------------------------------------

Hi [~rashmikv], 

Sorry for not seeing your question and the late reply. By compatible or 
inter-operable, I mean the encoded data by a coder can be decoded by another 
coder. The new Java coder is compatible with the native ISA-L coder in this 
sense. In some environment in your clients you may not have Hadoop native setup 
so only pure Java solution will do the work, but your other clients and the 
cluster use Hadoop native so the native ISA-L based coder can work for better 
performance. In other words, it's possible to use more than one coder 
implementations in a cluster and its clients, so the requirement for such 
implementation should be compatible with others, otherwise the data will be 
messy.

> [Hitchhiker | 
> http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~nihar/publications/Hitchhiker_SIGCOMM14.pdf] is 
> a new erasure coding algorithm developed as a research project at UC 
> Berkeley. It has been shown to reduce network traffic and disk I/O by 25%-45% 
> during data reconstruction while retaining the same storage capacity and 
> failure tolerance capability as RS codes. This JIRA aims to introduce 
> Hitchhiker to the HDFS-EC framework, as one of the pluggable codec algorithms.
> The existing implementation is based on HDFS-RAID.
