Abstract

Online data deduplication aims to identify records that represent the same purpose on a continuous data flow environment. It must be able to process a range of information with high effectiveness and no delays. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a developed tool entitled Redblock, for real-time data deduplication, using a distributed platform for online processing combined with an Inverted Index. During the experimental evaluation, Redblock managed to provide good preliminary results in terms of efficiency and effectiveness in a database.

Highlights

  • Data integration provides information in an easy and accessible way by consolidating different sources of data into a single repository

  • This paper proposes a new tool for online deduplication focusing on the blocking process

  • It is possible to verify that Redblock maintained a high quality

Summary

Introduction

Data integration provides information in an easy and accessible way by consolidating different sources of data into a single repository. A fundamental task is identifying entities (i.e., records, documents or texts) that are already inserted in the database so it is not necessary for them to be allocated again. This process is known as data deduplication. Blocking corresponds to the process of generating pair candidates It means that all records must be analyzed in the search of potential duplicates. In order to understand our proposed approach, this section presents main methods involving data blocking and the Apache Storm platform which turns possible to develop applications that require massive data processing in real time
