Erasure codes are widely deployed and used with Swift. You're right that EC is
definitely more expensive, though. It will take more CPU and quite a bit more
network management (more connections). Interestingly, the CPU overhead for the
EC algorithms isn't all that much (small single-digit percen
Hi,
I wanted to understand the stability of the erasure coding feature in
openstack swift. Is it in widespread production use?
We're exploring the possibility of using EC instead of replication on
few of our servers which are not so loaded in terms of storage
capacity.
Also, I expect EC to be more
