What? No, ZFS is not a distributed filesystem. It never has been, it almost certainly never will be, and it has little in common with distributed filesystems.
What makes ZFS different is that it is a production-grade copy-on-write self-validating merkle tree. Most of its properties fall out from that. There's nothing distributed there.
I'm saying this in the kindest way possible: please don't write about things that you have zero idea about. You cannot possibly be more fundamentally wrong about ZFS, and nothing you wrote makes any sense. :(
