GFS

Google File System

Arch:

1.A GFS consists of a single master and multiple
chunkservers. Each of these is a commodity Linux machine running a
user-level server process.

2.Files are divided into fixed-size chunks. Each chunk is is
identified by an immutable and globally unique 64 bit chunk handle
assigned by the master at the time of chunk creation.
