Ozone File System	2017-09-14	main	main parent Client

There are many Hadoop compatible files systems under Hadoop. Hadoop compatible file systems ensures that storage backends like Ozone can easily be integrated into Hadoop eco-system.

Setting up the Ozone file system

To create an ozone file system, we have to choose a bucket where the file system would live. This bucket will be used as the backend store for OzoneFileSystem. All the files and directories will be stored as keys in this bucket.

Please run the following commands to create a volume and bucket, if you don't have them already.

{{< highlight bash >}} ozone sh volume create /volume ozone sh bucket create /volume/bucket {{< /highlight >}}

Once this is created, please make sure that bucket exists via the listVolume or listBucket commands.

Please add the following entry to the core-site.xml.

{{< highlight xml >}} fs.o3fs.impl org.apache.hadoop.fs.ozone.OzoneFileSystem fs.defaultFS o3fs://bucket.volume {{< /highlight >}}

This will make this bucket to be the default file system for HDFS dfs commands and register the o3fs file system type..

You also need to add the ozone-filesystem.jar file to the classpath:

{{< highlight bash >}} export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=/opt/ozone/share/ozonefs/lib/hadoop-ozone-filesystem-lib-current.*.jar:$HADOOP_CLASSPATH {{< /highlight >}}

Once the default Filesystem has been setup, users can run commands like ls, put, mkdir, etc. For example,

{{< highlight bash >}} hdfs dfs -ls / {{< /highlight >}}

or

{{< highlight bash >}} hdfs dfs -mkdir /users {{< /highlight >}}

Or put command etc. In other words, all programs like Hive, Spark, and Distcp will work against this file system. Please note that any keys created/deleted in the bucket using methods apart from OzoneFileSystem will show up as diectories and files in the Ozone File System.

Legacy mode

There are two ozonefs files which includes all the dependencies:

• share/ozone/lib/hadoop-ozone-filesystem-lib-current-VERSION.jar
• share/ozone/lib/hadoop-ozone-filesystem-lib-legacy-VERSION.jar

The first one contains all the required dependency to use ozonefs with a compatible hadoop version (hadoop 3.2 / 3.1).

The second one contains all the dependency in an internal, separated directory, and a special class loader is used to load all the classes from the location.

With this method the hadoop-ozone-filesystem-lib-legacy.jar can be used from any older hadoop version (eg. hadoop 2.7 or spark+hadoop 2.7)
