Piccolo 편집하기

'''Piccolo''' is a distributed in-memory computing framework designed to simplify the development of parallel applications. It provides a shared, distributed key-value store that allows workers to efficiently process large datasets while reducing communication overhead.
==Overview==
Piccolo enables efficient distributed computing by:
*'''In-Memory Data Storage:''' Uses a distributed key-value store to minimize disk I/O.
*'''Fine-Grained Data Sharing:''' Allows workers to share state via a global table abstraction.
*'''Fault Tolerance:''' Supports recovery mechanisms to handle worker failures.
*'''Efficient Synchronization:''' Reduces communication overhead through user-defined consistency models.
Piccolo provides a programming model where developers can focus on computation while the framework handles data distribution and consistency.
==Key Features==
*'''Shared Global Tables''' – Workers access shared state stored in distributed key-value tables.
*'''Automatic Data Partitioning''' – Distributes data across workers for parallel processing.
*'''Flexible Consistency Models''' – Supports user-defined update models to balance performance and correctness.
*'''Fault Recovery''' – Can recover from worker failures by reloading lost state.
*'''Scalability''' – Designed to run efficiently on large clusters.
==How Piccolo Works==
#'''Workers Execute User Code:''' Each worker runs a computation task on distributed data.
#'''Global Tables Store State:''' Data is shared through distributed key-value tables.
#'''Synchronization Ensures Consistency:''' User-defined update models handle concurrent modifications.
#'''Checkpointing Provides Fault Tolerance:''' Periodic checkpoints allow recovery from failures.
==Example Usage==
A simple Piccolo job that counts word occurrences in a distributed manner:<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
import piccolo

# Define a distributed key-value table
word_counts = piccolo.Table("word_counts")

def count_words(worker, data):
    for line in data:
        for word in line.split():
            word_counts.update(word, lambda x: x + 1 if x else 1)

# Run job on a distributed cluster
piccolo.run(count_words, input_data="hdfs://input.txt")
</syntaxhighlight>
