Load Balancing for Hypertable
Rios, Gordon (University College Cork) | Judd, Doug (Hypertable, Inc.)
In Hypertable ranges of table data are stored and accessed on different nodes and allows for flexible management of the underlying hardware. Overall performance is sensitive to the balance of range load across the cluster. The project developers aim to create a simple interface to allow researchers to design experimental load balancing strategies that incorporate machine learning and optimization. This paper specifies the load balancing problem and introduces it as a challenge problem for AI and machine learning.
