A Recommender for Choosing Data Systems based on Application Profiling and Benchmarking

Abstract

In our data-driven society, there are hundreds of possible data systems in the market with a wide range of configuration parameters, making it very hard for enterprises and users to choose the most suitable data systems. There is a lack of representative empirical evidence to help users make an in- formed decision. Using benchmark results is a widely adopted practice, but like there are several data systems, there are various benchmarks. This ongoing work presents an architecture and methods of a system that supports the recommendation of the most suitable data system for an application. We also illustrates how the recommendation would work in a fictitious scenario.
