Abstract:
A method for data provisioning a serverless computing cluster. A plurality of user defined functions (UDFs) are received for execution on worker nodes of the serverless computing cluster. For a first UDF, one or more data locations of UDF data needed to execute the first UDF are determined. At a master node of the serverless computing cluster, a plurality of worker node tickets are received, each ticket indicating a resource availability of a corresponding worker node. The one or more data locations and the plurality of worker node tickets are analyzed to determine eligible worker nodes capable of executing the first UDF. The master node transmits a pre-fetch command to one or more of the eligible worker nodes, causing the eligible worker nodes to become a provisioned worker node for the first UDF by storing a pre-fetched first UDF data before the first UDF is assigned for execution.
