Optimization of Columnar NoSQL Data Warehouse Model with Clarans Clustering Algorithm

Abstract

. In order to perfectly meet the needs of business leaders, decision-makers have resorted to the integration of external sources (such as Linked Open Data) in the decision-making system in order to enrich their existing data warehouses with new concepts contributing to bring added value to their organizations, enhance its productivity and retain its customers. However, the traditional data warehouse environment is not suitable to support external Big Data. To deal with this new challenge, several researches are oriented towards the direct conversion of classical relational data warehouse to a columnar NoSQL data warehouse, whereas the existing advanced works based on clustering algorithms are very limited and have several shortcomings. In this context, our paper proposes a new solution that conceives an optimized columnar data warehouse based on CLARANS clustering algorithm that has proven its effectiveness in generating optimal column families. Experimental re-sults improve the validity of our system by performing a detailed comparative study between the existing advanced approaches and our proposed optimized method.
