physical world. While IoT offers the capability to connect and integrate both
digital and physical entities, enabling a whole new class of applications and
services, several significant challenges need to be addressed before these
applications and services can be fully realized. A fundamental challenge
centers around managing IoT data, typically produced in dynamic and volatile
environments, which is not only extremely large in scale and volume, but also
noisy, and continuous. This article surveys the main techniques and
state-of-the-art research efforts in IoT from data-centric perspectives,
including data stream processing, data storage models, complex event
processing, and searching in IoT. Open research issues for IoT data management
are also discussed
View Selection in Semantic Web Databases
We consider the setting of a Semantic Web database, containing both explicit
data encoded in RDF triples, and implicit data, implied by the RDF semantics.
Based on a query workload, we address the problem of selecting a set of views
to be materialized in the database, minimizing a combination of query
processing, view storage, and view maintenance costs. Starting from an existing
relational view selection method, we devise new algorithms for recommending
view sets, and show that they scale significantly beyond the existing
relational ones when adapted to the RDF context. To account for implicit
triples in query answers, we propose a novel RDF query reformulation algorithm
and an innovative way of incorporating it into view selection in order to avoid
a combinatorial explosion in the complexity of the selection process. The
interest of our techniques is demonstrated through a set of experiments.Comment: VLDB201
