Query: Online Collection and Forecasting of Resource Utilization in Large-Scale
  Distributed Systems   Large-scale distributed computing systems often contain thousands of
distributed nodes (machines). Monitoring the conditions of these nodes is
important for system management purposes, which, however, can be extremely
resource demanding as this requires collecting local measurements of each
individual node and constantly sending those measurements to a central
controller. Meanwhile, it is often useful to forecast the future system
conditions for various purposes such as resource planning/allocation and
anomaly detection, but it is usually too resource-consuming to have one
forecasting model running for each node, which may also neglect correlations in
observed metrics across different nodes. In this paper, we propose a mechanism
for collecting and forecasting the resource utilization of machines in a
distributed computing system in a scalable manner. We present an algorithm that
allows each local node to decide when to transmit its most recent measurement
to the central node, so that the transmission frequency is kept below a given
constraint value. Based on the measurements received from local nodes, the
central node summarizes the received data into a small number of clusters.
Since the cluster partitioning can change over time, we also present a method
to capture the evolution of clusters and their centroids. As an effective way
to reduce the amount of computation, time-series forecasting models are trained
on the time-varying centroids of each cluster, to forecast the future resource
utilizations of a group of local nodes. The effectiveness of our proposed
approach is confirmed by extensive experiments using multiple real-world
datasets.
