Apache Ozone is a scalable distributed object store built for large-scale analytics, cloud-native platforms, and data-intensive environments.
It’s designed to handle very large numbers of objects and large storage clusters, while exposing interfaces that fit both object storage and Hadoop ecosystem workflows. The project separates metadata and storage services so clusters can grow incrementally, and it includes features for strong consistency, durability, and secure multi-user deployments.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports S3-compatible object storage access.
- Provides a Hadoop-compatible file system interface for integration with tools such as Spark, Hive, Flink, and MapReduce.
- Uses separate management and storage components to support horizontal scaling.
- Offers configurable durability with both replication and erasure coding.
- Includes strong consistency mechanisms based on Raft.
- Supports Kerberos authentication, ACLs, Apache Ranger integration, TLS, and transparent data encryption.
- Can run in containerized and cloud-native environments including Kubernetes.
- Includes command line and Java client interfaces for administration and data access.
