If so, GFS, is also suitable only for large, offline, batch computations ?
I wonder how Google is going to use GFS for writely or their online
spreadsheet or their  BigTable (their gigantic relational DB).

DFS is currently primarily used to support large, offline, batch 
computations.  For example, a log of critical data with tight 
transactional requirements is probably an inappropriate use of DFS at 
this time.  Again, this may change, but that's where we are now.
