Hello, CFS is a DataStax proprietary implementation of the Hadoop File System interface/abstract base class, sorry don't remember which of the top of my head. You could create your own implementation if you do not want to use DataStax's CFS. Or you could purchase DataStax Enterprise.
Hope this provides clarity for you.
