Hello,
Is adding erasure coding a possibility in the future of MooseFS? I'd
like more granularity in the efficiency of redundancy than just 0%
redundancy (goal=1), 100% redundancy (goal=2), 200% redundancy (goal=3),
etc... Particularly something more space saving than goal=2 but more
safe than goal=1, something like 5 out of 6 file chunks must exist on
network for file to be reconstructed (120% redundancy).
Is this likely or would it constrain performance too much? Even so I
imagine it could be added and not used by the more performance sensitive
users. And obviously if in use one would want to set goal=1 as erasure
coding would make replication of chunks pointless.
I realize there are other filesystems with erasure builtin, but they all
seem to lack the right amount of polish, stability and ease of use/setup
that MooseFS seems to have.
Thanks
