alluxio-1: A Java repository from a1tair6

What is Alluxio

Alluxio (formerly known as Tachyon) is a virtual distributed storage system. It bridges the gap between computation frameworks and storage systems, enabling computation applications to connect to numerous storage systems through a common interface. Read more about Alluxio Overview.

The Alluxio project originated from a research project called Tachyon at AMPLab, UC Berkeley, which was the data layer of the Berkeley Data Analytics Stack (BDAS). For more details, please refer to Haoyuan Li's PhD dissertation Alluxio: A Virtual Distributed File System.

Depend on Alluxio

Alluxio project provides several different client artifacts for external projects to depend on Alluxio client:

Artifact alluxio-core-client-fs provides a client for Alluxio Java file system API) to access all Alluxio-specific functionalities.
Artifact alluxio-core-client-hdfs provides a client for HDFS-Compatible file system API.
Artifact alluxio-shaded-client, available in Alluxio 2.0.1 or later, includes both above clients and all their dependencies but in a shaded form to prevent conflicts. This client jar is self-contained but the size is also much larger than the other two. This artifact is recommended generally for a project to use Alluxio client.

Here are examples to declare the dependecies on alluxio-shaded-client using Maven or SBT:

Apache Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.alluxio</groupId>
  <artifactId>alluxio-shaded-client</artifactId>
  <version>2.2.0</version>
</dependency>

SBT

libraryDependencies += "org.alluxio" % "alluxio-shaded-client" % "2.2.0"
