- Abstract
- Although conventional index structures provide various nearest-neighbor search algorithms for high-dimensional data, there are additional requirements to increase search performances, as well as to support index scalability for large-scale datasets. To support these requirements, we propose a distributed high-dimensional index structure based on cluster systems, called a Distributed Vector Approximationtree (DVA-tree), which is a two-level structure consisting of a hybrid spill-tree and Vector Approximation files (VA-files). We also describe the algorithms used for constructing the DVA-tree over multiple machines and performing distributed k-nearest neighbors (NN) searches. To evaluate performances of the DVA-tree, we conduct an experimental study using both real and synthetic datasets. The results show that our proposed method has significant performance advantages over existing index structures on different kinds of dataset. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012.
