* pb: let a heartbeat carry only the volumes that changed A partial list cannot travel in volumes: a master that did not understand it would read the absences as deletions. So changes get their own field, used only once the master has said it compares digests and can tell when it has fallen behind. * master: apply the volumes a heartbeat reports as changed Only the named volumes are touched. A full report says the server holds exactly these; a changed report says nothing about the ones it leaves out, so absence must not read as removal. Also advertises that the master compares digests, which is what lets a server stop sending its whole list. Advertising it once per connection means a server reconnecting to a master that does not is back to full lists straight away. * volume: send only the volumes that changed once the master accepts them The whole list goes on every heartbeat until the master says it compares digests, and again whenever it asks, so a master that cannot tell when it has fallen behind never has to. has_no_volumes stays derived from a full list alone. Deriving it from what a heartbeat happens to carry would make a quiet one read as a server that had lost every volume, and the master would drop them all. The digest still covers every volume held rather than the ones sent, which is what lets the master confirm that applying the changes left it current. Reporting state is per-connection: a server that reconnects, or reaches a different master, starts again from the full list. * volume: let the zero reporting state stand for having told no master anything A Store built as a literal, which tests do, left the reporting state nil and panicked on the first heartbeat. As a value its zero form already means nothing has been reported to anyone, which is exactly the state that sends the whole list. * rust: send only the volumes that changed once the master accepts them Mirrors the Go volume server, with one hazard the Go side does not have: mount and unmount deltas here are derived by diffing successive heartbeats, so a heartbeat that carries a partial list would report every volume it left out as unmounted. Collecting now returns the full set alongside the message, and every site that diffs uses that rather than what went on the wire. * volume: do not let a full-list request be lost to the heartbeat it raced The request arrived while a heartbeat was already being built as a delta, and committing that heartbeat cleared it, so the master waited for another digest mismatch before asking again. Count the requests and clear only the one the heartbeat answered. * rust: stop marking volumes reported by a heartbeat that is thrown away The state-notify path collected a heartbeat only to diff its volume list, then sent a delta message of its own and dropped the one it had collected. Once collecting recorded what the master had been told, every mount or unmount silently marked the changed volumes as sent, and the master learned of them only after a digest mismatch. Snapshotting no longer records anything, and no longer expires ec volumes whose deletion that path was already discarding. * master: announce only the volumes a change actually brought Every changed volume was broadcast as a new location. Volumes grow constantly and growth moves no location, so on a busy cluster that told every connected client about volumes it could already reach, filling bounded broadcast queues and pushing out the topology updates that matter. * master: ask for the full list when only one can repair the master Delta heartbeats stop the full report, and with it the only thing that re-registers a volume the lookup index lost. The volume server cannot see that divergence and its digest cannot show it, so the master now checks its own two indexes agree and asks for the list when they do not. A node reporting one volume id twice is kept on full lists for the same reason rather than merely skipped: its digest can never be verified, so nothing else would tell the master what it had stopped holding. * master: keep the volume options on every heartbeat response A volume server takes them from whatever response arrives, and preallocate is a bare bool with no way to tell off from unmentioned. A response sent to ask for the volume list therefore turned preallocation off until the server reconnected. Responses sent mid-stream now start from the configured options rather than being built field by field. * master: announce a volume the lookup index had lost Repairing the index makes the volume servable again, but clients were told it went when the node dropped out and nothing told them otherwise: the disk map still held it, so it did not count as an arrival. Reaching the lookup index is what makes a volume servable, so recovering an entry there is an arrival as far as clients are concerned, on both the full report and the changed-volume path.

Quick Start
Quick Start with weed mini
Download the latest binary from https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/releases and unzip the single weed (or weed.exe) file, or run go install github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/weed@latest. Then start a ready-to-use S3 object store with credentials and a pre-created bucket in one command:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=admin \
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret \
S3_BUCKET=my-bucket \
./weed mini -dir=/data
That's it — the S3 endpoint is at http://localhost:8333, my-bucket already exists, and admin/secret are valid credentials. S3_BUCKET accepts a comma-separated list (e.g. raw,processed); use S3_TABLE_BUCKET for S3 Tables (Iceberg) buckets. Drop any of the env vars to skip that piece (no AWS keys → S3 runs in unauthenticated "Allow All" mode for development).
