This document discusses Hadoop integration with cloud storage. It describes the Hadoop-compatible file system architecture, which allows Hadoop applications to work with both HDFS and cloud storage transparently. Recent enhancements to the S3A file system connector for Amazon S3 are discussed, including performance improvements and support for encryption. Benchmark results show significant performance gains for Hive queries with S3A compared to earlier versions. Upcoming work on output committers, object store abstraction, and consistency are outlined.
