Pangea: Monolithic Distributed Storage for Data Analytics

Summary: Pangea unifies persistent, cached, and intermediate analytics data in one monolithic distributed storage system, eliminating HDFS/Alluxio/compute layering. Integrated placement, buffering, and recovery deliver performance competitive with layered Spark-based stacks. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
