Scientific Workflow Community Provenance Challenges 2006: understanding and sharing information about

provenance representations and capabilities 2006: interoperability of different provenance 2009: evaluating various aspects of OPM 2010: showcase OPM in the context of novel applications

Open Provenance Model (2007 - 2010) PROV-DM: The PROV Data Model (W3C Recommendation 30

April 2013)

SWFMS and Provenance

Taverna Kepler View VisTrails, Pegasus Swift

Galaxy Triana OPMProv Karma RDFProv etc.

Support provenance collection Use proprietary or third-party systems to manage

provenance Differ in provenance models, provenance vocabularies,

inference support, and query languages. May eventually converge to W3C PROV specifications

Provenance Serialization and Querying Both OPM and PROV-DM can be serialized in RDF Queried in SPARQL

Find all artifacts and their values, if any, in a provenance graph with identifier http://cs.panam.edu/utpb#opmGraph

This Work - Motivation Single provenance graph as an RDF graph

In general, readily manageable in main memory of a single machine

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of provenance graphs as a provenance (RDF) dataset Challenging to manage

Our Focus/Problem: Efficient and scalable storage and querying of large collections of provenance graphs serialized as RDF graphs (in an Apache HBase database)

8

This Work - Contributions Novel storage and indexing schemes for RDF data in

HBase that are suitable for provenance datasets Novel and efficient querying algorithms to evaluate

SPARQL queries in HBase that are optimized to make use of bitmap indices and numeric values instead of triples

Empirical evaluation of our approach using provenance graphs and test queries of the University of Texas Provenance Benchmark (UTPB)

Indexing Scheme Selection Indices: Is, Ip, Io

Find a triple with known s, p and o:

13

Indexing Scheme Join Indices: Iss, Iso, Ios, Ioo

Find triples with the same object as subject in triple at position i:

Iso(i)

14

Storage Scheme One table with two column families for data and

indices Each row stores one complete provenance graph

15

Query Processing Four efficient algorithms/functions:

application of selection indices application of join indices handling of special cases not supported by the indices basic graph pattern evaluation

Performance Study Implementation

Java, Hadoop 1.0.0, HBase 0.94

Cluster setup One HBase Master Eight HBase Region Servers

All commodity machines

Benchmark – UTPB (5 datasets, 11 queries)

23

Performance Study Q1 – simplest, yet most expensive query due to a large

result set Q1. Find all provenance graph identifiers.PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> PREFIX owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> SELECT * WHERE { ?graph rdf:type owl:Thing . }

24

Performance Study Q2 – Q11 – different complexity, yet similar performance Example: Q8. Find all artifacts and their values, if any, in

a particular provenance graph.PREFIX opmv: <http://purl.org/net/opmv/ns#> PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> PREFIX opmo: <http://openprovenance.org/model/opmo#> PREFIX utpb: <http://cs.panam.edu/utpb#> SELECT ?artifact ?value FROM NAMED <http://cs.panam.edu/utpb#opmGraph> WHERE {

GRAPH utpb:opmGraph { ?artifact rdf:type opmv:Artifact . OPTIONAL { ?artifact opmo:annotation ?annotation . ?annotation opmo:property ?property .

?property opmo:value ?value . } . OPTIONAL { ?artifact opmo:avalue ?artifactValue . ?artifactValue opmo:content ?value . } . }

}

Performance Study

Please see other queries in the paper – very efficient and scalable (nearly constant scalability due to minimal data transfers and fast index-based join processing)

27

Summary and Future Work Designed novel storage and indexing schemes for RDF

data in HBase that are suitable for provenance datasets

Empirical evaluation results are promising Future work

Compare, compare, compare More experiments with multi-user workloads More optimizations PROV-DM benchmark anyone?
