Abstract
This paper presents a fault tolerance framework for applications that process data using a distributed network of user-defined operations in a pipelined fashion. The framework saves intermediate results and messages exchanged among application components in a distributed data management system to facilitate quick recovery from failures. The experimental results show that the framework scales well and our approach introduces very little overhead to application execution.
