Question
Explain the difference between NAS and HDFS.
Answers
NAS runs on a single machine and thus there is no probability of data redundancy whereas HDFS runs on a cluster of different machines thus there is data redundancy because of the replication protocol.
NAS stores data on a dedicated hardware whereas in HDFS all the data blocks are distributed across local drives of the machines.
In NAS data is stored independent of the computation and hence Hadoop MapReduce cannot be used for processing whereas HDFS works with Hadoop MapReduce as the computations in HDFS are moved to data.   Your Comment
