Apache Ozone is a scalable, redundant, distributed object store for Hadoop and cloud-native environments, supporting billions of objects with strong consistency via Raft. It offers S3-compatible and Hadoop FileSystem APIs, replication or erasure coding, Kerberos/Ranger security, and deploys well on Kubernetes and YARN.

Use cases

  • build a cost-effective S3-compatible object store on my own hardware
  • replace HDFS for a petabyte-scale data lake
  • store Iceberg table data and metadata for a lakehouse
  • backend storage for Spark, Hive, Flink, or Impala workloads
  • run a distributed storage cluster on Kubernetes
  • store checkpoints and savepoints for Flink streaming jobs
  • consolidate multiple HDFS clusters into one storage system

When to choose

  • you need S3-compatible storage at petabyte scale with strong consistency
  • you are outgrowing HDFS NameNode scalability limits
  • you want a lakehouse backend with atomic rename for Iceberg commits
  • you need Kerberos, Ranger, ACLs, and encryption in a storage layer

When to avoid

  • you just need simple blob storage for a small app - MinIO or cloud object stores are simpler
  • you need a POSIX network filesystem for general-purpose workloads
  • your team has no capacity to operate a distributed Java storage cluster
