I can not understand it.For example,if 2-missing,the value of column named 
3-replication  is 1LR+1RR.Why not 1LN+1RR?What it means?

Hi Marcell,

I've filed HDFS-11503 so we can continue discussion off of this umbrella JIRA

Hi Andrew!

Alright, we'll use the "trunk". 

Yes, the X axis is the cell/chunk size. These charts reflect preliminary speeds 
that we quickly made just to see an approximate comparison against ISA-L. We 
are currently working on a more reliable benchmark, I'll post the results when 
they are in. Theoretically our encode speed is mostly dominated by the number 
of data units and reconstruct speed by the number of lost parity units that 
needs to be repaired. 

Today we are not compatible with ISA and the built-in plugins (since our plugin 
uses the Vandermonde coefficient matrix), but we identified this problem as 
well and working actively on the Cauchy matrix implementation. Our goal is to 
be compatible and we will reach in the next few weeks.

Our RS plugin, similarly to ISA-L, is implemented in C++ and offered as a 
native binary library. The only thing needs to be shipped within the Hadoop 
framework is the glue code. Our understanding is that this is the intended way 
of shipping new native EC plugins. Some glue code is always necessary in the 
framework (like with Liberasurecode). Isn't this the case?

Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-7285:

Hi Marcell,

I recommend basing the patch off of the "trunk" branch, we've been pretty 
actively working on EC in preparation for alpha3.

I looked at the benchmark results, very interesting! I'm guessing the X axis is 
the EC cell size? We've chosen the RS parameters for our built-in EC policies 
somewhat arbitrarily, but maybe we should tune them for better performance.

Are there any patterns you see wrt the RS parameters? It looks like the #1 
factor is how many parity blocks there are, though there's some weirdness like 
10+4 being faster than 9+4. There seem to be differences based on the cell 
size, but no pattern I can see.

Another question, is the Chocolate Cloud RS implementation byte-for-byte 
compatible with the Hadoop ISA-L and Java RS coder implementations? If not, 
it'll be harder for users to experiment with CC RS since it'll require 
rewriting data. We'll also need to add a new set of EC policies, which 
increases the configuration and maintenance overhead. In this case, I'd like to 
see more clear wins and a stable native code release before we put this in a 
release.

In the meanwhile, we can also set up a development branch so you can work on 
the Hadoop integration. We've also made some progress toward pluggable EC 
policies and coder framework, though it's not done yet. If this gets finished, 
it'd be a nice way of making your RS implementation accessible to users without 
requiring it to be shipped with Hadoop itself.

The Hadoop EC framework is designed to be pluggable, however, the native EC 
codec loader assumes it uses ISA-L library (ErasureCodeNative.java), so that 
probably need to be changed.

Thanks [~sw0rdf1sh]. In addition to what Chris pointed out, you might also want 
to take a look at the discussions under HADOOP-11264; since your library is on 
the RS layer, sounds like the library can be plugged in with our coder 
framework.

Dear all!

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.

Hi Doris, this patch was meant to apply to trunk. Getting this (and all the 
related EC patches) backported to 2.7 will be a lot of work, since 2.7 and 
trunk differ quite a bit.

Hi there,

I planed to apply this patch(Consolidated-20150810.patch),could anyone 
please tell me the branch which this patch can be applied to?
And my goal is hadoopV2.7.3, is it possible to work? 

Looking forward to the answers.

Best wishes!

 on hdfs-dev and hadoop-dev mail lists to merge this feature branch to trunk 
has just passed. I will work with Andrew to merge the branch.

The Jenkins [job | https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-HDFS-7285-Merge/] is 
not showing any new failed tests. I just updated the feature branch with latest 
trunk changes. It was a force push because HDFS-8920 was committed while I test 
the git merge result locally. So I just cherry-picked HDFS-8920; there was no 
conflict.

Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-7285:

I just made another pass of the open subtasks. None of them looks like blockers 
for merging the feature branch to trunk.

The nightly Jenkins [job | 
https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-HDFS-7285-nightly/] is relatively stable. 
Most runs with massive failures are caused by stale dependencies (e.g. 
{{NoClassDefFoundError}} on {{ECSchema}}, after HDFS-8833 removed dependency on 
it). The only real test issue is {{TestWriteStripedFileWithFailure}}, which is 
flaky. But we already know that it depends on a series of open JIRAs on error 
handling in the write path (HDFS-8704, HDFS-9040). We under-estimated the 
required efforts on those JIRAs so decided to commit the test first. I think we 
can revert the patch at this phase and redo the change later.