The same command starts everything else too:
- S3 Endpoint: http://localhost:8333
- Master UI: http://localhost:9333
- Volume Server: http://localhost:9340
- Filer UI: http://localhost:8888
- WebDAV: http://localhost:7333
- Admin UI: http://localhost:23646
macOS: if the binary is quarantined, run
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./weedfirst.
Perfect for development, testing, learning SeaweedFS, and single-node deployments. To scale out, add more volume servers by running weed volume -dir="/some/data/dir2" -master="<master_host>:9333" -port=8081 locally, on another machine, or on thousands of machines.
Quick Start for S3 API on Docker
docker run -p 8333:8333 \
-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=admin \
-e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret \
-e S3_BUCKET=my-bucket \
chrislusf/seaweedfs
Same behavior as the weed mini command above — the S3 endpoint is at http://localhost:8333 with my-bucket pre-created. Drop the env vars to run anonymously for development.
Introduction
SeaweedFS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system. There are two objectives:
- to store billions of files!
- to serve the files fast!
SeaweedFS started as a blob store to handle small files efficiently. Instead of managing all file metadata in a central master, the central master only manages volumes on volume servers, and these volume servers manage files and their metadata. This relieves concurrency pressure from the central master and spreads file metadata into volume servers, allowing faster file access (O(1), usually just one disk read operation).
There is only 40 bytes of disk storage overhead for each file's metadata. It is so simple with O(1) disk reads that you are welcome to challenge the performance with your actual use cases.
SeaweedFS started by implementing Facebook's Haystack design paper. Also, SeaweedFS implements erasure coding with ideas from f4: Facebook’s Warm BLOB Storage System, and has a lot of similarities with Facebook’s Tectonic Filesystem and Google's Colossus File System
On top of the blob store, optional Filer can support directories and POSIX attributes. Filer is a separate linearly-scalable stateless server with customizable metadata stores, e.g., MySql, Postgres, Redis, Cassandra, HBase, Mongodb, Elastic Search, LevelDB, RocksDB, Sqlite, MemSql, TiDB, Etcd, CockroachDB, YDB, etc.
SeaweedFS can transparently integrate with the cloud. With hot data on local cluster, and warm data on the cloud with O(1) access time, SeaweedFS can achieve both fast local access time and elastic cloud storage capacity. What's more, the cloud storage access API cost is minimized. Faster and cheaper than direct cloud storage!
SeaweedFS also ships a built-in Iceberg REST Catalog, turning the same cluster into a self-contained lakehouse. Spark, Trino, Dremio, DuckDB, and RisingWave can query Iceberg tables directly — no Hive Metastore, Glue, or external catalog service required. Storage and table metadata live in one system, simplifying on-prem and small-team analytics stacks.

Example: Using Seaweed Blob Store
By default, the master node runs on port 9333, and the volume nodes run on port 8080. Let's start one master node, and two volume nodes on port 8080 and 8081. Ideally, they should be started from different machines. We'll use localhost as an example.
SeaweedFS uses HTTP REST operations to read, write, and delete. The responses are in JSON or JSONP format.
Start Master Server
> ./weed master
Start Volume Servers
> weed volume -dir="/tmp/data1" -max=5 -master="localhost:9333" -port=8080 &
> weed volume -dir="/tmp/data2" -max=10 -master="localhost:9333" -port=8081 &
Write A Blob
A blob, also referred as a needle, a chunk, or mistakenly as a file, is just a byte array. It can have attributes, such as name, mime type, create or update time, etc. But basically it is just a byte array of a relatively small size, such as 2 MB ~ 64 MB. The size is not fixed.
To upload a blob: first, send a HTTP POST, PUT, or GET request to /dir/assign to get an fid and a volume server URL:
> curl http://localhost:9333/dir/assign
{"count":1,"fid":"3,01637037d6","url":"127.0.0.1:8080","publicUrl":"localhost:8080"}
Second, to store the blob content, send a HTTP multi-part POST request to url + '/' + fid from the response:
> curl -F file=@/home/chris/myphoto.jpg http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6
{"name":"myphoto.jpg","size":43234,"eTag":"1cc0118e"}
To update, send another POST request with updated blob content.
