CloudStore vs. HDFS

Question

Does anyone have any familiarity with working with both CloudStore and HDFS. I am interested to see how far CloudStore has been scaled and how heavily it has been used in production. CloudStore seems to be more full featured than HDFS. When thinking about these two filesystems what practical trade offs are there?

Answer 1

Steve, It seems that CloudStore should be faster than the HDFS as it's designed in C++. We are also interested in this Comparision and planning to use this in production.

Let us know if you find anything interesting in this regards.

Answer 2

CloudStore (or KFS) is now Quantcast File System (or QFS). The project currently resides at https://github.com/quantcast/qfs, and has a comparison with HDFS page you can take a look at.