I also just made another pass of merging trunk changes into the feature branch 
locally, and pushed the result to my personal github [repo | 
https://github.com/zhe-thoughts/hadoop/tree/HDFS-7285-merge]. A Jenkins [job | 
https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-HDFS-7285-Merge/] has been started. The 
main conflict was with HDFS-9111.

I just moved sub-tasks on write pipeline error handling to the follow-on

I agree with Jing that write pipeline error handling can be moved to follow-on. 
We should also think about whether to merge EC to branch-2, and if so, what 
should be the target version (current target version is 3.0.0).

Yep. We intend to create a throughput benchmark tool in HDFS-8968. HADOOP-11588 
is something like a micro-benchmark, which benchmarks performance at an API

Thanks Walter! I updated the {{getBlockCollection}} in my personal github repo 
and the Jenkins job has been pretty stable so far. I'll incorporate your 
suggestions and update the main HDFS-7285 branch.

Parallel write/read meant for bench-marking the perf aspects and observing any 
concurrency issues.( different clients writing different files,read files..), I 
think, we can take care in (HDFS-8968 and HADOOP-11588).

-

The merge result in HDFS-7285-20150827 LGTM. except that,
1. We have removed BlockInfo(BlockInfo from) constructor
2. Here It should be {{blocksmap.getStoredBlock(b)}}, and it could return 
{{null}};
{code}
 +  public BlockCollection getBlockCollection(Block b) { //BlockManager.java
- return blocksMap.getBlockCollection(b);
++BlockInfo storedBlock = getStoredBlock(b);
++return namesystem.getBlockCollection(storedBlock.getBlockCollectionId());
++  }
{code}
I think it's better to not to call {{getStoredBlock}} inside 
{{getBlockCollection}}. It's wired to have another {{getBlockCollection}} which 
only used in {{SequentialBlockGroupIdGenerator}}. Can it just call 
blockManager.blocksMap.getStoredBlock(..) ?

3. wrong intent
{code}
- if (file.isStriped()) {  //FSDirAttrOp.java
-   throw new UnsupportedActionException(
-   "Cannot set replication to a file with striped blocks");
- }
++  if (file.isStriped()) {
++throw new UnsupportedActionException(
++"Cannot set replication to a file with striped blocks");
++  }

Thank you very much [~brahmareddy], [~zhz]. 

{quote}
   1) snapshot feature 
   2) balancer feature
{quote}
may will be developed in future EC work, we could add these into the system 
test plan, and implement the test later. 
{quote}
   4) parallel writes  
   5) parallel reads
{quote}
I think {{parallel reads}} means more than one client try to read the same EC 
file form HDFS, right? What is {{parallel writes}} refer to, in EC system 
testing? Could you explain the scenario?

{quote}
1. Good points from Brahma Reddy Battula, I suggest that we also add HSM/mover 
tests to the list.
2. In reading tests we can distinguish stateful read and pread. Maybe we should 
test seek-and-read scenario too.
3. It seems each test scenario in the "Tips for EC Writing/Reading" section is 
systematically labeled. Will the labels be used to drive automatic testing?
{quote}

We can also add {{HSM/mover}} to the test plan, and implement it in future 
work. 

For the reading distinguish, we currently implement system test by using 
FSShell command in terminal, like {{CopyFromLocal}} and {{CopyToLocal}}. Can we 
set the client to read EC file in particular mechanism like stateful read and 
pread by terminal command? 

The labels in EC Writing/Reading tests were generated by test script during the 
test process, but it is also possible to drive automatic testing by the 
scenario labels vice versa.

I just finished another pass of "git merge" to bring HDFS-7285 branch in sync 
with trunk. There were quite a lot of conflicts so I pushed to my personal 
github [repo | https://github.com/zhe-thoughts/hadoop/tree/HDFS-7285-20150827] 
first. Also triggered a Jenkins [job | 
https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-HDFS-7285-Merge/]. Once verified I will 
update the main HDFS-7285 branch. Meanwhile let me know if you see any issues. 
Most conflicts were with HDFS-8823 and recently committed subtasks of 
HDFS-6200, in case anyone wants to take a look at how conflicts were resolved.

