JNI (or > equivalent) calling an ioctl seems like the most appropriate tool. Not to continually dog on JNI, but I'd like to point out another downside, and that is portability. Using JNI to connect to the IOCTL requires that the JNI-based Java code be build on all platforms. As a result, each per-node deployment of Hadoop must ensure it's version of the JNI connector was built for that particular architecture. I'm wondering how this will affect Hadoop over Ceph in terms of a sales pitch, given that it could require a configuration headache for large-scale deployments.
