SeaweedFS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system. There are two objectives: to store billions of files! to serve the files fast! Instead of supporting full POSIX file system semantics, SeaweedFS choose to implement only a key~file mapping. Similar to the word "NoSQL", you can call it as "NoFS".

Instead of managing all file metadata in a central master, the central master only manages file volumes, and it lets these volume servers manage files and their metadata. This relieves concurrency pressure from the central master and spreads file metadata into volume servers, allowing faster file access (just one disk read operation).

SeaweedFS started by implementing <a href="http://www.usenix.org/event/osdi10/tech/full_papers/Beaver.pdf">Facebook's Haystack design paper</a>. SeaweedFS is currently growing, with more features on the way.