For deletion, send an HTTP DELETE request to the same url + '/' + fid URL:
> curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6
Save Blob Id
Now, you can save the fid, 3,01637037d6 in this case, to a database field.
The number 3 at the start represents a volume id. After the comma, it's one file key, 01, and a file cookie, 637037d6.
The volume id is an unsigned 32-bit integer. The file key is an unsigned 64-bit integer. The file cookie is an unsigned 32-bit integer, used to prevent URL guessing.
The file key and file cookie are both coded in hex. You can store the <volume id, file key, file cookie> tuple in your own format, or simply store the fid as a string.
If stored as a string, in theory, you would need 8+1+16+8=33 bytes. A char(33) would be enough, if not more than enough, since most uses will not need 2^32 volumes.
If space is really a concern, you can store the file id in the binary format. You would need one 4-byte integer for volume id, 8-byte long number for file key, and a 4-byte integer for the file cookie. So 16 bytes are more than enough.
Read a Blob
Here is an example of how to render the URL.
First look up the volume server's URLs by the file's volumeId:
> curl http://localhost:9333/dir/lookup?volumeId=3
{"volumeId":"3","locations":[{"publicUrl":"localhost:8080","url":"localhost:8080"}]}
Since (usually) there are not too many volume servers, and volumes don't move often, you can cache the results most of the time. Depending on the replication type, one volume can have multiple replica locations. Just randomly pick one location to read.
Now you can take the public URL, render the URL or directly read from the volume server via URL:
http://localhost:8080/3,01637037d6.jpg
Notice we add a file extension ".jpg" here. It's optional and just one way for the client to specify the file content type.
If you want a nicer URL, you can use one of these alternative URL formats:
http://localhost:8080/3/01637037d6/my_preferred_name.jpg
http://localhost:8080/3/01637037d6.jpg
http://localhost:8080/3,01637037d6.jpg
http://localhost:8080/3/01637037d6
http://localhost:8080/3,01637037d6
If you want to get a scaled version of an image, you can add some params:
http://localhost:8080/3/01637037d6.jpg?height=200&width=200
http://localhost:8080/3/01637037d6.jpg?height=200&width=200&mode=fit
http://localhost:8080/3/01637037d6.jpg?height=200&width=200&mode=fill
Rack-Aware and Data Center-Aware Replication
SeaweedFS applies the replication strategy at a volume level. So, when you are getting a blob id, you can specify the replication strategy. For example:
curl http://localhost:9333/dir/assign?replication=001
The replication parameter options are:
000: no replication
001: replicate once on the same rack
010: replicate once on a different rack, but same data center
100: replicate once on a different data center
200: replicate twice on two different data center
110: replicate once on a different rack, and once on a different data center
More details about replication can be found on the wiki.
You can also set the default replication strategy when starting the master server.
Allocate Blob Key on Specific Data Center
Volume servers can be started with a specific data center name:
weed volume -dir=/tmp/1 -port=8080 -dataCenter=dc1
weed volume -dir=/tmp/2 -port=8081 -dataCenter=dc2
When requesting a blob key, an optional "dataCenter" parameter can limit the assigned volume to the specific data center. For example, this specifies that the assigned volume should be limited to 'dc1':
http://localhost:9333/dir/assign?dataCenter=dc1
Other Features
- No Single Point of Failure
- Insert with your own keys
- Chunking large files
- Collection as a Simple Name Space
Blob Store Architecture
Usually distributed file systems split each file into chunks. A central server keeps a mapping of filenames to chunks, and also which chunks each chunk server has.
The main drawback is that the central server can't handle many small files efficiently, and since all read requests need to go through the central master, so it might not scale well for many concurrent users.
Instead of managing chunks, SeaweedFS manages data volumes in the master server. Each data volume is 32GB in size, and can hold a lot of blobs. And each storage node can have many data volumes. So the master node only needs to store the metadata about the volumes, which is a fairly small amount of data and is generally stable.
