I saw an article yesterday saying the GlusterFS 3.3 now has Hadoop bindings. I also ran across XtreemFS a while back, which also supports Hadoop bindings. Both of them claim to be faster and more scalable than HDFS.
Has anyone in the community done some actual benchmarks on the same hardware for some HDFS replacements? I would love to see how true their claims are and what we need to do to beat them. http://www.infostor.com/storage-management/gluster-goes-after-hadoop-big-dat a.html http://www.gluster.org/ http://www.xtreemfs.org/ --Bobby Evans
