Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of a state tracking technique may enable real-time tracking of jobs in a computer cluster. A state object is provided that allows a job to be implemented as a distributable database. The job may be tracked while the job is processing via the state tracking technique. Using the state tracking technique, the cluster may track the location of the state objects for jobs in a database. However, only location information for the state object, and not the job metadata itself, is stored in the central database. This reduces the amount of data stored in the central database, distributing the metadata across the cluster, thus improving database performance and reducing bandwidth requirements on the network. Information about a job may be acquired via a query to the central database to find the location of the respective state object, and then a query to the state object (or to a proxy).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a first compute node of a plurality of compute nodes on a cluster computing system, a state object for a respective job to be executed by a distributed application on the cluster computing system, wherein the state object is a relational database file that includes a job metadata database that stores status and history information for the respective job as executed by the distributed application on the plurality of compute…
