  • DECENTRALIZING A HADOOP CLUSTER
    Publication number: 20170177616
    Abstract: In some examples, a distributed file system is described. The distributed file system may include multiple data nodes and a director unit. The multiple data nodes may each include one or more data blocks. The director unit may include multiple master nodes configured in a peer-to-peer distributed architecture and operably coupled to the multiple data nodes. Each of the master nodes may be configured to receive a task related to managing data with respect to the distributed file system; to manage a distribution of the task among one or more of the plurality of master nodes; and to communicate a task status and a status of at least a part of the distributed file system to each of the other master nodes.

  • VIRTUAL SHARED STORAGE DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160021187
    Abstract: In a cluster computing environment, multiple computing devices may be configured to share same storage devices to perform different portions of one or more computing tasks. The storage devices may be communicatively coupled to the computing devices via a network so that each of the multiple computing devices may retrieve data from or write data to the shard storage devices.
