----------------------------------

Is anybody know how to build this patch on Hadoop v2.2.0 ?

> The goal of this JIRA is to discuss how the cost of raw storage for a HDFS file system can be reduced. Keeping three copies of the same data is very costly, especially when the size of storage is huge. One idea is to reduce the replication factor and do erasure coding of a set of blocks so that the over probability of failure of a block remains the same as before.
> Many forms of error-correcting codes are available, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasure_code. Also, recent research from CMU has described DiskReduce https://opencirrus.org/system/files/Gibson-OpenCirrus-June9-09.ppt.
> My opinion is to discuss implementation strategies that are not part of base HDFS, but is a layer on top of HDFS.
