CIFS is a file system, that doesn't scale particularly well, nor does it support parallelisation of programs very well.
HDFS isn't quite a file system. At least not in the sense of something that does all the things that you expect a file system to do (CRUD operations, access control, meta-data). On the other hand, it does support one particularly parallel execution model very nicely.
