Cloud computing is pervasive in our daily life. For instance, I usually use Google¡¦s GMail to receive e-mail, Google Document to edit documents online and Google Calendar to make my daily schedule. We can say that Google provides a ¡§Platform as a Service (PaaS)¡¨, which delivers a computing platform as a service, and the platform sustaining lots of cloud applications such as I mentioned above.
However, the cloud computing platform of Google is private: we cannot trace its source code and make cloud applications on it! Fortunately, there¡¦s an open source project supported by Apache named ¡§Hadoop¡¨, which has a distributed file system which is very like Google File System (GFS) called ¡§Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS)¡¨. In order to observe the properties of HDFS, we design and implement a HDFS-based FTP server system called FTP-ON-HDFS system, say, a FTP server whose storage is HDFS. There are a web-console for FTP administrator, a FreeRADIUS server and a MySQL database for user authentication, a NameNode daemon on its machine, a SecondaryNameNode on its machine and five DataNode daemons and on five different machines in FTP-ON-HDFS system. Our FTP-ON-HDFS system can tune two QoS parameters: ¡§data block size¡¨ and ¡§data replication¡¨. Then, we tuned ¡§data block size¡¨ and ¡§data replication¡¨ in our system and compared its performance with Hadoop File System (FS) shell command and normal vsftpd.
On the other hand, FUSE can mount HDFS from remote cluster to local machine, and make use of the permission of the local machine to manage HDFS. So, we compared the performance of FUSE with HDFS (FUSE-DFS) and our FTP-ON-HDFS system.
