BFS is a distributed file system for small-file storage written in Go, modeled after Facebook's Haystack architecture. It consists of directory, store, pitchfork, proxy, and ops components, using HBase for metadata and ZooKeeper for coordination.
Use cases
- store billions of small files like images at high throughput
- self-host a Haystack-style distributed file store
- serve user-uploaded images with low latency
- manage object storage clusters with metadata in HBase
- monitor storage node health and disk status
When to choose
- you need high-throughput, low-latency storage for many small files
- you want a self-hosted Haystack-like design in Go
- you already run HBase and ZooKeeper infrastructure
When to avoid
- you need general-purpose POSIX file system semantics
- you want a maintained project with active development and a license
- you need large-file or block storage
- you want a turnkey solution without HBase/ZooKeeper dependencies
