Abstract:

Hadoop distributed file system(HDFS)is inspired by the Google file system paper.It gets great attention and is applied widely.In this paper,from a theoretical perspective of system design,we study user requirements and modeling method of distributed file system,and create a model for analyzing the architecture characteristics of HDFS.Through the comparison of HDFS and traditional distributed file system,several advantages of HDFS(e.g.high scalability and high availability)are identified.This paper is helpful to research the design principles of HDFS more deeply,and provides some advices for design and implementation of Cloud Computing-oriented distributed file system.

Key words: hadoop distributed file system, system modeling, cloud computing
