Weiyan Wang commented on HDFS-3544:
-----------------------------------
Chris, Sorry for the late reply, we are actually not working on this because of
the bandwidth. For cold files, we still use (14, 10) Reed Solomon to save
spaces right now.

> 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.
