-----------------------------------
The other note is that we have a JIRA to add LRC support (HDFS-7345) but it's
patent encumbered by Microsoft.

> ReedSolomon encoding (n, k) has n storage nodes and can tolerate n-k
> failures. Regenerating a block needs to access k blocks. This is a problem
> when n and k are large. Instead, we can use simple regenerating codes (n, k,
> f) that does first does ReedSolomon (n,k) and then does XOR with f stripe
> size. Then, a single disk failure needs to access only f nodes and f can be
> very small.
