Alpha Entanglement Codes: Practical Erasure Codes to Archive Data in Unreliable Environments. (arXiv:1810.02974v1 [cs.DC])
来源于:arXiv
Data centres that use consumer-grade disks drives and distributed
peer-to-peer systems are unreliable environments to archive data without enough
redundancy. Most redundancy schemes are not completely effective for providing
high availability, durability and integrity in the long-term. We propose alpha
entanglement codes, a mechanism that creates a virtual layer of highly
interconnected storage devices to propagate redundant information across a
large scale storage system. Our motivation is to design flexible and practical
erasure codes with high fault-tolerance to improve data durability and
availability even in catastrophic scenarios. By flexible and practical, we mean
code settings that can be adapted to future requirements and practical
implementations with reasonable trade-offs between security, resource usage and
performance. The codes have three parameters. Alpha increases storage overhead
linearly but increases the possible paths to recover data exponentially. Two
