After looking at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YHvYkcse-k
I have a question (that follows on from Bruno's) about using erasure
coding with geo replication.
Now the example given to show why you could/should not use erasure
coding with geo replication is somewhat flawed as it is immediately
clear that you cannot set:
- num_data_frags > num_devices (or nodes) in a region
and expect to survive a region outage...
With that I mind I did some experiments (Liberty swift) and it looks to
me like if you have:
- num_data_frags < num_nodes in (smallest) region
and:
- num_parity_frags = num_data_frags
then having a region fail does not result in service outage.
So my real question is - it looks like it *is* possible to use erasure
coding in geo replicated situations - however I may well be missing
something significant, so I'd love some clarification here [1]!
Cheers
