    Autonomic Workload Performance Tuning in Large-Scale Data Repositories
    (Springer London Ltd, 2019) Raza, Basit; Sher, Asma; Afzal, Sana; Malik, Ahmad Kamran; Anjum, Adeel; Kumar, Yogan Jaya; Faheem, Muhammad
    The workload in large-scale data repositories involves concurrent users and contains homogenous and heterogeneous data. The large volume of data, dynamic behavior and versatility of large-scale data repositories is not easy to be managed by humans. This requires computational power for managing the load of current servers. Autonomic technology can support predicting the workload type; decision support system or online transaction processing can help servers to autonomously adapt to the workloads. The intelligent system could be designed by knowing the type of workload in advance and predict the performance of workload that could autonomically adapt the changing behavior of workload. Workload management involves effectively monitoring and controlling the workflow of queries in large-scale data repositories. This work presents a taxonomy through systematic analysis of workload management in large-scale data repositories with respect to autonomic computing (AC) including database management systems and data warehouses. The state-of-the-art practices in large-scale data repositories are reviewed with respect to AC for characterization, performance prediction and adaptation of workload. Current issues are highlighted at the end with future directions.
