A comprehensive Distributed Co-clustering (DisCo)
solution
Using Hadoop
DisCo is a scalable framework under which
various co-clustering algorithms can be
implemented

Algorithm
 cluster shapes
checkerboard partitions
 single bi-cluster
 Exclusive row and column partitions
 overlapping partitions

 Data

Processing 350 GB raw network event log


pre-processing
Needs over 5 hours to extract source/destination IP
pairs
Achieve much better performance on a few
commodity nodes running Hadoop
Setting up Hadoop required minimal effort

Specifically for co-clustering, there are two main
preprocessing tasks:


Building the graph from raw data
Pre-computing the transpose
During co-clustering optimization, we need
to iterate over both rows and columns.
 Need to pre-compute the adjacency lists for
both the original graph as well as its
transpose

the original adjacency matrix  a grid of submatrices
An m x n matrix, a co-clustering is a pair of row
and column labeling vectors
r(i):the i-th row of the matrix

The total capacity of our HDFS cluster was just
2.4 terabytes
HDFS block size was set to 64MB (default value)

relatively low-cost components
I/O rates that exceed those of high-performance
storage systems.
 Performance
scales almost linearly with the
number of machines/disks.
