Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
MapReduce is a popular parallel processing framework for large-scale data analytics. To keep up with the increasing volume of datasets, it requires efficient I/O capability from the underlying computer systems to process and analyze data in two phases (mapping and reducing). Between these phases, MapReduce requires a shuffling phase to globally exchange the intermediate data generated by the mapping phase. We reveal that data shuffling, by physically moving segments of intermediate data across disks, causes significant I/O contention and compounds the I/O problem. In this paper, we propose a novel virtual shuffling strategy to enable efficient data movement and reduce I/O for MapReduce shuffling, thereby reducing power consumption and conserving energy. Virtual shuffling is realized through a combination of three techniques including a three-level segment table, near-demand merging, and dynamic and balanced merging subtrees. Our experimental results show that virtual shuffling significantly speeds up data movement in MapReduce and achieves faster job execution. Particularly, its reduction in disk I/O accesses results in as much as 12% savings in power consumption for MapReduce programs.
