Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze commented on HDFS-7353:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks for the update.  The new patch looks much better!

> ... It's not "length in bytes", but regarding how many stripping units. A 
> unit can be a byte, a chunk or buffer and even a block.

How about renaming dataSize() and paritySize() to dataUnit() and parityUnit()?  
BTW, the above sentence should be added to the javadoc. e.g.
{code}
+  /**
+   * The number of data stripping units for the coding.  A unit can be a byte, 
a chunk or buffer and even a block.
+   * @return
+   */
+  public int dataUnit() {
{code}

Some other comments:
- "A wrapper for ByteBuffer or bytes array" => "A wrapper for ByteBuffer or 
bytes array for a erasure code chunk."

- AbstractRawErasureDecoder still has javadoc "An abstract raw erasure decoder 
class".  It needs more description.

- The @inheritDoc tags can be removed.  Having a @Override tag is good enough.

- For RawErasureDecoder/RawErasureEncoder, we only need to provide the new 
comment other than the ones in RawErasureCoder and have a reference to 
RawErasureCoder, e.g.
{code}
/**
 * RawErasureDecoder performs decoding given chunks of input data and generates 
missing data that
 * corresponds to an erasure code scheme, like XOR and Reed-Solomon. 
 * It implements the {@link RawErasureCoder} interface.
 */
{code}
