Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)
Abstract
Hadoop Distributed File System, which is popularly known as HDFS, is a Java-based distributed file system running on commodity machines. HDFS is basically meant for storing Big Data over distributed commodity machines and getting the work done at a faster rate due to the processing of data in a distributed manner. Basically, HDFS has one name node (master node) and cluster of data nodes (slave nodes). The HDFS files are divided into blocks. The block is the minimum amount of data (64 MB) that can be read or written. The functions of the name node are to master the slave nodes, to maintain the file system, to control client access, and to have control of the replications. To ensure the availability of the name node, a standby name node is deployed by failover control and fencing is done to avoid the activation of the primary name node during failover. The functions of the data nodes are to store the data, serve the read and write requests, replicate the blocks, maintain the liveness of the node, ensure the storage policy, and maintain the block cache size. Also, it ensures the availability of data.
