Parallel join based on distributed system OceanBase XU Shi-lei, WANG Lei, HU Hui-qi, QIAN Wei-ning, ZHOU Ao-ying 2017, 2017 (5):  1-10.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2017.05.001 Abstract ( 636 )   HTML ( 18 )   PDF (771KB) ( 999 )   Save With the rapid growth of application data and the continued development of distributed database systems, data storage in physical independent nodes has become a trend. In this trend, when the application needs to perform complex join queries, it inevitably generates a lot of network traffic. Therefore, improving the efficiency of join query in distributed system is a hot topic. Based on the analysis of the nested loop join, Hash join, semi-join in the OceanBase, this paper puts forward the optimization idea of using hardware resources reasonably and using multithread to execute join operations in parallel. We implement experiment on OceanBase with nested loop join algorithm, Hash join algorithm, semi-join algorithm respectively. The experimental results confirm that the efficiency of join algorithm is positively related to parallelism in a certain number of threads. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Distributed stream processing system for join operations CHEN Ming-zhu, WANG Xiao-tong, FANG Jun-hua, ZHANG Rong 2017, 2017 (5):  11-19.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2017.05.002 Abstract ( 432 )   HTML ( 90 )   PDF (641KB) ( 625 )   Save Real-time stream processing system plays an increasingly important role in practical applications. Stream Join constitutes one of the most important and expensive operation in big data analysis. However, skewed data distribution in real-world applications and inherent features of streaming data, such as infinity and unpredictability, put great pressure on the join processing in distributed stream systems. Mainstream industrial stream systems have low versatility on join processing, providing no programming interface; though several academic stream prototype systems solve such a problem to a certain extent, they support equi-join processing only, or results in high resource utilization and severe load imbalance. In this paper, after analyzing three typical distributed stream systems, we integrate the techniques based on Join-Matrix into Storm, design and implement a general stream processing system which supports arbitrary theta joins. Experiments demonstrate that the system proposed in this paper outperforms the static-of-the-art strategies. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Storage and load balancing for large-scale comment data on heterogeneous Redis cluster ZHANG Jing-wei, DING Zhi-jun, YANG Qing, ZHANG Hui-bing, ZHANG Hai-tao, ZHOU Ya 2017, 2017 (5):  20-29.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2017.05.003 Abstract ( 702 )   HTML ( 19 )   PDF (643KB) ( 820 )   Save The storage and query performance for large-scale comment data have a great influence on those applications built on the above data. In a heterogeneous computing environment, each node has different performance on storage and computation, it presents a key challenge for optimizing the storage and query performance for large-scale comment data by taking full advantage of the performance of each node. Based on the ability of Redis cluster, we design a storage model for large-scale comment data in a homogeneous Redis cluster, which provides the storage balancing in Redis slots. And then, we discuss the relationship between the number of Redis slots and query efficiency to design a method for allocating storage on the real load of each computing node for heterogeneous Redis clusters, which can make full use of the performance of each node and can guide to allocate slots to nodes by balancing the query performance and storage loading. Our experimental results show that the proposed model has a good effect on storage loading and improve the query efficiency of the heterogeneous Redis cluster.

Design and implementation of Smart materialization for column-store in CLAIMS ZHANG Han, ZHOU Min-qi 2017, 2017 (5):  30-39.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2017.05.004 Abstract ( 415 )   HTML ( 17 )   PDF (621KB) ( 547 )   Save Materialization is a necessary operation in the process of query execution. Materialization strategy and materialization technology play an important role in the process of query execution. Therefore, it is necessary to design a materialization strategy for column-store database. According to the shortcomings of early materialization and later materialization, we provide a strategy named Smart materialization that are different from the two strategies mentioned above. Here we need to define a concept in the logical query plan-projection, the structure is used to select the desired attributes, the physical table is cut by column, to ensure that the structure at the beginning of the query can reduce the direct load to memory of the amount of data, to avoid additional overhead. In the logical query plan, the projection is divided by columns, and the next required columns are predicted according to the relevance of the query in a set of queries, and the required columns are stabilized in one of the most appropriate projection. We use the data set of TPC-H to verify its validity worked on the disturbed in-memory database-CLAIMS. References | Related Articles | Metrics

