We have produced architectural documentation for the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), a major open source project. This paper describes our process and experiences in developing this documentation. We illustrate the documentation we have produced and how it differs from existing documentation by describing the redundancy mechanisms used in HDFS for reliability. %G English %Z TC 2 %Z WG 2.13 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01570748/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01570748/file/978-3-642-24418-6_4_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01570748 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01570748 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-OSS %~ IFIP-TC2 %~ IFIP-WG2-13 %~ IFIP-AICT-365
