-----------------------------------
Summary: Block Storage for HDFS
Key: HDFS-11118
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11118
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: hdfs
Reporter: Anu Engineer
Assignee: Anu Engineer
This JIRA proposes extending HDFS to provide replicated block storage
capabilities using Storage Containers. This is would allow users to run
unmodified programs that assume that they are running on a posix file system.
With this extension, HDFS can be used like a block store. For example, YARN
jobs could mount and use a volume at will. This is made possible by leveraging
Storage Containers and will share the storage layer with Ozone and HDFS in
future.
Please see the attached design document for more details on this proposal.
