+ A distributed implementation of {@link
+org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem}. This is loosely modelled after
+Google's GFS.
+
+The most important difference is that unlike GFS, Hadoop DFS files
+have strictly one writer at any one time. Bytes are always appended
+to the end of the writer's stream. There is no notion of "record appends"
+or "mutations" that are then checked or reordered. Writers simply emit
+a byte stream. That byte stream is guaranteed to be stored in the
+order written.