[~drankye] Thanks for raising the question. Since we have reached the 
conclusion to allow "git merge" in the workflow, I have merged trunk changes 
into the main HDFS-7285 branch. Going forward let's just use {{HDFS-7285}} 
branch for all commits.

I have actually deleted the intermediate {{HDFS-7285-merge}} branch. 
[~vinayrpet] Do you think we should delete the {{HDFS-7285-REBASE}} branch too, 
given that the result has been compared against and incorporated into the 
current {{HDFS-7285}} branch?

Thanks [~zhz] for the hard taking and I understand we may take some time to 
make the merging to trunk happen. Before that, I thought it would be good to 
keep moving. Think about so many follow-on issues listed in HDFS-8031 even for 
phase I, not to say we have another phase for non-striping erasure coding 
support. Having some branches for the effort, I'm wondering which branch better 
to use for the community to continuously work on and commit the follow-on 
tasks. Any thought? Thanks.

It's great to have the complete functional system tests for the striping 
support. Thanks guys!

In our side, we're working on end to end performance tests while implementing 
new erasure coders and optimizing striping codes. Related tasks: 
* Implementing ISA-L coder (about 25X than the Java coder, HADOOP-11887, 
HADOOP-11540);
* Implementing a new Java RS coder that’s both faster (6X than the existing 
Java coder) and compatible with ISA-L coder (HADOOP-12041).
* Optimizing client striping input/output stream codes (HDFS-8668 and related), 
consolidating client stateful and positional reads (HDFS-8957 and related);
* Performance benchmark test tools (HDFS-8968 and HADOOP-11588).

We're running the perf tests while tuning and optimizing the codes, and will 
provide the report when it's ready.

[~demongaorui] Thanks for the great addition to the test plan! The list of 
system functional tests looks good to me. A few questions that I think we can 
further discuss:
# Good points from [~brahmareddy], I suggest that we also add HSM/mover tests 
to the list.
# In reading tests we can distinguish stateful read and pread. Maybe we should 
test seek-and-read scenario too.
# It seems each test scenario in the "Tips for EC Writing/Reading" section is 
systematically labeled. Will the labels be used to drive automatic testing?

Thanks [~demongaorui] for uploading the 
HDFSErasureCodingSystemTestPlan-20150824.pdf.

AFAIK following can be discussed and can be considered for testcases..

1) snapshot feature 
2) balancer feature
3) block placement policy based testing like, diferent racks etc..

I feel, better to consider following also..

4) parallel writes 
5) parallel reads

Thanks Walter for reviewing the branch! I made the above changes and pushed to 
{{HDFS-7285-merge}} branch.

Jenkins [reported | 
https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-HDFS-7285-Merge/95/testReport/] 9 
failures. They are all on hadoop-common, which shouldn't be affected by EC 
changes. They all pass locally.

I'll compare the consolidated patches from this merge and Vinay's branch and 
report findings here.

I just finished step #1 and #2 above, and pushed the result of "git merge" to 
the {{HDFS-7285-merge}} branch. Jenkins [job | 
https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-HDFS-7285-Merge/] has been triggered.

Because HDFS-8801 requires major changes to the branch, this "git merge" was 
against HDFS-6407, which immediately precedes HDFS-8801 in trunk. [~jingzhao] 
has created a patch under HDFS-8909 which should be able to merge HDFS-8801 to 
the branch (I think we should keep it as a separate JIRA because it does more 
than just merging).

Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-7285:

Given the feedbacks from the common-dev [discussion | 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-common-dev/201508.mbox/%3cCAGB5D2bPWeV2Hk+67=DamWpVfLTM6nkjb_wG3n4=wan890z...@mail.gmail.com%3e],
 I think we should use "git merge" to sync HDFS-7285 branch with trunk now. 
Please comment if you have any concern.

I will do the following before updating the main HDFS-7285 branch:
# Run "git merge" on current HDFS-7285 branch agains trunk, and add one merge 
commit to resolve all conflicts so far
# Reuse the current HDFS-7285-merge branch to carry the merged result, and run 
Jenkins
# Compare the merged result with the rebased result from [~vinayrpet] on 
HDFS-7285-REBASE branch

If no major discrepancy is found, I will push the merged result to HDFS-7285 
branch and delete the intermediate branches.

I apologize for not foreseeing the complexity and size of the EC branch at the 
beginning of the project, and adjusting the git workflow accordingly. Hope we 
have cleared confusions through the above discussions. Let me know if you still 
have questions about the workflow.

