Abstract:
Data and computation may be unified (i.e., integrated) in a data center using a single query interface. Users may interact with the data center via a query interface to provide a query (i.e., a computation) to the data center. The results of the query may be referred to as derived datasets and may be managed by a cache server. In an implementation, a derived dataset is uniquely referenced by the query that computes it. Shared common computations are computed only once and may be reused by other computations. The result of a query may be computed (if not previously cached) and returned to the user. Infrequently used derived datasets may be garbage collected (e.g., deleted or otherwise removed from storage) by a garbage collector. This integration of data and computation provides efficient resource management for data center.
