Some hints: 1) For features, you could start with unit tests available with hadoop fs. For performance, compare various bench results.
3) I could see at least 2 reasons for that. It could be that your filesystem does not support locality, so tasks are not executed on the same node as the data. Lot of stuff are done under the hood, maybe your fs has some lack for a very specific use case. You should choose your benchmarks very carefully to make sure they actually test what you want to test (i.e. not cpu) Julien 2013/2/21 Ling Kun <erlv5...@gmail.com> > Dear all, > I am currently look into some other filesystem implementation, like > lustre, gluster, or other NAS with POSIX support, and trying to replace > HDFS with it. > > I have implement a filesystem class( AFS) which will provide > interface to Hadoop MapReduce, like the one of RawLocalFileSystem, and > examples like wordcount, terasort works well. > > However, I am not sure whether my implementation is correct for all the > MapReduce applications that Hadoop MapReduce+Hadoop HDFS can run. > > My question is : > 1.
