Ever since its creation, HDFS has been relying on data replication to shield against most failure scenarios. However, with the explosive growth in data volume, replication is getting expensive: the default 3x replication scheme incurs a 200% storage overhead. Erasure coding (EC) uses far less storage space while still providing the same level of fault tolerance. Under typical configurations, EC reduces the storage cost by ~50% compared with 3x replication.

In this talk we will introduce the design and implementation of HDFS-EC, and recommended use cases. We will also provide preliminary performance results. Equipped with the Intel ISA-L library, HDFS-EC has largely eliminated the computational overhead in codec calculation. Under sequential I/O workloads, it achieves twice the throughput compared with 3x replication, by performing striped I/O to multiple DataNodes in parallel.
