A client for the Kosmos filesystem (KFS)

Introduction

This pages describes how to use Kosmos Filesystem ( KFS ) as a backing store with Hadoop. This page assumes that you have downloaded the KFS software and installed necessary binaries as outlined in the KFS documentation.

Steps

• In the Hadoop conf directory edit core-site.xml, add the following:

  <property>
    <name>fs.kfs.impl</name>
    <value>org.apache.hadoop.fs.kfs.KosmosFileSystem</value>
    <description>The FileSystem for kfs: uris.</description>
  </property>
              

• In the Hadoop conf directory edit core-site.xml, adding the following (with appropriate values for <server> and <port>):

  <property>
    <name>fs.default.name</name>
    <value>kfs://<server:port></value> 
  </property>
  
  <property>
    <name>fs.kfs.metaServerHost</name>
    <value><server></value>
    <description>The location of the KFS meta server.</description>
  </property>
  
  <property>
    <name>fs.kfs.metaServerPort</name>
    <value><port></value>
    <description>The location of the meta server's port.</description>
  </property>
  
  

• Copy KFS's kfs-0.1.jar to Hadoop's lib directory. This step enables Hadoop's to load the KFS specific modules. Note that, kfs-0.1.jar was built when you compiled KFS source code. This jar file contains code that calls KFS's client library code via JNI; the native code is in KFS's libkfsClient.so library.
• When the Hadoop map/reduce trackers start up, those processes (on local as well as remote nodes) will now need to load KFS's libkfsClient.so library. To simplify this process, it is advisable to store libkfsClient.so in an NFS accessible directory (similar to where Hadoop binaries/scripts are stored); then, modify Hadoop's conf/hadoop-env.sh adding the following line and providing suitable value for <path>:

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path>
  

• Start only the map/reduce trackers
  example: execute Hadoop's bin/start-mapred.sh

If the map/reduce job trackers start up, all file-I/O is done to KFS.
