The Google File System

by Sanjay Ghemawat, Howard Gobioff, Shun-tak Leung - ACM SIGOPS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW , 2003
"... We have designed and implemented the Google File System, a scalable distributed file system for large distributed data-intensive applications. It provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware, and it delivers high aggregate performance to a large number of clients. While s ..."

Serverless Network File Systems

by Thomas E. Anderson, Michael D. Dahlin, Jeanna M. Neefe, David A. Patterson, Drew S. Roselli, Randolph Y. Wang - ACM TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTER SYSTEMS , 1995
"... In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for network file system design, serverless network file systems. While traditional network file systems rely on a central server machine, a serverless system utilizes workstations cooperating as peers to provide all file system services. Any machine in the sy ..."

A Fast File System for UNIX

by Marshall Kirk Mckusick, William N. Joy, Samuel J. Leffler, Robert S. Fabry - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1984
"... A reimplementation of the UNIX file system is described. The reimplementation provides substantially higher throughput rates by using more flexible allocation policies that allow better locality of reference and can be adapted to a wide range of peripheral and processor characteristics. The new file ..."

Disconnected Operation in the Coda File System

by James J. Kistler, M. Satyanarayanan - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1992
"... Disconnected operation is a mode of operation that enables a client to continue accessing critical data during temporary failures of a shared data repository. An important, though not exclusive, application of disconnected operation is in supporting portable computers. In this paper, we show that di ..."

that disconnected operation is feasible, efficient and usable by describing its design and implementation in the Coda File System. The central idea behind our work is that caching of data, now widely used for performance, can also be exploited to improve availability.

The Design and Implementation of a Log-Structured File System

by Mendel Rosenblum, John K. Ousterhout - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1992
"... This paper presents a new technique for disk storage management called a log-structured file system. A logstructured file system writes all modifications to disk sequentially in a log-like structure, thereby speeding up both file writing and crash recovery. The log is the only structure on disk; it ..."

Scale and performance in a distributed file system

by John H. Howard, Michael L. Kazar, Sherri G. Menees, A. Nichols, M. Satyanarayanan, Robert N. Sidebotham, Michael J. West - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1988
"... The Andrew File System is a location-transparent distributed tile system that will eventually span more than 5000 workstations at Carnegie Mellon University. Large scale affects performance and complicates system operation. In this paper we present observations of a prototype implementation, motivat ..."

The Hadoop Distributed File System

by Konstantin Shvachko, Hairong Kuang, Sanjay Radia, Robert Chansler
"... Abstract—The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is designed to store very large data sets reliably, and to stream those data sets at high bandwidth to user applications. In a large cluster, thousands of servers both host directly attached storage and execute user application tasks. By distributin ..."

Coda: A Highly Available File System for a Distributed Workstation Environment

by Mahadev Satyanarayanan, James J. Kistler, Puneet Kumar, Maria E. Okasaki, Ellen H. Siegel, David C. Steere - IN IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS , 1990
"... Coda is a file system for a large-scale distributed computing environment composed of Unix workstations. It provides resiliency to server and network failures through the use of two distinct but complementary mechanisms. One mechanism, server replication,stores copies of a file at multiple servers ..."
