Suraj Menon updated HAMA-639:
-----------------------------
Assignee: (was: Suraj Menon)
> Superstep Chaining API
> ----------------------
>
> Key: HAMA-639
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-639
> Project: Hama
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: bsp core
> Reporter: Suraj Menon
> Labels: gsoc2014, java, scala
> Attachments: HAMA-639.patch-v1
>
>
> API Requirements:
> * From HAMA framework
> ** A provision to iterate over supersteps
> ** Provide condition state for continuing execution of supersteps
> ** For fault tolerance
> *** The BSP Peer should be able to save complete state of the computation.
> The state saved is enough to recover to start its execution from that point
> in superstep execution. The state to be saved is as followed:
> **** The next superstep instance to be executed.
> **** In case of loops the condition state of the execution should be provided
> to indicate the peer whether it should run the next superstep
> ** Ability to start from the beginning of the superstep
> *** This would be a good point of notifying the peer if it should instantiate
> the required message queue implementation used for that superstep.
> *** This could also be a good point to indicate the synchronization barrier
> that the superstep chain would be participating in.
> * For BSP Job programmers. - (This is a tricky situation where the
> programmers are not as restricted as in Map-Reduce model to express their
> jobs. However with this freedom comes the responsibility to maintain the
> state of your program. )
> ** API should help programmers to express their jobs as a series of Supersteps
> ** API should let them chain their superstep implementation allowing them to
> share references to data-structures among the supersteps.
> ** API should let programmer to define the message queue type for the
> superstep
> ** API should let programmer decide the synchronization barrier that the
> current superstep is going to be part of.
> ** API should let programmer save the state of the superstep chain to
> persistent storage and retrieve the same such that the program could execute
> from the beginning of any superstep execution in the chain for fault
> tolerance.
