Abstract

Over the last few decades, both the volume of digital data in the globe and the variety of ways to use it have increased dramatically. For a long time, the Hadoop ecosystem, which is still widely utilized, has been synonymous with large data storage and processing platforms. However, during the past 20 years, Hadoop has been found to have a number of serious flaws, including the “small files problem” and uneven cluster resource usage. Various commercial and research organizations are faced with the issue of upgrading the data stack to improve resource utilization and increasing data processing efficiency. This study aims to examine the benefits and drawbacks of the next-generation data storage system, Apache Ozone, and to assess whether this technology is ready to completely supplant the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
