MALAGA - MultidimensionAL Big DAta Analytics over Massive Graph DAta

Focusing on the main research context represented by the issue of supporting big data analytics over big graph data, this paper introduces and experimentally assesses the framework MALAGA (MultidimensionAL Big DAta Analytics over Massive Graph DAta). MALAGA incorporates several innovations, including OLAP analysis of big graph data, columnar-OLAP methodologies, and Apache Hive extensions. A comprehensive experimental assessment and analysis of the framework’s performance is finally presented and discussed, by significantly integrating the conceptual contributions of our research.
