Filtering uninteresting data is important to utilize “big data”. Skyline query is popular technique to filter uninteresting data, in which it selects a set of objects that are not dominated by another from a given large database. However, a skyline query often retrieves too many objects to analyze intensively especially for high-dimensional dataset. To solve the problem, k-dominant skyline queries have been introduced. The size of databases sometimes become too large to compute in a centralized environment. Conventional algorithms for computing k-dominant skyline queries are not well suited for parallel and distributed environments, such as the MapReduce framework. In this paper, we consider an efficient parallel algorithm to process k-dominant skyline query in MapReduce framework. Extensive experiments demonstrate the scalability of proposed algorithm for synthetic big datasets under different settings of data distribution, dimensionality, and cardinality.
