Tachyon is a memory-centric distributed storage system enabling reliable data sharing at memory-speed across cluster frameworks, such as Spark and MapReduce. It achieves high performance by leveraging lineage information and using memory aggressively. Tachyon caches working set files in memory, thereby avoiding going to disk to load datasets that are frequently read. This enables different jobs/queries and frameworks to access cached files at memory speed. Tachyon is Hadoop compatible. The proj... ect is open source (Apache License 2.0) and is deployed at multiple companies. It has more than 80 contributors from over 30 institutions, including Yahoo, Intel, Red Hat, and Tachyon Nexus. The project is the storage layer of the Berkeley Data Analytics Stack (BDAS) and also part of the Fedora distribution.More