An outer join algorithm based on Cuckoo filter YU Yang, ZHOU Min-qi, FANG Zhu-he 2017, 2017 (5):  40-51.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2017.05.005 Abstract ( 544 )   HTML ( 23 )   PDF (750KB) ( 637 )   Save In recent years, due to the development of the Internet, data size has been increased rapidly. At the era of big data, the analysis efficiency of distributed database system needs to be optimized urgently. Nevertheless, the join operation is the main performance bottleneck of a distributed database system. Join operations are mainly divided into inner join and outer join, and outer join is widely used in the business situations. Distributed join algorithm involves a large amount of network transmission, which affects the performance of the system severely. Although there are some studies in the literature of inner join optimized, these optimization methods cannot be directly applied to outer join. This paper proposes a distributed outer join algorithm based on Cuckoo filter. By building a Cuckoo filter with replication subdivision technology for data filtering and allocation, it reduces the amount of data transmission and improves the degree of parallelism accordingly. Finally, it improves the query performance. We implement this algorithm in Ginkgo. Based on the given extensive experimental verification, the algorithm largely improves the efficiency of the outer join. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Personalized recommendation system is a popular technology to deal with the information overload and recommendation algorithms are the core of it. In the past decades, collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on single domain has been widely used in many applications. However, the problems of cold start and data sparsity usually result in overfitting and fail to give desirable performance. The cross-domain recommendation techniques have been a hot topic in the field of recommender systems, which aim to utilize knowledge from related domains to perform or improve recommendation in the target domain. This paper carries out a systematic study and analysis of cross-domain recommendation techniques. First, we summarize the related concepts and the technical difficulties of cross-domain recommendation algorithms. Second, we present a general categorization of cross-domain recommendation techniques and sum up their respective advantages and disadvantages. Finally we introduce the method of performance analysis of cross-domain recommendation algorithm in detail. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Constraint conditions are given according to the inherence of user preference and latent variables, upon which we propose a method for modeling user preference. Parameters are computed by EM algorithm and structure is established by SEM algorithm with respect to the given constraints. In the case of multiple latent variables, a large amount of intermediate data is generated in modeling, which causes the increasing computational complexity. Therefore, we implement the modeling method with Spark computing framework. Experiments results on the Movielens dataset verify that the method proposed in this paper is effective.

Constrained route planning based on the regular expression WANG Jing, LIU Hui-ping, JIN Che-qing 2017, 2017 (5):  162-173,235.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2017.05.015 Abstract ( 414 )   HTML ( 16 )   PDF (651KB) ( 793 )   Save Traditional route planning algorithms, which mainly focus on metrics such as the distance, time, cost, etc. to find the optimal route from source to destination, are not suitable for solving route planning requirements with location constraints. For example, finding the shortest path passing the whole or a part of user-defined location categories in order or disorder. Mainly focusing on these scenarios, this paper formalizes the constrained route planning problem on the basis of the regular expression generated by user requirements and gives a general framework to solve this problem. Based on this, a basic constrained route planning algorithm (BCRP) and an improved constrained route planning algorithm (ICRP) are proposed while ICRP reduces the search space using pruning rules. Finally, extensive experiments on real road network datasets demonstrate the efficiency of our proposal. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Aiming at the problem of lower recommendation precision of traditional recommendation technique due to ignoring the actual road situation, we propose a two-phase real-time hotspot recommendation approach for picking up passenger. In the phase of offline mining, timebased hotspots are extracted by mining the history taxi trajectory dataset. In the phase of online recommendation, according to the position and time of taxi requests, a potential no-passenger time cost evaluation function that based on real-time road situation is presented to evaluate and rank hotspots, and obtain top-k hotspots of picking up passenger.Experimental results on taxi trajectory data show that, our proposal ensure smaller potential no-load time overhead due to considering real-time traffic conditions, and hence has good effectiveness and robustness as compared to the traditional recommendation approached.

Individual station estimation from smart card transactions WANG Yi-lin, ZHANG Zhi-gang, JIN Che-qing 2017, 2017 (5):  201-212.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2017.05.018 Abstract ( 523 )   HTML ( 12 )   PDF (579KB) ( 489 )   Save With the fast development of public transportation network and widespread use of smart card, more and more rich semantic information about human mobility behaviors are hidden in smart card transaction data. However, a great number of current smart cards are initially designed for charging and do not record any detailed information about where and when a passenger gets on or gets off a bus, which brings out great difficulties for analyzing, mining transaction data and providing more precise location-based services. This paper presents Space-Time Adjacency algorithm (STA) and Historical Trip Based algorithm (HTB) to estimate the bus station of each card's transaction records with the aid of integral historical data including complete subway transaction data. Specifically, STA does the initial reconstruction work according to the space-time proximity of adjacent transaction records. Then HTB first cuts the collection of records to form trips that contain explicit trip purposes, then extracts taken lines and transfer lines using historical data, next generates candidate stations for each taken line, and finally uses them to recover the transaction records again. Experiments show that the proposed algorithms work well and narrow the range of candidate stations for bus lines, and have good time efficiency. References | Related Articles | Metrics
