</span></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif"><span style="line-height:18.479999542236328px">"Some larger players in the HPC arena have begun to provide rich support for high-performance parallel file systems as a complete alternative to HDFS. IBM's GPFS file system has a file placement optimization (FPO) capability that allows GPFS to act as a drop-in replacement for HDFS, and Intel was selling native Lustre support before they sold IDH to Cloudera."</span><br>

It's not OSS however. They support Cloudera (obviously as they just sunk $740m) and Apache Hadoop. </span></font><font face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif"><span style="line-height:18.479999542236328px">There is also support for SLURM as a scheduler however I don't have a nice link. </span></font><span style="font-family:Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif;line-height:18.479999542236328px">These bits should mean that Hadoop can play nicely as a "normal" HPC application.</span></div>
