I think file system is more universally used. However, one can build an FS on top of a good object storage - just need to provide some metadata abstraction/concept.
Replacing HDFS w/ Gluster doesn't make much sense to me (if ever be considered). What I like about Ceph is that it is native to Linux, unlike all other artificial HCFS contraptions. Hence my initial question. Cos On Thu, Jul 09, 2015 at 01:53AM, Dmitriy Setrakyan wrote: > Hm...
