Hadoop-based storage architecture for mass MP3 files
Yu Chen · Journal of Computer Applications · 2012
MP3 as the de facto standard for digital music,the number of files is quite large and user access requirements rapidly grow up.How to effectively store and manage vast amounts of MP3 files to provide good user experience has become a matter of bigger concern.The emergence of Hadoop provides us with new ideas.However,because Hadoop itself is not suitable for handling massive small files,this paper presented a Hadoop-based storage architecture for massive MP3 files,fullly using the MP3 file's rich metadata.The classification algorithm by pre-processing module would merged small files into sequence file,and the introduction of efficient indexing mechanism served as a good solution to the problem of small files.The experimental results show that the approach can achieve a better performance.
