The Quantcast File System

Summary: QFS is a C++-based, Hadoop-compatible file system with erasure coding (≈50% less disk) and doubled write throughput. It adds a faster name node, concurrent append for sorting/logging, a native CLI, and global feedback-directed I/O; open source, distcp-compatible with HDFS, in production since 2011.
