Is HDFS derived from GFS?
MapReduce: MapReduce is a programming model developed by Google and used by both GFS and HDFS. Based on Google MapReduce white paper, Apache adopted and developed its own MapReduce model with some minor differences. MapReduce is a programming model Google has used successfully to process big data.
Is HDFS a NFS?
NFS (Network File system): A protocol developed that allows clients to access files over the network. HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System): A file system that is distributed amongst many networked computers or nodes.
How HDFS is different from normal file system?
Normal file systems have small block size of data. (Around 512 bytes) while HDFS has larger block sizes at around 64 MB) Multiple disks seek for larger files in normal file systems while in HDFS, data is read sequentially after every individual seek.

What are the 2 major parts of HDFS?
HDFS (storage) and YARN (processing) are the two core components of Apache Hadoop.
What is GFS & HDFS?
GFS & HDFS Distributed file systems manage the storage across a network of machines. •GFS •Implemented especially for meeting the rapidly growing demands of Google’s data processing needs. •The Google File System, Sanjay Ghemawat, Howard Gobioff, and Shun-Tak Leung, SOSP’03
What is HDFS in Hadoop?
•HDFS is Hadoop’s flagship file system. •Implemented for the purpose of running Hadoop’s MapReduce applications. •Based on work done by Google in the early 2000s •The Hadoop Distributed File System, Konstantin Shvachko, Hairong Kuang, Sanjay Radia, Robert Chansler, IEEE2010
What is the difference between HDFS and yarn?
Both HDFS and YARN are the component of Hadoop ecosystem but both function differently from each other. Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS): the storage system for Hadoop spread out over multiple machines as a means to reduce cost and increase reliability. HDFS transfers data very rapid to MapReduce.
What is the size of a large file in HDFS?
Large file is broken down into small blocks of data. HDFS has a default block size of 128 MB which can be increased as per requirement. Multiple copies of each block are stored in the cluster in a distributed manner on different nodes. HDFS is the storage unit of Hadoop that is used to store and process huge volumes of data on multiple datanodes.
