About this document
HDFS Overview and Key Features by Anusha Gupta is a document available to read on EtoBox.
HDFS is a distributed file system designed to store very large data sets across commodity hardware. It works on the principles of scaling out by adding more nodes rather than scaling up to more powerful hardware. HDFS uses a master-slave architecture with a NameNode that manages file system metadata and DataNodes that store and retrieve file data blocks.
