Mukund Thakur updated HDFS-15289: --------------------------------- Target Version/s: 3.3.9 (was: 3.4.0, 3.3.5, 3.2.5) > Allow viewfs mounts with HDFS/HCFS scheme and centralized mount table > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-15289 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15289 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 3.2.0 > Reporter: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Priority: Major > Attachments: ViewFSOverloadScheme - V1.0.pdf, ViewFSOverloadScheme.png > > > ViewFS provides flexibility to mount different filesystem types with mount > points configuration table. This approach is solving the scalability > problems, but users need to reconfigure the filesystem to ViewFS and to its > scheme. This will be problematic in the case of paths persisted in meta > stores, ex: Hive. In systems like Hive, it will store uris in meta store. So, > changing the file system scheme will create a burden to upgrade/recreate meta > stores. In our experience many users are not ready to change that. > Router based federation is another implementation to provide coordinated > mount points for HDFS federation clusters. Even though this provides > flexibility to handle mount points easily, this will not allow > other(non-HDFS) file systems to mount. So, this does not solve the purpose > when users want to mount external(non-HDFS) filesystems. > So, the problem here is: Even though many users want to adapt to the scalable > fs options available, technical challenges of changing schemes (ex: in meta > stores) in deployments are obstructing them. > So, we propose to allow hdfs scheme in ViewFS like client side mount system > and provision user to create mount links without changing URI paths. > I will upload detailed design doc shortly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
