Amazon S3 provides uploading of large files and retrieve small offsets for end-to-end transfer data rates. The large file gets stored into small files that are smaller in size. Amazon S3 stores multiple of files together in a bundle or in a compressed form, For example in .gzip or .gz format and then convert them into Amazon S3 objects. The files get uploaded on the Amazon server by the use of FTP or another protocol and then retrieved through the HTTP GET request. The request includes the defined parameters like URL, offset (byte-range) and size (length).

IUnknown as an interface of a COM object. Every COM object has to support IUnknown, besides optionally adding other interfaces.

IUnknown is made of QueryInterface, AddRef and Release.

An XSL sheet or a document may have duplicate elements and attributes. Therefore, the XML namespaces define a way to distinguish between duplicate element types and attribute names.

An XML namespace is a collection of element type and attribute names. It is a URI due to which any element type or attribute name in an XML namespace can be uniquely identified. 

It consists of two parts : the name of the XML namespace and the local name.

e.g.: xmlns: h=”https://www.abc.com”

After this, you can write

<h:table>

……..

</h:table>

to associate the table with the declared namespace. 

In a mapreduce job the master pings each worker periodically. In case a worker does not respond to that system then the system is marked as failed. Even completed tasks are rescheduled because the output was stored in a in a local disk of a worker which failed. Hence mapreduce is able to handle large-scale failures easily by simply restarting a task. The master node always saves itself at checkpoints and in case of any failure it simply restarts from that checkpoint.

- Multi-threading fetching in Amazon S3 is used to fetch the objects concurrently using the multiple threads and map the task so that fetching can be made simpler. 

- It is not a good practice to increase the threading for a particular object as every node on the server has some bandwidth constraints. 

- It provides user the ease with which they can upload the files and upload the threads in parallel. 

- It provides high speed of data transfer and easy maintenance of the sever as well.
