Query: A Model and Survey of Distributed Data-Intensive Systems   Data is a precious resource in today's society, and is generated at an
unprecedented and constantly growing pace. The need to store, analyze, and make
data promptly available to a multitude of users introduces formidable
challenges in modern software platforms. These challenges radically transformed
all research fields that gravitate around data management and processing, with
the introduction of distributed data-intensive systems that offer new
programming models and implementation strategies to handle data characteristics
such as volume, velocity, heterogeneity, and distribution. Each data-intensive
system brings its specific choices in terms of data model, usage assumptions,
synchronization, processing strategy, deployment, guarantees in terms of
consistency, fault tolerance, ordering. Yet, the problems data-intensive
systems face and the solutions they propose are frequently overlapping. This
paper proposes a unifying model that dissects the core functionalities of
data-intensive systems, and precisely discusses alternative design and
implementation strategies, pointing out their assumptions and implications. The
model offers a common ground to understand and compare highly heterogeneous
solutions, with the potential of fostering cross-fertilization across research
communities and advancing the field. We apply our model by classifying tens of
systems and this exercise guides interesting observations on the current state
of things and on open research directions.
