MapReduce框架下的Skyline计算木

摘要

Skyline computation, due to its wide applications in multi-objective decision making and data visualization,has attracted many research interests in database community recently. Aiming at cloud computing applications, this paper addresses the problem of Skyline computation under the MapReduce framework. As a parallel programming model for data-intensive computing applications, MapReduce runs on a cluster of commercial PCs with the main idea of task decomposition and solution reduction. Based on different data division strategies, this paper proposes three algorithms: MapReduce based block-nested-loops (MR-BNL), MapReduce based sort-filter-skyline (MR-SFS) and MapReduce based bitmap (MR-Bitmap). It conducts extensive experiments to evaluate and compare the three algorithms under different situations of different data distributions, dimensions and buffer sizes.%由于Skyline查询广泛应用于多目标决策、数据可视化等领域,近年来成为数据库领域的一个研究热点.针对云计算环境,在MapReduce框架下设计并实现了Skyline算法.MapReduce是一个运行在大型集群上处理海量数据的并行计算框架,其主要思想是任务的分解与结果的汇总.基于不同的数据划分思想,实施了三种Skyline并行算法,分别是基于MapReduce的块嵌套循环算法(MapReduce based block-nestedloops,MR-BNL)、基于MapReduce的排序过滤算法(MapReduce based sort-filter-skyline,MR-SFS)以及基于MapReduce的位图算法(MapReduce based bitmap,MR-Bitmap),并针对这三种算法进行了系统的实验比较,得出了不同数据分布、维数、缓存等因素对算法性能的影响结果.
