BIG DATA PARADIGM AND A SURVEY OF BIG DATA SCHEDULERS

As the volume and scale of information need to be stored in a database increases, the traditional database methodologies become inadequate. As the versatility of data increases, data becomes difficult to represent using traditional database systems. Many big data systems have emerged to store the big data. Hadoop is one such system. Job scheduling is a vital consideration in all big data systems. There are several job scheduling algorithms being used in big data systems. This paper surveys and compares some of the scheduling algorithms used in big data systems.
