Anu Engineer created HDFS-11118: ----------------------------------- Summary: Block Storage for HDFS Key: HDFS-11118 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11118 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: New Feature Components: hdfs Reporter: Anu Engineer Assignee: Anu Engineer
This JIRA proposes extending HDFS to provide replicated block storage capabilities using Storage Containers. This is would allow users to run unmodified programs that assume that they are running on a posix file system. With this extension, HDFS can be used like a block store. For example, YARN jobs could mount and use a volume at will. This is made possible by leveraging Storage Containers and will share the storage layer with Ozone and HDFS in future. Please see the attached design document for more details on this proposal. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
