The proposed work also describes that the Users or the Decision Makers communicate with their coordinator only through a query and the Coordinator decides whether the request is from an Authenticated User or not, by searching the MAC_IDs stored in its own Database. Once the request from an Authenticated User is received by the coordinator, the coordinator starts to distribute or replicate the requested query over the Local Sites and waits for the response from the Local Site. It is to be kept in mind that, as the Dimension Tables are distributed over the Local Sites, all the Sites must not contain the same data. Therefore, the Site which contains the desire data of the query, responses first to its coordinator and then the coordinator sends a Stop Signal to all other Sites to stop their execution, and finally the Coordinator dispatches the result of the query to the Destination User. In this way the proposed work ensures the performance enhancement of Data Warehouse than the existing Centralized Query Processing Approach. Keywords: Data warehouse, star schema, snow flake schema, pseudo mesh schema, topology, dimension table, normalized form. 1.INTRODUCTION Data warehouse has become an increasingly popular topic for researchers in respect to modern trends of business organizations. It is a set of incorporated databases designed to support decision-making and problem solving functions, comprising of highly summarized data. Data warehouses are designed specifically to facilitate comprehensive reporting and adept analysis. Most of the Data warehouse is invariably built using star schema and snowflake schema. Star schema comprises of one or more fact table(s) connected with dimension tables. Centre of the star schema consist of one or more fact table(s) and it points to distinguished dimension tables. Snowflake schema is an extension of star schema where each point of the star explodes into more points. The distinction initiates from the fact that in star schema, fact tables are in normalized format and dimension tables are in un-normalized format, keeping queries simple and furnishing fast response time, whereas, in snowflake schema, both fact tables and dimension tables are in normalized format, thereby reducing the query performance, on the basis of existence of more joins. In star schema, each dimension is represented by a solitary dimension table, whereas in snowflake schema, that particular dimension table is normalized into multiple lookup tables, each representing a level in the dimension Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2015 Page 35 International Journal of Application or Innovation in Engineering & Management (IJAIEM) Web Site: www.ijaiem.org Email: [email protected] Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2015 ISSN 2319 - 4847 hierarchy. Both these architectures are well accepted by the industry, ignoring the ambiguity associated with them. In star schema, a single fact table has many dimension tables associated with it and in snowflake schema; it further creates smaller dimension tables from original dimension table(s). Communication amongst two or more dimension tables in both the concepts is only through the fact table. The proposed concept ensures that it will furnish a suitable mode of communication amongst n number of dimension tables. Since the proposed work is being carried out on the Pseudo Mesh Schema, a glimpse of Pseudo Mesh Schema is given here before the discussion about the present work. This Pseudo Mesh Schema has already been well accepted by the Computer Society of India at their First International Conference on Intelligent Infrastructure [10]. A Pseudo Mesh Schema is exactly like the Mesh Network Topology. In the Pseudo Mesh Schema a set of Dimension Tables are connected to one another and all the Fact and Dimension Tables are in normalized form ensuring the elimination of data redundancy. The number of links can be precisely calculated by using the formula n (n-1)/2, where n is the number of tables (Fact and Dimension) present within the structure. The structure is obviously a flexible one, as any increase or decrease of one or more databases within the structure does not create additional overhead. 2. FLOW CHART OF THE ENTIRE WORK For easy understanding, a glimpse of the entire work is established through a Flow Chart as given in Figure–1. Figure–1: A Flow Chart of the Proposed Work 3. QUERY PROCESSING AND RESPONSE IN A CENTRALIZED DATA WAREHOUSE It is vital to understand that how the query of User requests are being processed in the Centralized Data Warehouse. For easy understanding, a glimpse of the said System is established through Figure–2. Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2015 Page 36 International Journal of Application or Innovation in Engineering & Management (IJAIEM) Web Site: www.ijaiem.org Email: [email protected] Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2015 ISSN 2319 - 4847 Figure–2: Query Processing and Response in a Centralized Data Warehouse The above figure illustrates that in the Centralized Data Warehouse all the data reside within the Central Database Server; all the users used to send their request in the form of query only to the Central Server and once the query would penetrate to the Query Processor of the Data Warehouse then the Query Processor would start to execute the query. Whatever be the searching technique, in order to search the desired result of query from the huge amount of data, the query response time is increased. Since in the Multi-tasking environment, the Data Warehouse Query Processor does not process only a single query or request, the probability of increasing the query time is much higher than the response time for processing the single query. On the other hand, this slow query response time becomes a constraint to the Corporate Decision Makers for quick decision. In the present work an indispensible remedy has been proposed and discussed. 4. A NOTION OF THE DISTRIBUTED DATA WAREHOUSE This section illustrates that how the entire data of the Central Data Warehouse can be distributed over the geographically dispersed Local Sites and for establishing a communication to their Coordinator, how all the Local Sites are connected to each other by using a Network Topology (Mesh Topology). For lucid understanding the idea is established in Figure–3. Figure–3: Distributed Data Warehouse 5. DISCUSSION ON DATA DISTRIBUTION METHOD As it have been proposed that data will be distributed over the geographically dispersed Local Sites, an unambiguous Data Distribution method must be mentioned in this section. In the Data Warehouse, the Fact Tables usually contain different key fields of the Dimension Tables. The key fields may be a Primary Key or a Foreign Key depending upon the database design. In the Data Warehouse purview, the Dimension Tables contain much more descriptive type of data in comparison to Fact Tables, thus the replication of Fact Tables will not be a serious overhead to the System. Therefore the proposal is that, all the Fact Tables of the Global Data Warehouse will be replicated over the Local Sites and all the Dimension Tables will be distributed in Round Robin Fashion. Before explaining further on the said data distribution technique, first it is needed to establish a pictorial representation of Global Data Warehouse where all the data reside in the same server. Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2015 Page 37 International Journal of Application or Innovation in Engineering & Management (IJAIEM) Web Site: www.ijaiem.org Email: [email protected] Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2015 ISSN 2319 - 4847 Figure–4: Global Data Warehouse Architecture with Mesh Schema 6. DISTRIBUTION OF DIMENSION TABLES In the proposed work, all the Dimension Tables of the Mesh Schema are being distributed over the Local Sites by using Round Robin distribution method. The Figure-4 has shown a Global Data Warehouse with Mesh Schema having one Fact Table and Six Dimension Tables. It is assumed that the entire data will be distributed over the three Local Sites (Could also be distributed over the N number of Sites), each site having two Dimension Tables, and Fact Table is being replicated over the all Local Sites as shown in Figure–5. Figure–5: Distribution of Dimension Tables 7. FUNCTIONALITIES OF THE COORDINATOR SITE As stated earlier, among all the Local Sites one of the Sites will be selected as the Coordinator Site and this Coordinator Site does not contain any data but it contains the MAC_ID of all the Users connected to it and the role of the Coordinator in this regard is very vital. The Coordinator Site plays the following roles: Identification of Authenticated User Replication of Query over the Local Sites Dispatch of the result of query to the User 7.1 Identification of Authenticated User In the web environment, one of the major duties of any resource centre is to detect whether the Data Access request is coming from an Authenticated User or not. In the present work, the Coordinator Site executes this responsibility very well with the help of the MAC_ID stored in its own Database. Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2015 Page 38 International Journal of Application or Innovation in Engineering & Management (IJAIEM) Web Site: www.ijaiem.org Email: [email protected] Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2015 ISSN 2319 - 4847 Required Algorithm for User Identification Step-1: Get the MAC_ID of the Requested User work station by executing the get_macID ( ) subroutine of the Coordinator Step-2: Performs a searching in the Coordinator Database with MAC_ID obtained through the user request/query. If the obtained MAC_ID is found in the Database, then set True to the Authenticated_User_Flag. Otherwise set False to the Authenticated_User_Flag. Step-3: Return the Authenticated_User_Flag. For easy understanding, the above stated functionalities are shown in Figure–6. Figure–6: User Identification 7.2 Replication of Query over the Local Sites After the pointing of Authenticated User, the next immediate responsibility of the Coordinator is to replicate or distribute the query over the Local Sites and wait for a response from the Sites. For this step, a well designed algorithm can ensure the communication in efficient way between the Coordinator and the Local Sites. Required Algorithm for Communication between the Coordinator and the Local Sites In this algorithm, all the Local Sites are being treated as Participants and the Coordinator as the Coordinator Site. Step-1: Coordinator: Send the PREPARE Signal to all the Participants and activate a Timeout. Step-2: Participants: Wait for the PREPARE Signal. If all the Participants are ready then as an acknowledgement they send a READY Signal to the Coordinator. Step-3: Coordinator: Wait for the acknowledgement from all the Participants. A. If the Acknowledgement is obtained before expiry of the Timeout, then the Coordinator activates a Timeout and dispatches the User Data Access query to each of the Participant and wait for the Acknowledgement from the Participants. B. If the Timeout is not expired and Acknowledgement has also not been obtained from all the Participants, then the Coordinator sends a Global Reset Command to all the Participants and waits for the Acknowledgement from the Participants. C. If the Timeout is expired and the Acknowledgement has not been obtained from the Participants, then the Coordinator sends a Global Reset Command to all the Participants and waits for the Acknowledgement from the Participants. Step-4: Participants: Wait for the command Query Execution or the Global Reset and send an Acknowledgement to the Coordinator. A. If the command is Query Execution then the Participants starts to execute the assigned query in its local database and if the desired result is found, then transmits it to the Coordinator and wait for an Acknowledgement from the Coordinator. B. If the command is Global Reset then each of the Participants resets their current state and transmits an Acknowledgement message to the Coordinator.

A. If the Query result arrives within the given Timeout, then the Coordinator sends an Acknowledgement message to the Participant who was transmitted the Result of the assigned query and sends a STOP Signal to all the rest Participants and wait for an Acknowledgement. B. If the given Timeout expires and the Result of the Query has not arrived, then the Coordinator Resends the Query to all the Participants and waits for an Acknowledgement. C. If Acknowledgement is of Global Reset, then the Coordinator resets its present state and records the entire communication in the Log. Step-6: Participants: Wait for the Stop or the Re–Execution of the Query. A. If the Signal is for Stop, then the Participants stop the execution of assigned query and transmit an Acknowledgement message to the Coordinator. B. If the Query is reassigned by the Coordinator, then the Participants follow the Step A of the Step 4. Step-7: Coordinator: Wait for the Acknowledgement message. A. If the Acknowledgement message is Stop of Query Execution, then the Coordinator resets its present state and records the entire communication in the Log, otherwise follows the Step A & B of Step 5. 7.3 Dispatch the Result of Query to the User If the Data against the requested Query exists at any of the Local Site, then the Coordinator gets response from that Site. Once the desired query result is obtained by the Coordinator, the Coordinator dispatches the result to the Destination User. Hence, the proposed work ensures the quick response to the user than the existing approach. 8. CONCLUSION The proposed work in the present paper ensures better performance of the Data Warehouse by implementing Query Processing Scheme, but in order to implement or simulate the proposed work it is needed to build specific software which can be implemented as a future work. In the proposed work, two algorithms have been stated, namely, one for Identification of Authenticated User and another for Communication between the Coordinator and Participants. Those algorithms will work as a backbone for communication in the data warehouse environmental setup. As future work those two algorithms can be implemented in the form of Software. During communication between the Coordinator and the Local Sites, different failures can occur. The analysis of those failures are very vital to implement the possible remedy for those failures and that can be considered as a very good future work. There is a scope of enhancing the searching operation by implementing an efficient Heuristic Search.
