> Erasure Coding: Improve memory efficiency of BlockInfoStriped
> Assume we have a BlockInfoStriped:
> {noformat}
> triplets[] = {s0, s1, s2, s3}
> indices[] = {0, 1, 2, 3}
> {noformat}
> {{s0}} means {{storage_0}}
> When we run balancer/mover to re-locate replica on s2, firstly it becomes:
> {noformat}
> triplets[] = {s0, s1, s2, s3, s4}
> indices[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 2}
> {noformat}
> Then the replica on s2 is removed, finally it becomes:
> {noformat}
> triplets[] = {s0, s1, null, s3, s4}
> indices[] = {0, 1, -1, 3, 2}
> {noformat}
> The worst case is:
> {noformat}
> triplets[] = {null, null, null, null, s4, s5, s6, s7}
> indices[] = {-1, -1, -1, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}
> {noformat}
> We should learn from {{BlockInfoContiguous.removeStorage(..)}}. When a
> storage is removed, we move the last item front.
> With the improvement, the worst case become:
> {noformat}
> triplets[] = {s4, s5, s6, s7, null}
> indices[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, -1}
> {noformat}
> We have an empty slot.
> Notes:
> Assume we copy 4 storage first, then delete 4. Even with the improvement, the
> worst case could be:
> {noformat}
> triplets[] = {s4, s5, s6, s7, null, null, null, null}
> indices[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, -1, -1, -1, -1}
> {noformat}
> But the Balancer uses {{delHint}}. So when add one will always delete one. So
> this case won't happen for striped and contiguous blocks.
> *idx_i must be moved to slot_i.* So slot_i will have idx_i. So we can do
> further improvement in HDFS-8032.
