Abstract

Spark is an efficient big data processing platform based on memory computing. However, the default task scheduling algorithm in Spark does not take into account the difference in capability and resource usage of nodes under the Spark cluster. Therefore, an uneven load on the nodes might be resulted with the high-capability node in idle state and the low-capability node in high-load state which will affect the work efficiency. To this end, we propose an adaptive task execution node allocation algorithm based on the ant colony-simulated annealing algorithm. The proposed algorithm optimizes the Spark cluster task execution node allocation method based on the resource usage of the node, which is used to achieve the purpose of load balancing. Experiments show that in comparison with the task scheduling algorithm of the Spark cluster, the task scheduling algorithm proposed in this paper has a significant improvement in cluster load balancing and task completion time.
