-------------------------------------
{quote}"Hadoop filesystem interface" is an ideal choice{quote}
Not sure I would go so far as an "ideal choice" - it definitely brings in a lot
of dependencies sadly. The nice part is that it has implementations for local,
hdfs, s3, adls, and gcp at least. So you get multi cloud for free. What I do
not know is how efficient each of those implementations are - especially the
"local" one for file:// type paths.
Just wanted to point out the Hadoop filesystem connector stuff is separate from
the full running of HDFS. Here are a few references:

> This proposal is a way to accomplish shared storage in SolrCloud with a few
> key characteristics: (A) using a Directory implementation, (B) delegates to a
> backing local file Directory as a kind of read/write cache (C) replicas have
> their own "space", (D) , de-duplication across replicas via reference
> counting, (E) uses ZK but separately from SolrCloud stuff.
> The Directory abstraction is a good one, and helps isolate shared storage
> from the rest of SolrCloud that doesn't care. Using a backing normal file
> Directory is faster for reads and is simpler than Solr's HDFSDirectory's
> BlockCache. Replicas having their own space solves the problem of multiple
> writers (e.g. of the same shard) trying to own and write to the same space,
> and it implies that any of Solr's replica types can be used along with what
> goes along with them like peer-to-peer replication (sometimes faster/cheaper
> than pulling from shared storage). A de-duplication feature solves needless
> duplication of files across replicas and from parent shards (i.e. from shard
> splitting). The de-duplication feature requires a place to cache directory
> listings so that they can be shared across replicas and atomically updated;
> this is handled via ZooKeeper. Finally, some sort of Solr daemon /
> auto-scaling code should be added to implement "autoAddReplicas", especially
> to provide for a scenario where the leader is gone and can't be replicated
> from directly but we can access shared storage.
> For more about shared storage concepts, consider looking at the description
> in SOLR-13101 and the linked Google Doc.
