Distributed dataflow systems enable data-parallel processing of large datasets on clusters. Public cloud providers offer a large variety and quantity of resources that can be used for such clusters. Yet, selecting appropriate cloud resources for dataflow jobs - that neither lead to bottlenecks nor to low resource utilization - is often challenging, even for expert users such as data engineers. We present C3O, a collaborative system for optimizing data processing cluster configurations in public clouds based on shared historical runtime data. The shared data is utilized for predicting the runtimes of data processing jobs on different possible cluster configurations, using specialized regression models. These models take the diverse execution contexts of different users into account and exhibit mean absolute errors below 3% in our experimental evaluation with 930 unique Spark jobs.
