SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ARCHIVE IN A DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An archive system for a distributed file system, comprising:
- at least one Name Node structured and arranged to map distributed data allocated to at least one Active Data Node, the Name Node further structured and arranged to direct manipulation of the data by the Active Data Node;
at least one Archive Data Node coupled to a data read/write device and a plurality of non-powered portable data storage elements compatible with the data read/write device, the Archive Data Node structured and arranged to receive data from at least one Active Data Node, archive the received data to at least one non-powered portable data storage element and respond to the Name Node directions to manipulate the archived data, the archived received data maintained in a non-powered state.

Abstract
Provided is a system and method for archive in a distributed file system. The system includes at least one Name Node structured and arranged to map distributed data allocated to at least one Active Data Node, the Name Node further structured and arranged to direct manipulation of the distributed data by the Active Data Node. The system further includes at least one Archive Data Node coupled to at least one data read/write device and a plurality of portable data storage elements compatible with the data read/write device, the Archive Data Node structured and arranged to receive distributed data from at least one Active Data Node, archive the received distributed data to at least one portable data storage element and respond to the Name Node directions to manipulate the archived data. An associated method of use is also provided.

8. An archive system for a distributed file system, comprising:
-
a distributed file system having at least one Name Node and a plurality of Active Data Nodes, a first data element disposed in the distributed file system as a plurality of data blocks distributed among a plurality of Active Data Nodes and mapped by the Name Node; and at least one Archive Data Node having a data read/write device and a plurality of portable data storage elements compatible with the data read/write device, the Archive Data Node structured and arranged to receive the first data element data blocks from the Active Data Nodes and archive the received data blocks upon at least one non-powered portable data storage element as at least one file, the archived file maintained in a non-powered state. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for archiving data in a Hadoop style distributed file system comprising:
-
providing at least one Archive Data Node having a data read/write device and a plurality of non-powered portable data storage elements compatible with the data read/write device; permitting a user of the Hadoop style distributed file system to identify a given file for archiving, the given file subdivided as a set of data blocks distributed to a plurality of Active Data Nodes maintaining the data blocks in a powered state; moving the set of data blocks of the given file from the powered state of the Active Data Nodes to the Archive Data Node; archiving the set of data blocks of the given file to at least one non-powered portable data storage element with the read/write device, the archive maintained in a non-powered state; and updating a map record of at least one Name Node to identify the Archive Data Node as the repository of the set of data blocks of the given file. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
