Availability and network-aware mapreduce task scheduling over the internet

Abstract

MapReduce offers an ease-of-use programming paradigm for processing large datasets. In our previous work, we have designed a MapReduce framework called BitDew-MapReduce for desktop grid and volunteer computing environment, that allows nonexpert users to run data-intensive MapReduce jobs on top of volunteer resources over the Internet. However, network distance and resource availability have great impact on MapReduce applications running over the Internet. To address this, an availability and network-aware MapReduce framework over the Internet is proposed. Simulation results show that the MapReduce job response time could be decreased by 27. 15%, thanks to Naive Bayes Classifier-based availability prediction and landmark-based network estimation.
