Techniques for Handling Error in User-Estimated Execution Times During Resource Management on Systems Processing MapReduce Jobs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In our previous work, we described a resource allocation and scheduling technique for processing an open stream of MapReduce jobs with SLAs (characterized by an earliest start time, an execution time, and a deadline) called the Hadoop Constraint Programming based Resource Management technique (HCP-RM). Since the user-estimated job execution times are used to perform resource allocation and scheduling, error/inaccuracies in the execution times can hinder the ability of HCP-RM from making effective scheduling decisions, leading to a degradation in system performance. This paper focuses on improving the robustness of HCP-RM by introducing a mechanism to handle errors/inaccuracies in user estimates of job execution times that are submitted as part of the job's SLA. A Prescheduling Error Handling technique (PSEH) is devised to adjust the user-estimated execution times of the jobs to make them more accurate before they are used by the resource management algorithm. Results of experiments conducted on a Hadoop cluster deployed on Amazon EC2 demonstrate the effectiveness of the PSEH technique in improving system performance.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
