Hadoop Distributed File System is a distributed file system that handles large data sets running on commodity hardware (Ishengoma, 2013). It is used to scale a single Apache Hadoop cluster to hundreds (and even thousands) of nodes. HDFS is one of the major components of Apache Hadoop, the others being MapReduce and YARN.
