This article compares the performance of Ozone with HDFS, the de-facto big data file system.

Data Structure Zoo

Solving a problem programatically often involves grouping data items together so they can be conveniently operated on or copied as a single unit – the items are collected in a data structure. Many different data structures have been designed over the past decades, some store individual items like phone numbers, others store more complex objects like name/phone number pairs. Each has strengths and weaknesses and is more or less suitable for a specific use case.
