Mike McWhorter, Senior Technologist, DCS Field Applications Engineering, reviews the use case of using their ActiveScale object storage with Hadoop. Using the new S3A feature in Hadoop, you can connect S3-compatible object store in Hadoop as a second tier of storage. This is a response to the disk use of Hadoop’s HDFS, which triple replicates already massive datasets. ActiveScale can serve as the cold storage tier for Hadoop data.
