Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-7716: --------------------------------- Thanks for the comments, Zhe! I'm currently still working on a patch. For your first two questions, I still plan to use triplets since currently the block report processing logic depends on this data structure. The difference between {{BlockReplicationInfo}} and {{BlockGroupInfo}} mainly lies in that {{BlockGroupInfo}} requires the triplets to be sorted based on the block sequence in the group. Thus the {{addStorage}}, {{removeStorage}} and {{numNodes}} will be different in these two classes. In the meanwhile, to handle over-replicated blocks in a block group (due to temporary datanode failure etc.) we may need extra data structure in {{BlockGroupInfo}} to explicitly record the block index of each triplet. > Erasure Coding: extend BlockInfo to handle EC info > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-7716 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7716 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Jing Zhao > Assignee: Jing Zhao > > The current BlockInfo's implementation only supports the replication > mechanism. To use the same blocksMap handling block group and its data/parity > blocks, we need to define a new BlockGroupInfo class. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
