Another new storage type *RAM\_DISK* is added for supporting writing single replica files in memory.

A new concept of storage policies is introduced in order to allow files to be stored in different storage types according to the storage policy.
@ -47,6 +47,7 @@ We have the following storage policies:
* **All\_SSD** - for storing all replicas in SSD.
* **One\_SSD** - for storing one of the replicas in SSD. The remaining replicas are stored in DISK.
* **Lazy\_Persist** - for writing blocks with single replica in memory. The replica is first written in RAM\_DISK and then it is lazily persisted in DISK.
* **Provided** - for storing data outside HDFS. See also [HDFS Provided Storage](./HdfsProvidedStorage.html).
More formally, a storage policy consists of the following fields:

| 7 | Hot (default) | DISK: *n* | \<none\> | ARCHIVE |
| 5 | Warm | DISK: 1, ARCHIVE: *n*-1 | ARCHIVE, DISK | ARCHIVE, DISK |
| 2 | Cold | ARCHIVE: *n* | \<none\> | \<none\> |
| 1 | Provided | PROVIDED: 1, DISK: *n*-1 | PROVIDED, DISK | PROVIDED, DISK |
Note 1: The Lazy\_Persist policy is useful only for single replica blocks. For blocks with more than one replicas, all the replicas will be written to DISK since writing only one of the replicas to RAM\_DISK does not improve the overall performance.
