The best way would be to chunk your binary blobs into 1/2MB chunks. You could store
Key (md5 of entire blob) => part1, part2, part3 etc BytesType Validation Then if you want the entire image just grab the key (md5)..obviously you'll need a index somewhere with a filename => md5 Best, Michael From: Kanwar Sangha <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Monday, March 4, 2013 11:34 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Storage question Hi – Can someone suggest the optimal way to store files / images ? We are planning to use cassandra for meta-data for these files. HDFS is not good for small file size .. can we look at something else ?
