Efficient Fuzz Testing for Apache Spark Using Framework Abstraction

The emerging data-intensive applications are increasingly dependent on data-intensive scalable computing (DISC) systems, such as Apache Spark, to process large data. Despite their popularity, DISC applications are hard to test. In recent years, fuzz testing has been remarkably successful; however, it is nontrivial to apply such traditional fuzzing to big data analytics directly because: (1) the lo...
