Poster: Learning Index on Content-based Pub/Sub

Abstract

Content-based Pub/Sub paradigm has been widely used in many distributed applications and existing approaches suffer from high redundancy subscription index structure and low matching efficiency. To tackle this issue, in this paper, we propose a learning framework to guide the construction of an efficient in-memory subscription index, namely PMIndex, via a multi-task learning framework. The key of PMIndex is to merge redundant subscriptions into an optimal number of partitions for less memory cost and faster matching time. Our initial experimental result on a synthetic dataset demonstrates that PMindex outperforms two state-of-the-arts by faster matching time and less memory cost.
