Kosmos File System (KFS) and HBase

[Krzysztof Szlapinski <kr...@starline.hk>]

It's been asked before but with no answer.
Has anyone tried running HBase on Kosmos File System with a success?
Is it compatible with hbase 0.2.0?

We've run some tests and it's seems that hadoop is the main "Resurce 
Devourer" on our system ;)
That's why we're looking for an alternative

HBase shouldn't care what the actual implementation of the HDFS 
FileSystem interface is.  We know it works against local and DFS.  Its 
even been tried up on S3 (Check this lists Archive).  My guess is that 
it will probably just work running against KFS.

Do you think it will make that much difference?  Chatting w/ Sriram, 
IIRC, he thought that there might be a 30% improvement doing streaming 
read/writes.  Random reading, he didn't really have a good number though 
he thought it should perform better.

If you go this route, please let the list know how it went.

Good on you Krzysztof,
St.Ack
