-----------------------------------
I filed LEGAL-211, hopefully the legal team can provide some guidance on this
matter.

> Key: HDFS-7345

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Kai Zheng
> Assignee: Kai Zheng
>
> HDFS-7285 proposes to support Erasure Coding inside HDFS, supports multiple
> Erasure Coding codecs via pluggable framework and implements Reed Solomon
> code by default. This is to support a more advanced coding mechanism, Local
> Reconstruction Codes (LRC). As discussed in the paper
> (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/atc12/atc12-final181_0.pdf),
> LRC reduces the number of erasure coding fragments that need to be read when
> reconstructing data fragments that are offline, while still keeping the
> storage overhead low. The important benefits of LRC are that it reduces the
> bandwidth and I/Os required for repair reads over prior codes, while still
> allowing a significant reduction in storage overhead. Intel ISA library also
> supports LRC in its update and can also be leveraged. The implementation
> would also consider how to distribute the calculating of local and global
> parity blocks to other relevant DataNodes.
