An Indexing Framework for Efficient Retrieval on the Cloud

The emergence of the Cloud system has simplified the deployment of large-scale distributed systems for software vendors. The Cloud system provides a simple and unified interface between vendor and user, allowing vendors to focus more on the software itself rather than the underlying framework. Existing Cloud systems seek to improve performance by increasing parallelism. In this paper, we explore an alternative solution, proposing an indexing framework for the Cloud system based on the structured overlay. Our indexing framework reduces the amount of data transferred inside the Cloud and facilitates the deployment of database back-end applications.
