Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-7240:
---------------------------------

Talking about EC in ozone, I had a general discussion with [~drankye] last week 
while he was visiting us. We think ozone's storage container layer can make EC 
work easier and more clean, especially considering we're planning the EC phase 
II, i.e., to do EC in an offline mode. 

Fundamentally EC/replication should be handled in the storage layer (i.e., the 
block of HDFS, and the storage container in ozone) as two options for 
maintaining data's durability. A ozone's storage container will have the 
capability to support both. The general design to support EC in ozone can be 
very similar to some existing object store such as [magic pocket | 
https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/05/inside-the-magic-pocket/]. We can have 
more detailed discussion about the design and finally have a section in the 
design doc, but I do not think to support EC can become a hurdle for us.

> This jira proposes to add object store capabilities into HDFS. 
> As part of the federation work (HDFS-1052) we separated block storage as a 
> generic storage layer. Using the Block Pool abstraction, new kinds of 
> namespaces can be built on top of the storage layer i.e. datanodes.
> In this jira I will explore building an object store using the datanode 
> storage, but independent of namespace metadata.
> I will soon update with a detailed design document.
