A Key-Based Database Sharding Implementation for Big Data Analytics
Sikha S. Bagui, Loi Nguyen · Advances in systems analysis, software engineering, and high performance computing book series · 2015
In this chapter, we use MySQL Database Cluster to demonstrate and discover the capabilities of key based database sharding and provide the implementation details to build a key based sharded database system. After the implementation section, we present some examples of datasets that were sharded using our implementation. The sharded data is then used for data mining, specifically association rule mining. We present the results (association rules) for the sharded data as well as the non-sharded data.