[~vinayrpet] Sure, let's solicit more feedback.

Your rebase doesn't cause any additional failures: [Jenkins results |

Thanks Walter for the questions.

bq. Will you rebase HDFS-7285 weekly after squashes it?
Yes that's my plan. Actually since we are close to merging I plan to rebase 
more frequently. Currently I'm rebasing HDFS-7285-merge daily

bq. Should we squash HDFS-8854 and HDFS-8833 as well? To make the future 
rebasing easier, also to try to avoid a second squash.
[~andrew.wang] has started a discussion thread on common-dev regarding the 
rebase workflow. I'll wait until we reach a consensus there before squashing 
the 2 new big patches.

bq. The commit message is inaccurate because HDFS-7285 is not finished yet.
Good point. I'll reword it in next rebase.

bq. Then we can decide about moving this as HDFS-7285 Branch.
Great. 

I have some question [~zhz]. 
1. Will you rebase HDFS-7285 weekly after squashes it?
2. Should we squash HDFS-8854 and HDFS-8833 as well? To make the future 
rebasing easier, also to try to avoid a second squash.
3. The commit message is inaccurate because HDFS-7285 is not finished yet.

Thanks for starting jenkins job. 
I prefer to wait for sometime for others also to take a look at the rebase.

Many thanks to Vinay for the great effort! I just cherry-picked the 2 new 
commits (HDFS-8854 and HDFS-8220) to the branch. Also created a Jenkins [job | 
https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-HDFS-7285-nightly/].

I'll also compare {{HDFS-7285-REBASE}} with the consolidated patch. After that 
and verifying Jenkins results, I'll push it as {{HDFS-7285}} so we can better 
proceed with pending subtasks. I'll also move the current {{HDFS-7285}} branch 
as a backup, in case we want to reconcile differences in individual commits.

Vinayakumar B commented on HDFS-7285:

I have tried to rebase current {{HDFS-7285}} branch against the current trunk 
using {{git rebase trunk}}. It was not smooth as expected. Since I did not 
wanted to push the rebase directly onto {{HDFS-7285}}, created one more branch 
{{HDFS-7285-REBASE}}. This branch is just for reference purpose.

The advantage of this is, it retained all the commits along with message,date 
and author details, even after resolving conflicts. I skipped one commit 
purposefully HDFS-8787 to be in sync with trunk. it was just rename of files. 
other than this, no other commits got squashed.

There were 192 commits to be rebased against trunk, including the intermediate 
merge conflict resolved commits. Since I couldnt edit each and every commit to 
resolve compilation errors after each commit, resolved remaining compilation 
errors at the end, with one more commit.

If anyone wants to verify, please checkout the branch HDFS-7285-REBASE. and can 
compare against the Consolidated patch.

Since this is only for trying to check the possibility of rebase, I am not 
saying this should be considered as final branch.
If everyone feels good to go like this approach, I could do some more detailed 
rebase next week, ( may be verify the compilation after each commit ? Not sure 
whether its possible to stop for each commit rebase)

-Thanks

As explained below, I think each subtask should *at least* be committed to

For HDFS-8854, since we already have 2 versions, I think we should commit to 
both.

Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-7285:
-

[~wheat9] [~jingzhao] [~walter.k.su] Thanks for the discussion. 

bq. at the very least you will need consensuses with other contributors anyway.
Absolutely. I created the {{HDFS-7285-merge}} branch exactly because we haven't 
reached a consensus on whether / how to squash the commits in the current 
HDFS-7285 branch when rebased against trunk. Meanwhile, we do need to commit 
patches of the pending subtasks. Committing to the current HDFS-7285 branch 
will cause additional rebasing efforts. 

bq. The new feature branch Zhe proposed here is for merging the changes from 
trunk to EC dev. Still doing git rebase may be too hard now.
Thanks Jing for helping explaining it. Yes the new branch is just *HDFS-7285 
rebased against trunk* (or from another angle, merging trunk changes to EC). We 
can continue discussing how to split the git history, but the end result (the 
{{HEAD}}) won't be affected.

bq. Can we just sync HDFS-7285 with trunk?
{{HDFS-7285-merge}} is actually already synced with trunk. If we all agree, 
it's actually clearer if we push it as {{HDFS-7285}} and move the current 
{{HDFS-7285}} as a backup branch.

Walter Su commented on HDFS-7285:
-

For synchronizing branch with trunk, we can use 'git merge'. For merging branch 
to trunk, we can use 14 squashed sub-patches the way [~zhz] did. Is it weird 
that one commit has a huge commit message? We commit one sub-patch, and keep 
many jira numbers and contributors as a whole commit message for this one 
commit log. In this way, we can avoid the painful process of rebasing every 
out-of-date commit, and also can keep the contributor infos as [~szetszwo] 
suggested.
I don't know if it's weird. At least it's an option.
bq. So if you are working on one of the open subtasks, please kindly target the 
patch on HDFS-7285-merge. Ideally we should also commit to HDFS-7285 branch 
So after HDFS-8854. An open subtask has to prepare 2 patches. a 'ECPolicy' 
version for HDFS-7285-merge, and a 'ECSchema' version for HDFS-7285? Or we 
commit HDFS-8854 to both of them first? Can we just sync HDFS-7285 with trunk?

Looks like the current situation is little bit confusing :)  The new feature 
branch Zhe proposed here is for merging the changes from trunk to EC dev. Still 
doing git rebase may be too hard now.

bq. The new branch was created simply because we haven't reached an agreement 
on the rebase workflow.

I don't quite get what you are trying to achieve here. If the whole point of 
the branch, however, is about merging it back to the mainline, at the very 
least you will need consensuses with other contributors anyway. No?

[~szetszwo]: Thanks for the question.

I posted my planned rebase workflow above: [link 1| 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7285?focusedCommentId=14593827&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14593827],

  and a few other places. Based on that plan I already finished rebasing the 
branch with 14 squashed sub-patches. Then before pushing to HDFS-7285 branch we 
started revisiting HDFS-8499 and the rebase workflow.

The new branch was created simply because we haven't reached an agreement on 
the rebase workflow. It enables us to commit pending patches regardless of the 
final conclusion on rebase workflow.

Please let me know if that answers your question.

Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-7285:

[~szetszwo]:

* If you have issues with the rebase workflow, let's take it to common-dev. 
This topic applies beyond the scope of erasure coding.
* Regarding the refactors, you are talking about an SVN-style merge workflow 
rather than a git-style rebase workflow. In the case of BlockInfo, it went 
through a few mutations on the EC branch before arriving at the current state. 
This is because the understanding of BlockInfo+EC evolved over the course of 
development. It is prudent to wait until then to do the same refactoring in 
trunk, to avoid unnecessary churn on trunk.
* Regarding credit, the original contributor gets credit on the JIRA targeted 
for the branch, yes? JIRA assignee is how we credit contributors, and if there 
are multiple contributors, a JIRA comment saying as much. If you have examples, 
let's correct assignees or add comments to make sure that all contributors are 
being properly credited.

[~zhz], could you describe the workflow you are using?  We have a lot of 
confusion since there are so many merge patches; we now have a new branch; and 
we stopped rebasing the HDFS-7285 at some point.  It seems quite arbitrary.

If it is true, choosing the git rebase workflow seems a mistake.  We probably 
should switch to git merge workflow then.

> Moving refactors from branches to trunk is standard practice we've done many 
> times before and is something I recommended we do here too.

The standard practice is to have a refactor patch committed to trunk first and 
then use git to merge to the branch, not the other way around, not using 
separated patches.  Committing similar code to different branches by different 
patches makes the merge hard since the branch and trunk are going to have a lot 
of conflicts as a result of such practice.

Moreover, if separated patches are needed, we usually ask the original 
contributors to contribute a merge patch for for committing patches to 
different branches so that the original contributors get the credits but not a 
different contributor.  An original contributor A did the hard work to come up 
patches which were only committed to the development branch.  Another 
contributor B did the easy work to post similar patches for committing to 
trunk.  After the development branch got merged to trunk, no one would care 
about the development branch and all the contributions in trunk are associated 
to B but not the original contributor A.  Although the contributor B may not 
have the intention, it does look like that B is stealing the credits from A.  
Do you think that it is a problem, [~andrew.wang]?

Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-7285:
-

To better proceed with the open subtasks, I just created a branch 
{{HDFS-7285-merge}}. It applies the rebased consolidated patch 
({{Consolidated-20150810.patch}}) on top of trunk; I will rebase the branch 
daily.

