Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel implementation for solving the large-scale k-medoids clustering problem. Conversely to the most famous k-means, k-medoids suffers from a computationally intensive phase for medoids evaluation, whose complexity is quadratic in space and time; thus solving this task for large datasets and, specifically, for large clusters might be unfeasible. In order to overcome this problem, we propose two alternatives for medoids update, one exact method and one approximate method: the former based on solving, in a distributed fashion, the quadratic medoid update problem; the latter based on a scan and replacement procedure. We implemented and tested our approach using the Apache Spark framework for parallel and distributed processing on several datasets of increasing dimensions, both in terms of patterns and dimensionality, and computational results show that both approaches are efficient and effective, able to converge to the same solutions provided by state-of-th e-art k-medoids implementations and, at the same time, able to scale very well as the dataset size and/or number of working units increase.