The actual blob metadata, which are the blob volume, offset, and size, is stored in each volume on volume servers. Since each volume server only manages metadata of blobs on its own disk, with only 16 bytes for each blob, all access can read the metadata just from memory and only needs one disk operation to actually read file data.
For comparison, consider that an xfs inode structure in Linux is 536 bytes.
Master Server and Volume Server
The architecture is fairly simple. The actual data is stored in volumes on storage nodes. One volume server can have multiple volumes, and can both support read and write access with basic authentication.
All volumes are managed by a master server. The master server contains the volume id to volume server mapping. This is fairly static information, and can be easily cached.
On each write request, the master server also generates a file key, which is a growing 64-bit unsigned integer. Since write requests are not generally as frequent as read requests, one master server should be able to handle the concurrency well.
Write and Read files
When a client sends a write request, the master server returns (volume id, file key, file cookie, volume node URL) for the blob. The client then contacts the volume node and POSTs the blob content.
When a client needs to read a blob based on (volume id, file key, file cookie), it asks the master server by the volume id for the (volume node URL, volume node public URL), or retrieves this from a cache. Then the client can GET the content, or just render the URL on web pages and let browsers fetch the content.
Saving memory
All blob metadata stored on a volume server is readable from memory without disk access. Each file takes just a 16-byte map entry of <64bit key, 32bit offset, 32bit size>. Of course, each map entry has its own space cost for the map. But usually the disk space runs out before the memory does.
Tiered Storage to the cloud
The local volume servers are much faster, while cloud storages have elastic capacity and are actually more cost-efficient if not accessed often (usually free to upload, but relatively costly to access). With the append-only structure and O(1) access time, SeaweedFS can take advantage of both local and cloud storage by offloading the warm data to the cloud.
Usually hot data are fresh and warm data are old. SeaweedFS puts the newly created volumes on local servers, and optionally upload the older volumes on the cloud. If the older data are accessed less often, this literally gives you unlimited capacity with limited local servers, and still fast for new data.
With the O(1) access time, the network latency cost is kept at minimum.
If the hot/warm data is split as 20/80, with 20 servers, you can achieve storage capacity of 100 servers. That's a cost saving of 80%! Or you can repurpose the 80 servers to store new data also, and get 5X storage throughput.
SeaweedFS Filer
Built on top of the blob store, SeaweedFS Filer adds directory structure to create a file system. The directory structure is an interface that is implemented in many key-value stores or databases.
The content of a file is mapped to one or many blobs, distributed to multiple volumes on multiple volume servers.
Compared to Other File Systems
Most other distributed file systems seem more complicated than necessary.
SeaweedFS is meant to be fast and simple, in both setup and operation. If you do not understand how it works when you reach here, we've failed! Please raise an issue with any questions or update this file with clarifications.
SeaweedFS is constantly moving forward. Same with other systems. These comparisons can be outdated quickly. Please help to keep them updated.
Compared to HDFS
HDFS uses the chunk approach for each file, and is ideal for storing large files.
SeaweedFS is ideal for serving relatively smaller files quickly and concurrently.
SeaweedFS can also store extra large files by splitting them into manageable data chunks, and store the file ids of the data chunks into a meta chunk. This is managed by "weed upload/download" tool, and the weed master or volume servers are agnostic about it.
Compared to GlusterFS, Ceph
The architectures are mostly the same. SeaweedFS aims to store and read files fast, with a simple and flat architecture. The main differences are
- SeaweedFS optimizes for small files, ensuring O(1) disk seek operation, and can also handle large files.
- SeaweedFS statically assigns a volume id for a file. Locating file content becomes just a lookup of the volume id, which can be easily cached.
- SeaweedFS Filer metadata store can be any well-known and proven data store, e.g., Redis, Cassandra, HBase, Mongodb, Elastic Search, MySql, Postgres, Sqlite, MemSql, TiDB, CockroachDB, Etcd, YDB etc, and is easy to customize.
