Abstract

In the data era, big data systems have emerged as pivotal tools, underscoring the importance of performance prediction in enhancing the efficiency of big data clusters. Numerous performance models have been proposed, often grounded in artificial intelligence or simulation methodologies. While the buck of research focuses on refining prediction precision and minimizing overhead, limited attention has been given to the consignation and standardization of these models. To bridge this gap between model developers and end-users, this paper introduces AMORA—a novel versatile framework tailored for predicting the performance of big data systems. Leveraging the identified Behavior Descriptions-Computation Submodels (BD-CS) pattern that is prevalent among various big data job performance models, AMORA allows access to different plugins accommodating different performance models’ implementations. This framework also integrates a novel mutable computation graph technique to facilitate backtracking computation. Furthermore, AMORA’s functionality extends to comprehensive end-to-end usability by enabling the acceptance of origin configuration files from diverse big data systems and presenting easily interpretable prediction reports. This work demonstrates AMORA’s efficacy in producing an accurate trace of Hadoop job through the selection of appropriate performance model plugins and parameter adjustments and showcasing the application of the proposed mutable computation graph technique in calculating the starting moment of an early-start reducer. Additionally, two validation experiments are conducted, involving the implementation of various Hadoop and Spark performance models, respectively, to exhibit AMORA’s role as a benchmark platform for implementing various types of big data job performance models catered to diverse big data systems.
