I'm not quite sure how it happened, and the CephFS/Hadoop interfaces are not really maintained at this point. :( It seems like it ought to be a good fit but usage has always been too low to justify maintaining it since we aren't Hadoop experts ourselves and they made clear they were trying to prune rather than add new FS implementations in-tree. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the usage being pushed by support companies and the users I know if is through RGW and the S3A adapter (or I think maybe there's a newer one now?). -Greg > > Is anyone serving HBase out of Ceph - how does the stadck and > configuration look?
