Abstract
A distributed object store can expose object metadata, in addition to object data, to distributed processing systems, such as Hadoop and Apache Spark. The distributed object store may acts as a Hadoop Compatible File System (HCFS), exposing object metadata as a collection of records that can be efficiently processed by MapReduce (MR) and other distributed processing frameworks. A distributed processing job can specify a metadata query to narrow the set of objects returned. Related methods are also described.
