About

What is alluxio?

Alluxio Open Source is a Distributed Caching Platform designed for large-scale data, specifically for analytics workloads. It acts as a data orchestration layer, allowing computation applications to connect to various storage systems through a common interface. Originating from UC Berkeley's AMPLab, Alluxio accelerates structured data analytics and is widely adopted with engines like Presto, Spark, and Trino. While the open-source edition is suitable for testing and small-scale production, the Enterprise Edition offers a decentralized metadata service for AI/ML workloads, supporting billions of files and providing FUSE-based POSIX integration for frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow.

Best used for

Ideal for data scientists and data engineers who need to accelerate data-intensive analytics, unify access to various storage systems, and optimize data for machine learning workloads. Especially valuable for environments using Presto, Spark, Trino, PyTorch, or TensorFlow in the cloud.

FAQs

What is the difference between Alluxio Open Source and Enterprise Editions?

Alluxio Open Source is designed for analytics workloads, accelerating structured data and scaling up to 100 million files. The Enterprise Edition, with its decentralized metadata service, is built for AI/ML workloads, supporting billions of files, higher performance, and FUSE-based POSIX integration for AI frameworks.

How can I get support for Alluxio Open Source?

For general questions or issues, you can post on the Alluxio Community Slack Channel. For bug reports, improvements, or new feature requests, it is recommended to open a GitHub Issue. The open-source edition does not include formal support.

What are the recommended client artifacts for depending on Alluxio?

The `alluxio-shaded-client` artifact is generally recommended as it is self-contained and prevents dependency conflicts. Alternatively, `alluxio-core-client-fs` provides Alluxio Java file system API, and `alluxio-core-client-hdfs` offers HDFS-Compatible file system API.
