Exploring Shared State in Key-Value Store for Window-Based Multi-pattern Streaming Analytics

Abstract

We are now witnessing an unprecedented growth of data that needs to be processed at always increasing rates in order to extract valuable insights. Big Data streaming analytics tools have been developed to cope with the online dimension of data processing: they enable real-time handling of live data sources by means of stateful aggregations (operators). Current state-of-art frameworks (e.g. Apache Flink [1]) enable each operator to work in isolation by creating data copies, at the expense of increased memory utilization. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of deduplication techniques to address the challenge of reducing memory footprint for window-based stream processing without significant impact on performance. We design a deduplication method specifically for windowbased operators that rely on key-value stores to hold a shared state. We experiment with a synthetically generated workload while considering several deduplication scenarios and based on the results, we identify several potential areas of improvement. Our key finding is that more fine-grained interactions between streaming engines and (key-value) stores need to be designed in order to better respond to scenarios that have to overcome memory scarcity.

“…Moreover, real-time analyses have been performed by using key value analysis [22], streaming analysis using Apache Spark, and network analysis using the Open Network Operating System controller in real time [23,24]. YARN, which is used in batch processing, is a resource management platform of Hadoop that influences the energy efficiency of a cluster and utility of the application [25,26].…”
