Abstract

Existing big-data systems (e.g., Hadoop/MapReduce) do not expose management of shared storage I/O resources. As such, application's performance may degrade in unpredictable ways under I/O contention, even with fair sharing of computing resources. This paper proposes IBIS, a new Interposed Big-data I/O Scheduler, to provide performance differentiation for competing applications' I/Os in a shared MapReduce-type big-data system. IBIS is implemented in Hadoop by interposing HDFS I/Os and use an SFQ-based proportional-sharing algorithm. Experiments show that the IBIS provides strong performance isolation for one application against another highly I/O-intensive application. IBIS also enforces good proportional sharing of the global bandwidth among competing parallel applications, by coordinating distributed IBIS schedulers to deal with the uneven distribution of local services in big-data systems.
