Exporting data out of IBM Spectrum Scale clusters

In many applications, it might be required to export the output data into another system or application for further use. Hadoop native components such as Flume can be used for this purpose. If HDFS Transparency is used for Hadoop applications, the distcp feature is supported over IBM Spectrum Scale to export data into a remote HDFS file system or IBM Spectrum Scale file system. Additionally, since IBM Spectrum Scale provides POSIX semantics, custom scripts can be written to move data from an IBM Spectrum Scale cluster to any other POSIX-compliant file system. Consider using CNFS to copy the needed data directly.

If data must be exported into another IBM Spectrum Scale cluster, the AFM function can be used to replicate data into a remote IBM Spectrum Scale cluster.
