The Graph Processing System (GSP) is a Java-based distributed system designed to perform operations on graphs efficiently. This system consists of a client-server architecture where clients send requests to the server to add or remove edges from a graph, as well as query for the shortest path between two nodes in the graph.
- Graph Server: The server component of the system responsible for managing the graph and processing client requests.
- Graph Client: The client component that interacts with the server by sending requests to perform operations on the graph.
- Configuration: A configuration class that reads configuration parameters from a properties file, such as server address, ports, and number of nodes.
- Graph: A class representing the graph structure and containing methods to add edges, remove edges, and find the shortest path between nodes.
- Graph Service Interface: An RMI (Remote Method Invocation) interface defining the methods that can be invoked remotely by clients.
system.properties: Configuration file containing system properties such as server address, ports, and number of nodes.
server.Dockerfile: Contains the instructions to build the server's docker image. build.sh: Packages the server into a jar and build the server's docker image.
-
Configuration: Update the system.properties file to configure the system parameters such as server address, ports, and number of nodes.
-
Building the Server: Run build.sh script to produce its corresponding jar and the docker image of the server.
-
Network Adapter: The server needs a network adapter to be created in the host machine. Run the following command to create a network adapter named 'gsp-net'. Make sure that the server's IP address is in the same subnet as the network adapter.
-
Starting the Application: Run Start.java to start the docker container of the server. It waits for the server to be up and running by waiting for the R signaled from the server. Then it starts the clients to send requests to the server.
-
Adding/Removing Edges: Use the format
<Operation> <Source Node> <Destination Node>in the instructions file. Replace<Operation>with 'A' for adding an edge and 'D' for removing an edge. -
Querying Shortest Path: Use the format
Q <Source Node> <Destination Node>in the instructions file to query the shortest path between two nodes. -
Performance Measurement: The client measures the time taken to execute each batch of instructions and logs the results.
-
Sleep Interval: After completing each batch of instructions, the client sleeps for a random duration between 1 to 10 seconds before starting the next batch.
