Description: Applications that process large volumes of data (such as, search engines, grid computing applications, data mining applications, etc.) require a backend infrastructure for storing data. Such infrastructure is required to support applications whose workload could be characterized as:
Primarily write-once/read-many workloads
Few millions of large files, where each file is on the order of a few tens of MB to a few tens of GB in size
Mostly sequential access
We have developed the Kosmos Distributed File System (KFS), a high performance distributed file system to meet this infrastructure need.
File list (Check if you may need any files):
