Meta Data File Management System using BigData

Abstract

Implement a modular metadata system on existing file system stack for quick search, storage and retrieval of data present in different types of files. Current Big data Operating Systems do not support such functionality. Only file specific applications like Picasa, iTunes, and iPhoto support searching specific file types. From a user perspective, it becomes very important as the number of photos, songs and documents we store on our disks increase. A disk search also is very slow. The current proposal willallow large number of data to be searched and retrieved based on metadata in a very short time. The current operating systems do support the current feature (like OS X) with the support of tags, but the functionality is not available at a file system level. We will add programmatic API support to add metadata information on the file system such that extensions can be written around these APIs to extend the addition/deletion of attributes to a file system entity. The access times will be compared with existing filesystem’s metadata access time. Keywords: Traditional, Spreadsheet, Metadata, bigdata
