Abstract
Techniques for storage and processing for distributed file systems are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, padding is placed between data elements in a file to be stored on a distributed file system. The file is to be split into several objects in order to be stored in the distributed file system, and the padding is used to prevent a data element from being split across two different objects. The objects are stored on data nodes, which analyze the objects to determine which data elements are present in the object as well at the location of those objects. The location of the objects is saved on the data storage device, and those locations can be used to perform queries on the data elements in the object on the data storage device itself. Such an approach can reduce transfer of data elements from data storage to local memory of the data node.
