Ozone replication policies

Apache Ozone is a scalable, distributed, and high performance object store optimized for big data workloads and can handle billions of objects of varying sizes. Ozone storage is co-located on HDFS. You can create Ozone replication policies to replicate data in Ozone buckets between clusters with CDP Private Cloud Base 7.1.8 or higher using Cloudera Manager 7.7.1 or higher.

Cloudera supports the following types of Ozone storage:

• Object store buckets (OBS), which are storage buckets where all the keys are written into a flat namespace and can be accessed using S3 interface provided by Ozone.
• File System Optimization (FSO), which are Hadoop-compatible file system buckets where the rename and delete operations on the directories are atomic. These buckets can be accessed using Filesystem APIs and S3 interfaces.
• Legacy buckets, which are Ozone buckets created prior to CDP Private Cloud Base 7.1.8 and use the Ozone File System (ofs) protocol or scheme.

You can use Ozone replication policies to replicate or migrate the required Ozone data to another cluster to run load-intensive workloads, back up data, or for backup-restore use cases.
