title: High throughput vs low latency in HDFS
body: <p>I tried to define what the high throughput vs low latency means in HDFS in my own words, and came up with the following definition:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>HDFS is optimized to access batches of data set quicker (high
    throughput), rather then particular records in that data set (low
    latency)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Does it make sense? :)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
