| Abstract | With the widespread use of shared-nothing clusters of servers, there has been a proliferation of distributed object stores that offer high availability, reliability and enhanced performance for MapReduce-style workloads. However, data-intensive scientific workflows and join-intensive queries cannot always be evaluated efficiently using MapReduce-style processing without extensive data migrations, which cause network congestion and reduced query throughput. In this paper, we study the problem of computing data placement strategies that minimize the data communication costs incurred by such workloads in a distributed setting. Our main contribution is a reduction of the data placement problem to the well-studied problem of Graph Partitioning, which is NP-Hard but for which efficient approximation algorithms exist. The novelty and significance of this result lie in representing the communication cost exactly and using standard graphs instead of hypergraphs, which were used in prior work on data placement that optimized for different objectives. We study several practical extensions of the problem: with load balancing, with replication, and with complex workflows consisting of multiple steps that may be computed on different servers. We provide integer linear programs (IPs) that may be used with any IP solver to find an optimal data placement. For the no-replication case, we use publicly available graph partitioning libraries (e.g., METIS) to efficiently compute nearly-optimal solutions. For the versions with replication, we introduce two heuristics that utilize the Graph Partitioning solution of the no-replication case. Using a workload based on TPC-DS, it may take an IP solver weeks to compute an optimal data placement, whereas our reduction produces nearly-optimal solutions in seconds. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
