Abstract

A number of existing and emerging application scenarios generate graph-structured data in a geo-distributed fashion. Although there is a lot of interest in distributed graph processing systems, none of them support geo-distributed graph processing. Geo-distributed analytics, on the other hand, has not focused on iterative workloads such as distributed graph processing. In this paper, we look at the problem of efficient geo-distributed graph analytics. We find that optimizing the iterative processing style of graph-parallel systems is the key to achieving this goal rather than extending existing geo-distributed techniques to graph processing. Based on this, we discuss our proposal on building MONARCH, the first system to our knowledge that focuses on geo-distributed graph processing. Our preliminary evaluation of MONARCH shows encouraging results.
