What is the difference between nas (network attached storage) and hdfs?
Answer / Avinash Rathi
NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a file-level storage system that provides shared access to files over a network. In contrast, HDFS is a distributed file system designed for storing large data sets across commodity hardware. NAS typically uses a centralized architecture with a dedicated server managing all file operations, while HDFS distributes these responsibilities among multiple nodes (namenodes and datanodes).
