Hadooop

Hadoop is an open-source data processing framework that includes a scalable, fault-tolerant distributed file system, HDFS. Although HDFS was designed to work in conjunction with Hadoop's job scheduler, the US Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment has re-purposed it to serve as a grid storage element by adding GridFTP and SRM servers. A full review of the capability and operational stability was performed for the collaboration. HDFS is now installed at six sites on OSG; five are a data storage solution for CMS at the LHC, and one is a test site for LIGO at Caltech. Hadoop is being prepared for inclusion in the Virtual Data Toolkit (VDT). Apache hadoop, 2009, More information.
