distributed file system

Distributed file systems may aim for "transparency" in a number of aspects.

Distributed file systems do not share block level access to the same storage but use a network protocol.

Sector is a distributed file system targeting data storage over a large number of commodity computers.

Because distributed file systems were not yet widely available, a new protocol was developed based on the client-server model.

This may be a distributed file system.

This results in the elimination of a number of problems which typically plague distributed file systems.

It is designed for coarse-grained locking and also provides a limited but reliable distributed file system.

Lustre is a parallel distributed file system, generally used for large-scale cluster computing.

Also its Distributed File System is on schedule for June.

The Circle is a peer-to-peer distributed file system written mainly in Python.

The input reader reads data from stable storage (typically a distributed file system) and generates key/value pairs.

PAST is a distributed file system layered on top of Pastry.

Distributed file system can also refer to:

MapReduce's stable inputs and outputs are usually stored in a distributed file system.

Distributed file systems such as the Andrew File System.

XtreemFS is an object-based, distributed file system for wide area networks.

Behind the scenes, the distributed file system handles locating files, transporting data, and potentially providing other features listed below.

In computing, the term object-based file system refers to an architectural blueprint for distributed file systems.

In addition, it provides a distributed file system that stores data on the compute nodes, providing very high aggregate bandwidth across the cluster.

Both map/reduce and the distributed file system are designed so that node failures are automatically handled by the framework.

However, if the network providing connectivity to the remote data is interrupted, there will be data availability issues, unless distributed file systems are in use.

Inktank is the lead development contributor and financial sponsor company behind the open source Ceph distributed file system.

The design roadmap plans to converge it towards a true distributed file system with good scalability, strong fault tolerance and caching.

The Output Writer writes the output of the Reduce to the stable storage, usually a distributed file system.
