Baidu File System – A distributed file system for real-time applications

awesome

Looking through the code it supports fuse, but the documentation in ENG is sparse. It also looks to underpin Tera: the Baidu distributed DB.

I think a low read/write latency dfs suitable for real time applications would be a game changer. I'm hoping they up the documentation from here and engage the English speaking community.

i wanted to write awesome too, so i'll be more detailed :)

Seems (have not tried it yet) awesome because: - another big party offering such software, the more choices the merrier for the users/sysadmins - sandboxed - scalable to 10k nodes - no single point failure - ssd and traditional disk usage via the disk manager
