Application of Hadoop Distributed File System in Digital Libraries
Authors : Kaladhar Arnepalli & K. Somasekhara Rao
Generally we access data in digital libraries through client – server architecture. The maintenance charges of these servers and infrastructure required more amount to invest. Limited amount of data only can be stored in the server the amount of data increases replacement of server is also required. All these constraints can be overcome by using a distributed database system. In this paper, I have chosen Hadoop distributed file system to organize digital library operations. Hadoop is a an open-source software framework for distributed storage and distributed processing of very large data sets on computer clusters built from commodity hardware. It is well known for its flexibility, fault tolerance, scalability and parallel computation.
