US 8,621,070 B1 · Statistical profiling of cluster tasks

Abstract

A variety of complex multiphase tasks may execute within a cluster network environment. It may be advantageous to track and analyze the processing of such multiphase tasks. Accordingly, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for tracking the processing of a multiphase task within a cluster network environment. In particular, runtime support for recording task processing annotations may be embedded into a multiphase task using an analysis model. The analysis model may specify task processing annotations that are to be recorded during one or more phases of processing the multiphase task. During execution, task processing annotations may be recorded and associated with corresponding phases of the multiphase task. Task processing annotations may be aggregated into aggregated statistical task data. The aggregated statistical task data may be used to generate views of statistical data, which may provide insight into the cluster network environment (e.g., problematic nodes, bottlenecks, etc.).

Dependent claims

A method for incorporating an analysis model into a multiphase task, comprising:

incorporating an analysis model into a multiphase task to be processed within a clustered network environment, the analysis model specifying task processing annotations to be recorded during one or more phases of processing the multiphase task;
and
during the processing of the multiphase task across one or more nodes within the clustered network environment:
recording the task processing annotations specified by the analysis model, the recording comprising:
