Marcell Feher commented on HDFS-11503:
--------------------------------------
We gave this a thought within the company.
Going open-source is not an option, but a freely available version might be
possible. Do you think it's possible to limit the free version to
non-commercial uses? In this case we could make a version freely available for
testing, benchmarks, evaluation, educational and NGO use-cases, etc, but still
make some profit when it's used in a commercial setup.

> Quote from Marcell on HDFS-7285:
> First of all let me introduce ourselves: we are Chocolate Cloud from Denmark,
> we use erasure coding to improve storage solutions. We already have
> Reed-Solomon and Random Linear Network Coding backends for Liberasurecode,
> and now we are at the final stage of developing our RS plugin to HDFS-EC. The
> performance of our plugin is similar to ISA-L's, in some configurations we
> are better, in others we are worse (our initial speed comparison charts can
> be found here: https://www.chocolate-cloud.cc/Plugins/HDFS-EC/hdfs.html).
> We would like our plugin to become officially supported in Hadoop 3.0. We can
> already provide a preliminary version of our (native) library and a patch
> with the necessary glue code for the next alpha release.
> I'd like to know your thoughts about whether it's possible and how it could
> be achieved.
> P.S: I'm happy to share more details if there's interest
