Distributed File Management Systems Synopsis

Introduction:

The purpose of Distributed File System is to allow users of physically

distributed computers to share data and storage resources by using a
common file system. A typical configuration for a Distributed File System is a
collection of workstations and mainframes connected by a Local Area
Network. A Distributed File System is implemented as part of the operating
system of each of the connected computers.

A Distributed File System is a file system, whose clients, servers, and

storage devices are dispersed among the machines of a distributed system.
Accordingly, service activity has to be carried out across the network, and
instead of a single centralized data repository there are multiple and
independent storage devices. As will become evident, the concrete
configuration and implementation of a Distributed File System may vary.
There are configurations where servers run on dedicated machines, as well
as configurations where a machine can be both a server and a client. A
Distributed File System can be implemented as part of a distributed
operating system or, alternatively, by a software layer whose task is to
manage the communication between conventional operating systems and
file systems.

Technical Details:

In this project the goal is to design a framework for building an overall

Zero-Latency Data handling system. Such a system requires tasks such as
data changes detection, continuous loading and updating of new data,
autonomous analysis and the execution of actions to be completed in the
Data Warehouse (DWH).

A second goal is to take into consideration a special class of

information source namely continuous data streams. Continuous data
streams are information sources in which data arrives in high-volume,
rapidly, bursty, and needs to be processed continuously. Therefore novel
protocols and techniques are needed for capturing, storing and evaluate
analysis decision based on new coming data from such continuous data
stream sources.
Software Required: Oracle & Java

Conclusion:

In this project, we specify a framework by combining the concepts of

continuous data integration and analysis rules. Furthermore, we take into
consideration to a special class of information source namely continuous
data streams. Therefore, we will suggest novel protocols and techniques for
capturing, processing and storing data arrives from continuous data stream
sources. The data model that provides time consistency and deals with timely
delays in the active DWH environment is to be used.
