I haven't used KFS, but I believe a major difference is that you can (apparently) mount KFS as a standard device under Linux, allowing you to read and write directly to it without having to re-compile the application (as far as I know that's not possible with HDFS, although the last time I installed HDFS was 0.16)
... It is definitely much newer.
