[jira] [Created] (HDFS-13074) Ozone File System
Jitendra Nath Pandey created HDFS-13074:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: Ozone File System
Key: HDFS-13074
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13074
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: hdfs
Reporter: Jitendra Nath Pandey
Assignee: Jitendra Nath Pandey
This jira splits out the Ozone's Key Value namespace out of HDFS-7240, leaving that jira to focus on the block layer Hadoop Distributed Storage Layer (HDSL). HDFS-10419 focuses on the traditional hierarchical namespace/NN on top of HDFS while this jira focuses on a flat Key-Value namespace call ed Ozone FS on top HDSL.
[~owen.omalley] suggested the split in HDFS-7240 in this comment.
Ozone provides two APIs:
* A KV API
* A Hadoop compatible FS (Haddop FileSystem and Hadoop FileContext), on top of KV API.
Ozone FS serves the following purpose
* It helps test the new storage layer (HDSL)
* It can be directly used by applications (such. Hive, Spark) that are ready for cloud's native storage systems that use a KV namespace such as S3, Azure ADLS.
Ozone's namespace server scales well because of following reasons:
* It keeps only the working set of metadata in memory - this scales the Key-Value namespace.
* Ozone does not need to keep the equivalent of the block-map; instead the corresponding container-to-location mapping resides in in the SCM - this leaves additional free space for caching the metadata. This benefit is also available to NN that adapts to the new block-storage container layer as explained in Evolving NN using new block container layer attached in HDFS-10419.
* It does not have a single global lock - this will scale well against a large number of concurrent clients/rpcs.
* It can be partitioned/sharded much more easily because it is a flat namespace. Indeed a natural partitioning level is the bucket. Partitioning would further scale the number of clients/rpcs and also the Key-value namespace.
