Thanks, Dhruba.

> The goal of this JIRA is to discuss how the cost of raw storage for a HDFS
> file system can be reduced. Keeping three copies of the same data is very
> costly, especially when the size of storage is huge. One idea is to reduce
> the replication factor and do erasure coding of a set of blocks so that the
> over probability of failure of a block remains the same as before.
> Many forms of error-correcting codes are available, see
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasure_code. Also, recent research from CMU has
> described DiskReduce
> https://opencirrus.org/system/files/Gibson-OpenCirrus-June9-09.ppt.
> My opinion is to discuss implementation strategies that are not part of base
> HDFS, but is a layer on top of HDFS.
