Summary: | As dynamic graph data have been actively used, incremental graph partition schemes have been studied to efficiently store and manage large graphs. In this paper, we propose a vertex-cut based novel incremental graph partitioning scheme that supports load balancing in a distributed environment. The proposed scheme chooses the load of each node that considers its storage utilization and throughput as the partitioning criterion. The proposed scheme defines hot data that means a particular vertex frequently searched among graphs requested by queries. We manage and utilize hot data for graph partitioning. Finally, we perform vertex-cut based dynamic graph partitioning by using a vertex replication index, the load each node, and hot data to distribute the load evenly in a distributed environment. In order to verify the superiority of the proposed partitioning scheme, we compare it with the existing partitioning schemes through a variety of performance evaluations.
