FUSE
Filesystem in Userspace
(FUSE) allows filesystems that are implemented in user space to
be integrated as Unix filesystems. Hadoop's Fuse-DFS contrib module allows HDFS (or
any Hadoop filesystem) to be mounted as a standard local filesystem. Fuse-DFS is imple-
mented in C using
libhdfs
as the interface to HDFS. At the time of writing, the Hadoop
NFS gateway is the more robust solution to mounting HDFS, so should be preferred over
Fuse-DFS.
