Simplified GFS is, as its name implies, a simplified version of the Google File System. It is written in Python and attempts to emulate the overall architecture and design of the original Google File System while also maintaining a level of simplicity for both client use and programmer development. It allows a client to create, read, write, and delete files within a distributed filesystem while also allowing for recovery from both master and chunkserver failures.
Usage:
Run python3 master.py to run the master server, of which there should be only 1.
Run python3 chunkserver.py <host> <port> to run a chunkserver. The number of chunkservers should be greater than or equal to the number of replicas required for a chunk.
