Abstract
Since there has been significant amount of XML documents generated in various application domains, efficient XML management has become an important problem. Distributed XML storage and parallel query based on Map Reduce can be an effective solution to this problem. As XML data placement strategy is a key factor of parallel system performance, in this paper we present an XML placement strategy, which is Query Workload Estimation based XML Placement strategy (QWEXP) for efficient distributed XML storage and parallel query. To achieve query workload balance, it partitions XML based on query workload estimation which is calculated by XML structure without knowing of user queries, considering that in common application scenarios user queries are unknown in advance. The partitioned XML segments are around an XML storage unit W0, to support scalability of parallel XML database. Finally segments are distributed to each processing node evenly to ensure workload balance on parallel query execution. Experimental results have shown that QWEXP promotes the speedup and scale up properties of parallel XML system greatly.
