Query Processing and Index Structure on Cloud Peer-to-Peer OLAP
Nam Hun Park, Kil Hong Joo · Advanced Science and Technology Letters · 2013
The conventional researches on a distributed On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) system have been in hardship to be adapted to real business environment. In this paper, to provide not only flexibility and expandability of ROLAP but also the speediness of MOLAP, the cloud server architecture is proposed which shares clients’ cube cache by P2P and manages central index on cube data on P2P nodes. The requests on server are confined to nonaggregated areas and multiple client nodes exchange data simultaneously and asynchronously in the proposed Cloud P2P OLAP. With time series properties, the volume of requested data is minimized and the reuse of past cache data is focused. While Grid OLAP should keep self-distributed system, Cloud use services as much as used by public services. Therefore, Cloud P2P OLAP solves a lot of theoretical limits of conventional distributed OLAP.
