Kai Zheng created HADOOP-12065: ---------------------------------- Summary: Using more meaningful keys in EC schema Key: HADOOP-12065 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12065 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Kai Zheng Assignee: Kai Zheng
Commented by [~szetszwo] in HADOOP-12029: bq. We should also change "k" and "m" in the following to something like "numDataUnits" and "numParityUnits". {code} public static final String NUM_DATA_UNITS_KEY = "k"; public static final String NUM_PARITY_UNITS_KEY = "m"; {code} This sounds good to me, as in fact in many erasure coding related papers, discussions, and implementations, though {{k}} and {{m}} are broadly used, the meanings are not consistent. For example, {{m}} can also mean {{numDataUnits + numParityUnits}}, all the rows in the coding matrix. The suggested names are more clear and explicit. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
