Kylin: An efficient and scalable graph data processing system

We introduce Kylin, an efficient and scalable graph data processing system. Kylin is based on bulk synchronization processing(BSP) model to process graph data. Although there have been some BSP-based graph processing systems, Kylin is different from these systems in two-fold. First, Kylin cooperates with HBase to achieve scalable data manipulation. Second, We propose three techniques to optimize the performance of Kylin. The proposed techniques are pull messaging, lazy vertex loading and vertex-weighted partitioning. We demonstrate Kylin outperforms other BSP-based systems, i.e. Hama and Giraph, in the experiments.
