HopsFS has significantly improved the scalability and performance of Hadoop, breaking the 1 million operations per second barrier by redesigning the metadata management with multiple stateless namenodes and removing the global namespace lock. The system demonstrates superior performance compared to HDFS, particularly in write-intensive workloads and handling small files, which enhances overall efficiency in data processing frameworks. Additionally, future developments include integrating Hive metastore with HopsFS for enhanced metadata consistency and facilitating multi-data-center capabilities.
