What wonders me the most, is when they change titles. 1 chinese character sometimes matches 1 english word

Eg. lylei changed the title from "cs启动太慢" to "cs start is too slow " ( on https://github.com/baidu/bfs/issues/376 )

lylei changed the title from "其他SDK写策略" to "SDK writing strategies(fan-out write for example)" (on https://github.com/baidu/bfs/issues/243 )

More like a C++ clone of HDFS than most people are likely hoping. While you seem to be able to mount it with FUSE I imagine it's primarily meant to be programmed against directly.

Using Raft over a dependency on an external consensus system is nice. Definitely makes the namenode architecture much better.

What's the difference then between this and MapR, besides a similar CLDB pattern? (No single point of failure)
