Wittawat Tantisiriroj commented on MAPREDUCE-2036:
--------------------------------------------------

1) Yes, it is a great idea. Please let me know how I can help integrate it with 
the current RAID
2) Before reducing the replication, I would like to make sure that no block in 
the same group located on the same datanode. I have been working on a tool 
(similar Balancer) to migrate blocks so that no block in the same group located 
on the same datanode. 
3) I agree. However, it would make sense to store parity files inside a HAR 
directory?

Plus, I am also working on porting RS codes from Jerasure 
(http://www.cs.utk.edu/~plank/plank/papers/CS-08-627.html), so it can support 
more than 2 parities.

> Features:
> 1) HAR-like Tool
> 2) RAID5/RAID6 & pluggable interface to implement additional coding
> 3) Enable to group blocks across files
> 4) Portable across cluster since all necessary metadata is embedded
> While it was developed separately from HAR or RAID due to time constraints, 
> it would make sense to integrate with either of them.
