Deliverable 3.1 DataBench Architecture
This document provides an overview of the DataBench Toolbox Architecture and main functional elements. The DataBench Toolbox aims to be an umbrella framework for big data benchmarking based on existing efforts in the community. It will include features to reuse existing big data benchmarks into a common framework, and will help users to search, select, download, execute and get a set of technical and business indicators out of the benchmarks’ results.
The Toolbox is therefore one of the main building blocks of the project and the main interaction point with the users of benchmarking tools. This document provides the architectural foundations and main elements of the tooling support to be used by big data benchmarking practitioners. In this sense, the document gives an overview of the different elements of DataBench ecosystem to contextualize the significance of the Toolbox, as well as details about the different components of the Toolbox identified so far, and hints about their potential implementation.
This document is the first deliverable related to the DataBench Toolbox. Updates to the architecture will be provided as integral part of the different releases of the Toolbox expected in the DataBench WP3 lifecycle.
