KFS 0.1 released
High Scalability Blog and Rich Skrenta both point to the 0.1 release of KFS - a file system optimized for applications working with large amounts of data.
The data is divided into chunks which are stored on chunk servers. KFS takes care of replicating those chunks and balancing them among the available servers. Adding new machines supposedly re-balances your storage architecture. According to the official Kosmix blog, KFS can be used as a storage system for Hadoop and zVents’ HyperTable. Ethan Stock of zVents talks about the importance of the release.