The branch basically provides an up-to-date {{HEAD}} for pending patches. After 
we finalize the above rebase workflow discussion we can always update the 
branch without changing the current {{HEAD}}.

So if you are working on one of the open subtasks, please kindly target the 
patch on {{HDFS-7285-merge}}. Ideally we should also commit to {{HDFS-7285}} 
branch in case we want to keep the branch to reserve development history. If 
you have a WiP patch that's non-trivial to rebase I'm very happy to help.

Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-7285:

[~szetszwo] I never said that, what I did say was the following:

* A rebase workflow gets very difficult without the ability to squash patches, 
since you would otherwise spend a lot of time fixing conflicts in intermediate 
commits that don't even show up in HEAD. We have 180 some commits in the EC 
branch now, and is definitely at the "very difficult" stage of rebasing.
* Moving refactors from branches to trunk is standard practice we've done many 
times before and is something I recommended we do here too.

[~zhz], could you describe the git rebase workflow we are using?  In a 
separated discussion, [~andrew.wang] claimed that our git rebase workflow 
requires committing some patches to trunk before merging the branch.  I wonder 
if you feel the same way.

Similar for the changes on INodeFile. In general I suggest let's try our best 
to separate the code change from the merging. We're now merging the changes 
from trunk back to HDFS-7285, thus it will be much faster and safer to make the 
merged code same with the current HDFS-7285 branch. For all the other changes 
we can do them later as subtasks under HDFS-7285.

Thanks for the work, Zhe! So for the BlockInfoStriped related work, I suggest 
opening a separate jira under HDFS-7285 and post the main changes (from the 
current HDFS-7285 implementation) there. This can simplify the review. Also is 
it possible that we can defer this change after merging the remaining code?

Thanks Vinay for the great effort! When I finish my current pass to divide the

 ] 

Kai Zheng commented on HDFS-7285:
-

There're some changes in the patch 1 (for codec) that should be placed 
elsewhere.
In {{FSOutputSummer}}, better for 9 (datanode support)
{code}
+  protected DataChecksum getDataChecksum() {
+return sum;
+  }
{code}
In {{FsShell}}, better for 7 (client side support)
{code}
+  protected String getUsagePrefix() {
+return usagePrefix;
+  }
{code}

I will continue to look at some other parts. And by the way, I'm going to move 
left codec issues planned for HDFS-7285 to the follow-on issue since I don't 
want to interrupt this pre-merge effort.

Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-7285:

I just finished another pass of the consolidated patch. The github [repo | 
https://github.com/zhe-thoughts/hadoop/tree/HDFS-EC-Merge] has the latest code. 
I divided the consolidated patch into 13 sub-patches. Please let me know if the 
list looks reasonable to you.
{code}
13. Balancer and mover support for striped block groups
12. Support striped block groups in fsimage and edit logs
11. Change fsck to support EC files
10. Add striped block support in INodeFile.
9. Datanode support
8. Distribute recovery work for striped blocks to DataNode.
7. Client side support
6. Create LocatedStripedBlock abstraction to represent striped block groups.
5. BlockPlacementPolicies for erasure coding
4. Allocate and manage striped blocks in NameNode blockmanagement module.
3. Extend BlockInfo to handle striped block groups.
2. Support Erasure Coding Zones.
1. HADOOP-COMMON side support for codec calculations.
{code}

I still haven't added tests to the sub-patches. Also the {{INodeFile}} 
implementation is still being discussed. They'll be addressed in the next pass.

In the next pass, to ensure we capture all latest branch changes, I will do the 
following:
# Take a latest consolidated patch from HDFS-7285
# Examine each file (if necessary, each diff in a file) in the patch and fit 
them into one of the 13 sub-patches (or discard as pre-merged changes).

The consolidated patch has roughly 25k lines of code. So any volunteered help 
is much appreciated :)

Comments on github branch(PoC-20150624.patch):
1. You missed merge {{INodeFile#getLastBlock}} and {{numBlocks}} to github 
branch.
2. I run test, and saw NPE. It'll fix after HDFS-8653 merges into trunk.
3. Please remove this line because NPE when lastBlock==null.

bq. As Jing and myself commented under HDFS-8058, the downside is weaker type 
safety.
Hmm. I was worrying mixed types of UC/non-UC. You are worrying mixed types of 
striped/contiguous. Isn't type check in {{setBlock}} enough? I don't know.
