What do you think about HDFS using GFS2 (shared disk file system) or GPFS (parallel filesystem) rather than local file system?

[Daegyu Han]

Hi all,

As far as I know, HDFS is designed to target local file systems like ext4
or xfs.

Is it a bad approach to use SAN technology as storage for HDFS?

Thank you,
