Benchmarking Elastic Cloud Big Data Services Under SLA Constraints

We introduce an extension for TPC benchmarks addressing the requirements of big data processing in cloud environments. We characterize it as the Elasticity Test and evaluate under TPCx-BB (BigBench). First, the Elasticity Test incorporates an approach to generate real-world query submissions patterns with distinct data scale factors based on major industrial cluster logs. Second, a new metric is introduced based on Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that takes the quality of service requirements of each query under consideration.
