摘要: Declustering problems are well-known in the databases for parallel computing environments. In this paper, we propose a new similarity-based technique for declustering data. The proposed method can adapt to the available information about query distribution (e.g. size,shape and frequency) and can work with alternative atomic data-types. Furthermore, the proposed method is flexible and can work with alternative data distributions, data sizes and partition-size constraints. The method is based on max-cut partitioning of a similarity graph defined over the given set of data, under constraints on the partition sizes. It maximizes the chances that a pair of atomic data-items that are frequently accessed together by queries are allocated to distinct disks. We describe the application of the proposed method to parallelizing Grid Files at the data page level. Detailed experiments in this context show that the proposed method adapts to query distribution and data distribution, and that it outperforms traditional mapping-function-based methods for many interesting query distributions as well for several non-uniform data distributions.
