Data interface all-in-a-place (DIANA) for big data

Abstract

Variety in Big Data means we have a wide range of data types and sources: e.g. File systems and database systems co-exist for decades as two popular data-accessing interfaces. This work is to unify these two interfaces by presenting a Data Interface All-iN-A-place (DIANA). The first challenge lies in distinguishing structured and un-structured data and diverting them to different underlying platforms. It is demonstrated that a speedup of 5000 in indexing has been achieved at the expense of a slowdown of 100 in extracting attributes. A DIANA-based cloud storage system is constructed for versatile, long distance and large volume big data accessing operations to address "Volume" and "Velocity" in Big Data. It encapsulates a dynamic multi-stream/multi-path engine at the socket level, which conforms to Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX).
