It's quite odd that your calling out Uber for using HDFS because it's so "2014", legacy and inefficient and yet your solution involves NFS and an enterprise storage vendor? Do you not see any irony in that? I think that many would argue your solution is far more legacy. It's also far more inefficient from a cost perspective. I have yet to see a storage vendor who could match the price of commodity hardware.

I agree, it is quite ironic that I can beat HDFS with a SAN + NFS mounts.
