DDSL: Efficient Subgraph Listing on Distributed and Dynamic Graphs
Subgraph listing is a fundamental problem in graph theory and has wide
applications in areas like sociology, chemistry, and social networks. Modern
graphs can usually be large-scale as well as highly dynamic, which challenges
the efficiency of existing subgraph listing algorithms. Recent works have shown
the benefits of partitioning and processing big graphs in a distributed system,
however, there is only few work targets subgraph listing on dynamic graphs in a
distributed environment. In this paper, we propose an efficient approach,
called Distributed and Dynamic Subgraph Listing (DDSL), which can incrementally
update the results instead of running from scratch. DDSL follows a general
distributed join framework. In this framework, we use a Neighbor-Preserved
storage for data graphs, which takes bounded extra space and supports dynamic
updating. After that, we propose a comprehensive cost model to estimate the I/O
cost of listing subgraphs. Then based on this cost model, we develop an
algorithm to find the optimal join tree for a given pattern. To handle dynamic
graphs, we propose an efficient left-deep join algorithm to incrementally
update the join results. Extensive experiments are conducted on real-world
datasets. The results show that DDSL outperforms existing methods in dealing
with both static dynamic graphs in terms of the responding time
