Abstract:
This paper proposes and presents a comparison of scheduling
algorithms applied to the context of load balancing the query
traffic on distributed inverted files. We put emphasis on
queries requiring intersection of posting lists, which is a
very demanding case for the term partitioned inverted file
and a case in which the document partitioned inverted file
used by current search engines can perform very efficiently.
We show the with proper scheduling of queries the term
partitioned approach can outperform the document partitioned
approach.
