Description
The OpenStack Shared File Systems project (Manila) provides basic provisioning and management of file shares to users and services in an OpenStack cloud. The OpenStack Data Processing project (Sahara) provides a framework for exposing big data services, such as Spark and Hadoop, within an OpenStack cloud. Natural synergy and popular demand led the two project teams to develop a joint solution that exposes Manila file shares within the Sahara construct to solve real-world big data challenges. This contribution examines common workflows for how a Sahara user can access big data that resides in Hadoop, Swift, and Manila NFS shares. It also demonstrates how you can replicate Manila fileshares on-prem (in your private OpenStack cloud) to public clouds (such as AWS, or Azure),
