Youxian Tao is currently a master degree candidate at School of Information, Renmin University of China. He received his B.S. degrees in computer science and technology from the Hohai University in 2013. His current research interests are Adaptive Layout Optimization and OLAP system. He and his team members developed a data layout optimization framework, which helps improve the I/O performance of wide tables stored in columnar formats on HDFS and published a paper on ICDE 2018. Youxian Tao is not a pure programming guy - besides writing codes, he also enjoys cooking and travelling.

    • Research

    2020.01 - 2020.04 Layout Optimization Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

    This research will open source soon.

    2017.12 - Present Adaptive Hybrid Storage Optimization for Wide Tables Analysis

    This research takes a break for some reasons.

    2017.10 - 2018.08 Indexing and Ingestion for Real-time Analytics of ID-associated Data

    Many types of log data such as Internet access logs grow rapidly. How to index and ingest large amount of data in a few seconds and support real-time query evaluation on the data becomes a big challenge. By taking lessons from LSM-Tree, which is widely used in key-value stores, we proposed a lightweight and powerful log data indexing scheme which can ingest 500+ million tuples per node per second and support real-time lookups on multiple indexed dimensions.

    2019.09 - 2019.10 Adaptive Data Layout Optimization of Very Large and Wide Tables

    In this ongoing work, emerging hardwares and more extensive workloads are considered in data layout optimizations of very large and wide tables. With an adaptive framework, query workloads will benefit from a scalable and self-tuning storage layout in HDFS.

    Projects

    Pixels

    [Github]

    - A flexible column storage format with adaptive optimization techniques embedded.
    This project will open source soon.

    Paraflow

    [Open Source],[Desc],[Video],[Poster]

    - A real-time analytical system for ID-associated data.
    Paraflow enables users to load data into data warehouse (like HDFS) as soon as possible, and provides real-time analysis over data of being loaded and in the warehouse.

    • Fast loading. Paraflow utilizes a well-designed pipeline for efficient data loading.
    • No loss staging. Kafka is used in the system to stage data without losses.
    • Real-time analysis. Lightweight indices are used in Paraflow to speed up queries.

    Rainbow

    [Open Source],[Desc],[Video]

    - A data layout optimization framework for wide tables stored on HDFS.
    Rainbow is an ETL tool which ADAPTIVELY improve the I/O performance HDFS column stores by reducing the disk seek costs. User can interact with Rainbow to monitor the optimization process in an ETL pipeline.
