"Gluster Announces Apache Hadoop Storage Compatibility in Latest

GlusterFS Release"

August 23, 2011

"... today announced the release of GlusterFS 3.3 beta 2 which

includes compatibility for Apache Hadoop. This latest enhancement

to GlusterFS uses the standard file system APIs available in Hadoop

to provide a new storage option for Hadoop deployments. With this

new feature, GlusterFS is the first open source, POSIX-compliant

file and object storage solution that works with Hadoop. Compatible

with existing MapReduce-based applications and with the ability

to co-exist with HDFS, this new functionality opens up data within

Hadoop deployments to any file- or object-based application,

providing a broad new range of options for big data deployments."

Features and benefits include (一部) :

*)"Fast access to data - with no centralized metadata or name server,

GlusterFS delivers better performance and easier manageability,

with no centralized point of failure;

*)"N-way replication - synchronous and asynchronous replication enables

users to replicate data, changes are tracked and queued to ensure

data stays synchronized regardless of latency or potential network

interruptions;

*)"Increased flexibility in sizing - with Gluster, Hadoop deployments

are no longer limited to large block sizes or 16 TB volume sizes;"
