An Energy-Aware Adaptation Model for Big Data Platforms

Platforms for big data includes mechanisms and tools to model, organize, store and access big data (e.g. Apache Cassandra, Hbase, Amazon SimpleDB, Dynamo, Google BigTable). The resource management for those platforms is a complex task and must account also for multi-tenancy and infrastructure scalability. Human assisted control of Big data platform is unrealistic and there is a growing demand for autonomic solutions. In this paper we propose a QoS and energy-aware adaptation model designed to cope with the real case of a Cassandra-as-a-Service provider.
