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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
A simple Piccolo job that counts word occurrences in a distributed manner:
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")
