Another correction about the terminology needs to be made. i said 1gb = 1 million blocks. Pay attention to term block. it is not file. A file may contain more than one block. Default block size 64mb so 640 mb file will hold 10 blocks. Each file has its name ,permissions, path, creation date and etc. These metadata is held in memory for all files but not blocks. So it is good to have files with many blocks.
So by the terms of file count, the worst case scenerio is each file only contained in one block. Resulting my 1gb = 1million files. Typically files have many blocks and this count may increase. 5 Haz 2016 17:33 tarihinde "Hayati Gonultas" <[email protected]> yazdı: > it is written 128 000 000 million in my previous post. it was incorrect > (million million) > > what i mean is 128 million. > > 1gb raughly 1 million. > 5 Haz 2016 16:58 tarihinde "Ascot Moss" <[email protected]> yazdı: > >> HDFS2 "Limit to 50-200 million files", is it really true like what MapR >> says? >> >> On Sun, Jun 5, 2016 at 7:55 PM, Hayati Gonultas < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> I forgot to mention about file system limit. >>> >>> Yes HDFS has limit, because for the performance considirations HDFS >>> filesystem is read from disk to RAM and rest of the work is done with RAM. >>> So RAM should be big enough to fit the filesystem image.
