Analyzing Google file system and Hadoop distributed file system

Abstract

A comparative analysis study between Google file system and Hadoop distributed file system was conducted in this study. Using comarision techniques for architecture and development of GFS and HDFS, allows us use to deduce that both GFS and HDFS are considered two of the most used distributed file systems for dealing with huge clusters where big data lives. This study will help understand the architecture and highlight the common features and differences between GFS and HDFS.
