Hello Sir, I am doing mtech in iiit hyderabad , I am doing research project whose aim is to develop the scalable storage system For esagu. The esagu is all about taking the crop images from the fields and store it in the filesystem and then those images would be accessed by agricultural scientist to detect the problem, So currently many fields in the A.P. are using this system,it may go beyond A.Pso we require storage system
1)My problem is we are using hadoop for the storage, but hadoop retrieves (reads/writes) in 64 mb chunk . these images stored would be very small size say max 2 to 3 mb, So access time would be larger in case of accessing images, Can you suggest how this access time can be reduced.Is there anyother thing we could do to improve the performance like building our own cache, To what extent it would be feasible or helpful in such kind of application. 2)Second is does hadoop would be useful for small small data like this, if not what tricks we could do to make it usable for such knid of application Please help, Thanks in advance Regards, Snehal Nagmote IIIT Hyderabad
