Abstract
In the recent times, there has been an exposure to distributed systems that exemplify some degree of transparency predominantly through distributed file systems. Any user would like the look and feel of remote files just as the local ones. The Google File System implements such features. Instrumenting a master/slave pattern, the GFS provides appending data, taking snapshots and checkpoints which in various ways help in handling critical situations and failures. In addition, duplication of chunk servers allows faster access and retrieval of requested data.
