------------------------------------------
Hi [~lewuathe],
thank you for your updated patch, but I am sorry that I think I missed a few
critical issues in the patch.
First of all, ec codecs are specified without implementation -- For example,
DFSStripedoutputStream called {{CodecUtil.createRawEncoder}} but currently all
defined schemas specifies either rs-default, rs-legacy or xor. It should be
intuitive that codecs are not implementation-specific, that is, a native
rs-default codec implementation should be interoperable with a pure Java
rs-default codec implementation. So adding a new codec like
{{NATIVE_XOR_CODEC_NAME}} doesn't make sense.
Second, it is potentially risky to assume native codec is _always_ preferred
over Java codec implementation, for instance if native codec has a bug and we
are forced to use Java codec until the native one is fixed.
Lastly, can we follow the existing conventions used in in-transit encryption?
For example, the default value of configuration key
hadoop.security.crypto.codec.classes.aes.ctr.nopadding is
org.apache.hadoop.crypto.OpensslAesCtrCryptoCodec,
org.apache.hadoop.crypto.JceAesCtrCryptoCodec which means
OpensslAesCtrCryptoCodec is preferred over JceAesCtrCryptoCodec, but it is
configurable.
Also one nit: please use LOG.debug with curl bracket style is preferred for
performance reasons: for example, instead of
{code}
LOG.debug("Creating raw encoder by using " + rawCoderFactoryKey);
{code}
use
{code}
LOG.debug("Creating raw encoder by using {}", rawCoderFactoryKey);
{code}
> Erasure Coding codec should support fallback coder

> The current EC codec supports a single coder only (by default pure Java
> implementation). If the native coder is specified but is unavailable, it
> should fallback to pure Java implementation.
> One possible solution is to follow the convention of existing Hadoop native
> codec, such as transport encryption (see {{CryptoCodec.java}}). It supports
> fallback by specifying two or multiple coders as the value of property, and
> loads coders in order.
