epiC: an Extensible and Scalable System for Processing Big Data

Summary: epiC decouples an Actor-like concurrent execution model from data-processing semantics, targeting Hadoop’s weakness on heterogeneous data. Extensible MapReduce and relational layers support structured, semi-structured, and graph data while retaining automatic parallelization, communication, and fault tolerance.
