Empirical Analysis of High Efficient Remote Cloud Data Center Backup Using HBase and Cassandra

Abstract EN

HBase, a master-slave framework, and Cassandra, a peer-to-peer (P2P) framework, are the two most commonly used large-scale distributed NoSQL databases, especially applicable to the cloud computing with high flexibility and scalability and the ease of big data processing.

Regarding storage structure, different structure adopts distinct backup strategy to reduce the risks of data loss.

This paper aims to realize high efficient remote cloud data center backup using HBase and Cassandra, and in order to verify the high efficiency backup they have applied Thrift Java for cloud data center to take a stress test by performing strictly data read/write and remote database backup in the large amounts of data.

Finally, in terms of the effectiveness-cost evaluation to assess the remote datacenter backup, a cost-performance ratio has been evaluated for several benchmark databases and the proposed ones.

As a result, the proposed HBase approach outperforms the other databases.