- SeaweedFS Volume server also communicates directly with clients via HTTP, supporting range queries, direct uploads, etc.
| System | File Metadata | File Content Read | POSIX | REST API | Optimized for large number of small files |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SeaweedFS | lookup volume id, cacheable | O(1) disk seek | Yes | Yes | |
| SeaweedFS Filer | Linearly Scalable, Customizable | O(1) disk seek | FUSE | Yes | Yes |
| GlusterFS | hashing | FUSE, NFS | |||
| Ceph | hashing + rules | FUSE | Yes | ||
| MooseFS | in memory | FUSE | No | ||
| MinIO | separate meta file for each file | Yes | No |
Compared to GlusterFS
GlusterFS stores files, both directories and content, in configurable volumes called "bricks".
GlusterFS hashes the path and filename into ids, and assigned to virtual volumes, and then mapped to "bricks".
Compared to MooseFS
MooseFS chooses to neglect small file issue. From moosefs 3.0 manual, "even a small file will occupy 64KiB plus additionally 4KiB of checksums and 1KiB for the header", because it "was initially designed for keeping large amounts (like several thousands) of very big files"
MooseFS Master Server keeps all meta data in memory. Same issue as HDFS namenode.
Compared to Ceph
Ceph can be setup similar to SeaweedFS as a key->blob store. It is much more complicated, with the need to support layers on top of it. Here is a more detailed comparison
SeaweedFS has a centralized master group to look up free volumes, while Ceph uses hashing and metadata servers to locate its objects. Having a centralized master makes it easy to code and manage.
Ceph, like SeaweedFS, is based on the object store RADOS. Ceph is rather complicated with mixed reviews.
Ceph uses CRUSH hashing to automatically manage data placement, which is efficient to locate the data. But the data has to be placed according to the CRUSH algorithm. Any wrong configuration would cause data loss. Topology changes, such as adding new servers to increase capacity, will cause data migration with high IO cost to fit the CRUSH algorithm. SeaweedFS places data by assigning them to any writable volumes. If writes to one volume failed, just pick another volume to write. Adding more volumes is also as simple as it can be.
SeaweedFS is optimized for small files. Small files are stored as one continuous block of content, with at most 8 unused bytes between files. Small file access is O(1) disk read.
SeaweedFS Filer uses off-the-shelf stores, such as MySql, Postgres, Sqlite, Mongodb, Redis, Elastic Search, Cassandra, HBase, MemSql, TiDB, CockroachCB, Etcd, YDB, to manage file directories. These stores are proven, scalable, and easier to manage.
| SeaweedFS | comparable to Ceph | advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Master | MDS | simpler |
| Volume | OSD | optimized for small files |
| Filer | Ceph FS | linearly scalable, Customizable, O(1) or O(logN) |
Compared to MinIO
Please note, as Apr 25, 2026 MinIO ceased development. It's strongly discouraged to use that unmaintained software with multiple security bugs.
MinIO followed AWS S3 closely and was ideal for testing for S3 API. It had good UI, policies, versionings, etc. SeaweedFS is trying to catch up here.
MinIO metadata were in simple files. Each file write will incur extra writes to corresponding meta file.
MinIO did not have optimization for lots of small files. The files were simply stored as is to local disks. Plus the extra meta file and shards for erasure coding, it only amplifies the LOSF problem.
MinIO had multiple disk IO to read one file. SeaweedFS has O(1) disk reads, even for erasure coded files.
MinIO had full-time erasure coding. SeaweedFS uses replication on hot data for faster speed and optionally applies erasure coding on warm data.
MinIO did not have POSIX-like API support.
MinIO had specific requirements on storage layout. It is not flexible to adjust capacity. In SeaweedFS, just start one volume server pointing to the master. That's all.
Dev Plan
- More tools and documentation, on how to manage and scale the system.
- Read and write stream data.
- Support structured data.
This is a super exciting project! And we need helpers and support!

Hard Drive Performance
When testing read performance on SeaweedFS, it basically becomes a performance test of your hard drive's random read speed. Hard drives usually get 100MB/s~200MB/s.
Solid State Disk
To modify or delete small files, SSD must delete a whole block at a time, and move content in existing blocks to a new block. SSD is fast when brand new, but will get fragmented over time and you have to garbage collect, compacting blocks. SeaweedFS is friendly to SSD since it is append-only. Deletion and compaction are done on volume level in the background, not slowing reading and not causing fragmentation.
