Looks like a joke. HDFS is not an FS you WANT or CAN use for VM
filesystems.
Its architecture is completely different from what POSIX-compliant OS wants
to keep QCOW2 images (or even RAW images).
If you want fault-tolerant FS, use Ceph or Gluster or even NFS over DRBD.
NFS is a stateless protocol,
IS HDFS still a thing? :)
I thought those things were horrible and slow.
Anyway, you can in theory use it via a "shared mount point" type of
primary storage. I hope you are on KVM or XCP-ng.
Why not look at more modern stuff such as CEPH or at least Glusterfs?
