Rick Kazman commented on HDFS-1961: ----------------------------------- Matt I just uploaded a version of your commented Word document with my changes and comments. Please take a look, if you have a chance. I also moved all of these changes over to the HTML version at http://kazman.shidler.hawaii.edu/ArchDoc.html so, for now, everything is in synch. I think that your suggestion of using the Wiki going forward makes sense. It seems like the right place for documentation and, as you say, allows for some version control and commenting. I will look into this over the weekend. > New architectural documentation created > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1961 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1961 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 0.21.0 > Reporter: Rick Kazman > Assignee: Rick Kazman > Labels: architecture, hadoop, newbie > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: HDFS ArchDoc.Jira.docx, > HDFS-1961_ArchDoc.comments.RK.052011.docx, HDFS-1961_ArchDoc.comments.docx > > > This material provides an overview of the HDFS architecture and is intended > for contributors.
