Scalable Range Query Processing for Large-Scale Distributed Database Applications (original) (raw)
2005
Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems provide a robust, scalable and decentralized way to share and publish data. Although highly efficient, current P2P index structures based on Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) provide only exact match data lookups. This compromises their use in database applications where more advanced query facilities, such as range queries, are a key requirement. In this paper, we give a new P2P indexing structure that supports range searches over shared data while maintaining DHTs logarithmic search time. Our index structure can be seen as an extension of the Chord P2P overlay so that data items are mapped to the Chord address space in an order-preserving way, hence supporting range query executions. Load balancing of skewed data is then achieved deterministically using the underlying DHT infrastructure. Experimental evaluations show that our mechanism provides strong load balancing guarantees in systems with high data skews.

DDT: A distributed data structure for the support of P2P range query
2009
Abstract This paper defines and evaluates a hierarchical distributed data structure, distributed digest trie, supporting range queries in P2P systems. Providing efficient support for these queries is currently a challenging research issue in the P2P field, as classical approaches based on distributed hash tables (DHT) are often not suitable for this kind of queries, due to the loss of locality introduced by the hashing function.
Raq: a range-queriable distributed data structure
Abstract Different structures are used in peer-to-peer networks to represent their inherently distributed, self-organized, and decentralized memory structure. In this paper, a simple range-queriable distributed data structure, called RAQ, is proposed to efficiently support exact match and range queries over multi-dimensional data. In RAQ, the key space is partitioned among the network with n nodes, in which each element has links to (log) O n other elements.
