—Serverlesscomputinghasbecomeincreasinglypopularforcloudapplications,duetoitscompellingpropertiesof high-levelabstractions,lightweightruntime,highelasticityand pay-per-usebilling.Inthisrevolutionarycomputingparadigm shift,challengesarisewhenadaptingdataanalyticsapplications totheserverlessenvironment,duetothelackofsupport forefficientstatesharing,whichattractever-growingresearch attention.Inthispaper,weaimtoexploittheadvantagesoftasklevelorchestrationandfine-grainedresourceprovisioningfor dataanalyticsonserverlessplatforms,withthehopeoffulfilling thepromiseofserverlessdeploymenttothemaximumextent.
