## What is Alluxio

[Alluxio](https://www.alluxio.io) (formerly known as Tachyon)

is a virtual distributed storage system. It bridges the gap between

computation frameworks and storage systems, enabling computation applications to connect to

numerous storage systems through a common interface. Read more about

[Alluxio Overview](https://docs.alluxio.io/os/user/stable/en/Overview.html).

The Alluxio project originated from a research project called Tachyon at AMPLab, UC Berkeley,

which was the data layer of the Berkeley Data Analytics Stack ([BDAS](https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/bdas/)).

For more details, please refer to Haoyuan Li's PhD dissertation

[Alluxio: A Virtual Distributed File System](https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2018/EECS-2018-29.html).

## Who Uses Alluxio

Alluxio is used in production to manage Petabytes of data in many leading companies, with

the largest deployment exceeding 3,000 nodes. You can find more use cases at

## Download Alluxio

### Binary download

Prebuilt binaries are available to download at https://www.alluxio.io/download .

### Docker

Download and start an Alluxio master and a worker. More details can be found in [documentation](https://docs.alluxio.io/os/user/stable/en/deploy/Running-Alluxio-On-Docker.html).

```console

# Create a network for connecting Alluxio containers

$ docker network create alluxio_nw

# Create a volume for storing ufs data

$ docker volume create ufs

# Launch the Alluxio master

$ docker run -d --net=alluxio_nw \

    -p 19999:19999 \

    --name=alluxio-master \

    -v ufs:/opt/alluxio/underFSStorage \

    alluxio/alluxio master

# Launch the Alluxio worker

$ export ALLUXIO_WORKER_RAMDISK_SIZE=1G

$ docker run -d --net=alluxio_nw \

    --shm-size=${ALLUXIO_WORKER_RAMDISK_SIZE} \

    --name=alluxio-worker \

    -v ufs:/opt/alluxio/underFSStorage \

    -e ALLUXIO_JAVA_OPTS="-Dalluxio.worker.ramdisk.size=${ALLUXIO_WORKER_RAMDISK_SIZE} -Dalluxio.master.hostname=alluxio-master" \

    alluxio/alluxio worker

```

### MacOS Homebrew

```console

$ brew install alluxio

```

## Quick Start

Please follow the [Guide to Get Started](https://docs.alluxio.io/os/user/stable/en/Getting-Started.html)

to run a simple example with Alluxio.

## Report a Bug

To report bugs, suggest improvements, or create new feature requests, please open a [Github Issue](https://github.com/alluxio/alluxio/issues).

If you are not sure whether you run into bugs or simply have general questions with respect to Alluxio, post your questions on [Alluxio Slack channel](www.alluxio.io/slack).

## Depend on Alluxio

Alluxio project provides several different client artifacts for external projects to depend on Alluxio client:

- Artifact `alluxio-shaded-client` is recommended generally for a project to use Alluxio client.

  The jar of this artifact is self-contained (including all dependencies in a shaded form to prevent dependency conflicts),

  and thus larger than the following two artifacts.

- Artifact `alluxio-core-client-fs` provides

  [Alluxio Java file system API](https://docs.alluxio.io/os/user/stable/en/api/Java-API.html#alluxio-java-api))

  to access all Alluxio-specific functionalities.

  This artifact is included in `alluxio-shaded-client`.

- Artifact `alluxio-core-client-hdfs` provides

  [HDFS-Compatible file system API](https://docs.alluxio.io/os/user/stable/en/api/Java-API.html#hadoop-compatible-java-client).

  This artifact is included in `alluxio-shaded-client`.

Here are examples to declare the dependencies on  `alluxio-shaded-client` using Maven:

  ```xml

  

    org.alluxio

    alluxio-shaded-client

    2.6.0

  

  ```
