Abstract
En 中文
As the attention given to big data grows, cluster computing systems for distributed processing of large data sets become the mainstream and critical requirement in high performance distributed system research. One of the most successful systems is Hadoop, which uses MapReduce as a programming/execution model and takes disks as intermedia to process huge volumes of data. Spark, as an in-memory computing engine, can solve the iterative and interactive problems more efficiently. However, currently it is a consensus that they are not the final solutions to big data due to a MapReduce-like programming model, synchronous execution model and the constraint that only supports batch processing, and so on. A new solution, especially, a fundamental evolution is needed to bring big data solutions into a new era. In this paper, we introduce a new cluster computing system called HAMR which supports both batch and streaming processing. To achieve better performance, HAMR integrates high performance computing approaches, i.e. dataflow fundamental into a big data solution. With more specifications, HAMR is fully designed based on in-memory computing to reduce the unnecessary disk access overhead; task scheduling and memory management are in fine-grain manner to explore more parallelism; asynchronous execution improves efficiency of computation resource usage, and also makes workload balance across the whole cluster better. The experimental results show that HAMR can outperform Hadoop MapReduce and Spark by up to 19x and 7x respectively, in the same cluster environment. Furthermore, HAMR can handle scaling data size well beyond the capabilities of Spark.
