| Abstract | Providing fault-tolerance is of major importance for data analytics frameworks such as Hadoop and Spark, which are typically deployed in large clusters that are known to experience high failures rates. Unexpected events such as compute node failures are in particular an important challenge for in-memory data analytics frameworks, as the widely adopted approach to deal with them is to recompute work already done. Recomputing lost work, however, requires allocation of extra resource to re-execute tasks, thus increasing the job runtimes. To address this problem, we design a checkpointing system called Panda that is tailored to the intrinsic characteristics of data analytics frameworks. In particular, Panda employs fine-grained checkpointing at the level of task outputs and dynamically identifies tasks that are worthwhile to be checkpointed rather than be recomputed. As has been abundantly shown, tasks of data analytics jobs may have very variable runtimes and output sizes. These properties form the basis of three checkpointing policies which we incorporate into Panda. We first empirically evaluate Panda on a multicluster system with single data analytics applications under space-correlated failures, and find that Panda is close to the performance of a fail-free execution in unmodified Spark for a large range of concurrent failures. Then we perform simulations of complete workloads, mimicking the size and operation of a Google cluster, and show that Panda provides significant improvements in the average job runtime for wide ranges of the failure rate and system load. |

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.
