Explanation

Hadoop Operations: Choosing a Filesystem Today Hadoop primarily runs on Linux: as a result we'll focus on common Linux filesystems. To be sure, Hadoop can run on more exotic filesystems such as those from commercial vendors, but this usually isn't cost-effective. Remember that Hadoop is designed to be not only low-cost, but also modest in its requirements on the hosts on which it runs. By far, the most common filesystems used in production clusters are ext3, ext4, and xfs.
