+### HDFS
+
+To use HDFS as a snapshot repository, follow these steps:
+
+1. Create an HDFS directory for snapshots and ensure that the OpenSearch user has read and write permissions to it (ex: `/opensearch/repositories/searchable_snapshots`).
+
+1. Install the `repository-hdfs` plugin on all nodes:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo ./bin/opensearch-plugin install repository-hdfs
+   ```
+
+   If you're using the Docker installation, see [Working with plugins]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/install/docker/#working-with-plugins}). Your `Dockerfile` should look something like this:
+
+   ```
+   FROM opensearchproject/opensearch:{{site.opensearch_version}}
+
+   RUN /usr/share/opensearch/bin/opensearch-plugin install --batch repository-hdfs

+1. (Optional) If you have Kerberos authentication enabled on your HDFS cluster:
+
+    If using Kerberos you may need to distribute the keytab file to all nodes and ensure that the OpenSearch user has read access to it. Otherwise, skip this step.
+
+1. Restart all nodes in the OpenSearch cluster.
+
+1. Register the repository using the OpenSearch Snapshot API:
+
+    ```json
+    PUT _snapshot/searchable_snapshots
+    {
+      "type": "hdfs",
+      "settings": {
+        // If using kerberos authentication, uncomment and replace YOURREALM with your realm name
+        //    "security.principal": "opensearch@YOURREALM"
+        "uri": "hdfs://namenode:8020/",
+        "path": "/opensearch/repositories/searchable_snapshots",
+        "conf.<key>": "<value>" // (Optional) Additional HDFS configuration settings
+      }
