CARTILAGE: Adding Flexibility to the Hadoop Skeleton

Summary: CARTILAGE: a storage framework on HDFS offering fine-grained partitioning, replication, layouts, and placement. Layered atop existing HDFS, CARTILAGE avoids core changes and lets Hadoop and other engines adopt it with diverse use-cases. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
