Chenyu Zheng commented on HDFS-17521:
-------------------------------------
Possible calculation errors have always been the reason why we have not used EC
on a very large scale. So I think this is a very important fix.
[~weichiu] [~hexiaoqiao] Can you please review this?
> Erasure Coding: Fix calculation errors caused by special index order
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-17521
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-17521
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Chenyu Zheng
> Assignee: Chenyu Zheng
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> I found that if the erasedIndexes distribution is such that the parity index
> is in front of the data index, ec will produce wrong results when decoding.
> In fact, HDFS-15186 has described this problem, but does not fundamentally
> solve it.
> The reason is that the code assumes that erasedIndexes is preceded by the
> data index and followed by parity index. If there is a parity index placed in
> front of the data index, a calculation error will occur.
