PowerScale OneFS Supportability and Compatibility Guide

HDFS (Hadoop)

OneFS supports many distributions of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).

Hadoop is an open-source software project that enables distributed processing of large datasets across clusters of servers. Hadoop is for situations where you want to quickly and cost-effectively run analytics that are deep and computationally extensive. Hadoop distributions are updated independently of OneFS and on their own schedules. For the latest information about Hadoop distributions that OneFS supports, see Hadoop Distributions and Products Supported by OneFS on the Hadoop Information Hub.
