In this 10-minute episode, we explore the Google File System (GFS), a scalable, fault-tolerant distributed file system designed for Google’s vast data needs. Built on commodity hardware, GFS ensures high performance for many clients. We’ll cover key design principles like handling frequent component failures, large file operations, and atomic appends. We’ll also dive into its architecture—featuring a master server for metadata management and chunkservers for storage—along with data handling, fault tolerance, and real-world performance benchmarks.
