Holistic Load-Balancing in a Distributed Spatial Cache

A steadily growing number of people using location based services (LBS) inflict massive query loads on the data tier of an LBS. As such queries usually possess considerable overlap, multiple cache nodes collaborating in a distributed spatial cache can provide scalable access to frequently used data. To preserve high throughput throughout the complete execution process, it is necessary to balance the accumulating load among the participating cache nodes. In this work, we identify three key-indicators to improve resource utilization during the load-balancing process: data skew, anticipated data access patterns and dynamic load peaks. For this reason, we introduce a comprehensive mathematical model to express the key-indicators as probability distribution functions. We fuse the different key-indicators into a single holistic distribution model. In the course of this, we devise a methodology from our holistic distribution model towards a distributed spatial cache offering improved load-balancing facilities.
