Towards Scalable Data Management for Map-Reduce-based Data-Intensive Applications on Cloud and Hybrid Infrastructures
Abstract
As Map-Reduce emerges as a leading programming paradigm for data-intensive computing, today's frameworks which support it still have substantial shortcomings that limit its potential scalability. In this paper we discuss several directions where there is room for such progress: they concern storage efficiency under massive data access concurrency, scheduling, volatility and fault-tolerance. We place our discussion in the perspective of the current evolution towards an increasing integration of large-scale distributed platforms (clouds, cloud federations, enterprise desktop grids, etc.). We propose an approach which aims to overcome the current limitations of existing Map-Reduce frameworks, in order to achieve scalable, concurrency-optimized, fault-tolerant Map-Reduce data processing on hybrid infrastructures. This approach will be evaluated with real-life bio-informatics applications on existing Nimbus-powered cloud testbeds interconnected with desktop grids.
