| The HDFS Documentation provides the information you need to get started using the Hadoop Distributed File System. |
| Begin with the <a href="hdfs_user_guide.html">HDFS Users Guide</a> to obtain an overview of the system and then |
| move on to the <a href="hdfs_design.html">HDFS Architecture Guide</a> for more detailed information. |

| HDFS commonly works in tandem with a cluster environment and MapReduce applications. |
| For information about Hadoop clusters (single or multi node) see the |
| <a href="http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/index.html">Hadoop Common Documentation</a>. |
| For information about MapReduce see the |
| <a href="http://hadoop.apache.org/mapreduce/docs/current/index.html">MapReduce Documentation</a>. |
