NoSQL databases like Redis, Cassandra, and MongoDB are increasingly popular because they are flexible, lightweight, and easy to work with. Applications that use these databases will evolve over time, sometimes necessitating (or preferring) a change to the format or organization of the data. The problem we address in this paper is: How can we support the evolution of high-availability applications and their NoSQL data online, without excessive delays or interruptions, even in the presence of backward-incompatible data format changes? We present KVolve, an extension to the popular Redis NoSQL database, as a solution to this problem. KVolve permits a developer to submit an upgrade specification that defines how to transform existing data to the newest version. This transformation is applied lazily as applications interact with the database, thus avoiding long pause times. We demonstrate that KVolve is expressive enough to support substantial practical updates, including format changes to RedisFS, a Redis-backed file system, while imposing essentially no overhead in general use and minimal pause times during updates.

During the last few years, the explosion of Big Data has prompted cloud infrastructures to provide cloud-based database services as cost effective, efficient and scalable solutions to store and process large volume of data. Hence, NoSQL databases bec ame more and more popular because of their inherent features of better performance and high scalability compared to other relational databases. However, with this deployment architecture where the information is stored in a public cloud, protection against the sensitive data is still being a major concern. Since the data owner does not have the full control over his sensitive data in a cloud-based database solution, many organizations are reluctant to move forward with Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) solutions. Some of the recent work addressed this issue by introducing additional layers to provide encryption mechanisms to encrypt data, however, these approaches are more application specific and they need to be properly evaluated to ensure whether they can achieve high performance with the scalability when it comes to large volume of data in a cloud-based production environment. This paper proposes a practical system design and implementation to provide Security-as-a-Service for NoSQL databases (SEC-NoSQL) while supporting the execution of query over encrypted data with guaranteed level of system performance. Several different models of implementations are proposed, and their performance is evaluated using YCSB benchmark considering large number of clients processing simultaneously. Experimental results show that our design fits well on encrypted data while maintaining the high performance and scalability. Moreover, to deploy our solution as a cloud-based service, a practical guide establishing Service Level Agreement (SLA) is also included.
One of the most important aspects of security organization is to establish a framework to identify security significant points where policies and procedures are declared. The (information) security infrastructure comprises entities, processes, and te chnology. All are participants in handling information, which is the item that needs to be protected. Privacy and security information technology is a critical and unmet need in the management of personal information. This paper proposes concepts and technologies for management of personal information. Two different types of information can be distinguished: personal information and nonpersonal information. Personal information can be either personal identifiable information (PII), or nonidentifiable information (NII). Security, policy, and technical requirements can be based on this distinction. At the conceptual level, PII is defined and formalized by propositions over infons (discrete pieces of information) that specify transformations in PII and NII. PII is categorized into simple infons that reflect the proprietor s aspects, relationships with objects, and relationships with other proprietors. The proprietor is the identified person about whom the information is communicated. The paper proposes a database organization that focuses on the PII spheres of proprietors. At the design level, the paper describes databases of personal identifiable information built exclusively for this type of information, with their own conceptual scheme, system management, and physical structure.
Big data systems development is full of challenges in view of the variety of application areas and domains that this technology promises to serve. Typically, fundamental design decisions involved in big data systems design include choosing appropriat e storage and computing infrastructures. In this age of heterogeneous systems that integrate different technologies for development of an optimized solution to a specific real world problem, big data systems are not an exception to any such rule. As far as the storage aspect of any big data system is concerned, the primary facet in this regard is a storage infrastructure and NoSQL is the right technology that fulfills its requirements. However, every big data application has variable data characteristics and thus, the corresponding data fits into a different data model. Moreover, the requirements of different applications vary on the basis of budget and functionality. This paper presents a feature analysis of 80 NoSQL solutions, elaborating on the criteria and points that a developer must consider while making a possible choice. Bivariate analysis of dataset created for the identified NoSQL solutions was performed to establish relationship between 9 features. Furthermore, cluster analysis of the dataset was used to create categories of solutions to present a statistically supported classification scheme. Finally, applications for different solutions were reviewed and classified under domain-specific categories. Random forest classification was used to determine the most relevant features for applications and correspondingly a decision tree-based prediction model was proposed, implemented and deployed in the form of a web application to determine the suitability of a NoSQL solution for an application area.
This paper addresses the problem of representing the set of repairs of a possibly inconsistent database by means of a disjunctive database. Specifically, the class of denial constraints is considered. We show that, given a database and a set of denia l constraints, there exists a (unique) disjunctive database, called canonical, which represents the repairs of the database w.r.t. the constraints and is contained in any other disjunctive database with the same set of minimal models. We propose an algorithm for computing the canonical disjunctive database. Finally, we study the size of the canonical disjunctive database in the presence of functional dependencies for both repairs and cardinality-based repairs.
In this work, we track the lineage of tuples throughout their database lifetime. That is, we consider a scenario in which tuples (records) that are produced by a query may affect other tuple insertions into the DB, as part of a normal workflow. As ti me goes on, exact provenance explanations for such tuples become deeply nested, increasingly consuming space, and resulting in decreased clarity and readability. We present a novel approach for approximating lineage tracking, using a Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique; namely, word embedding. The basic idea is summarizing (and approximating) the lineage of each tuple via a small set of constant-size vectors (the number of vectors per-tuple is a hyperparameter). Therefore, our solution does not suffer from space complexity blow-up over time, and it naturally ranks explanations to the existence of a tuple. We devise an alternative and improved lineage tracking mechanism, that of keeping track of and querying lineage at the column level; thereby, we manage to better distinguish between the provenance features and the textual characteristics of a tuple. We integrate our lineage computations into the PostgreSQL system via an extension (ProvSQL) and experimentally exhibit useful results in terms of accuracy against exact, semiring-based, justifications. In the experiments, we focus on tuples with multiple generations of tuples in their lifelong lineage and analyze them in terms of direct and distant lineage. The experiments suggest a high usefulness potential for the proposed approximate lineage methods and the further suggested enhancements. This especially holds for the column-based vectors method which exhibits high precision and high per-level recall.
