摘要:
A distributed data storage system breaks data into n slices and k checksums using at least one matrix-based erasure code based on matrices with invertible submatrices, stores the slices and checksums on a plurality of storage elements, retrieves the slices from the storage elements, and, when slices have been lost or corrupted, retrieves the checksums from the storage elements and restores the data using the at least one matrix-based erasure code and the checksums. In a method for ensuring restoration and integrity of data in computer-related applications, data is broken into n pieces, k checksums are calculated using at least one matrix-based erasure code based on matrices with invertible submatrices, and the n data pieces and k checksums are stored on n+k storage elements or transmitted over a network. If, upon retrieving the n pieces from the storage elements or network, pieces have been lost or corrupted, the checksums are retrieved and the data is restored using the matrix-based erasure code and the checksums.
摘要:
A distributed heterogeneous or homogeneous file storage system divides logical responsibility for data from actual control of the data by using separate file and storage managers. Each file manager provides access to stored files and stores metadata associated with each of the files for which it is responsible. A file manager control component allocates responsibilities among file managers, assigns management responsibilities for individual files, and maintains a record of which files are assigned to each manager. Each storage manager is responsible for managing storage of files on data storage devices and maintains a record of the location of each stored file. A storage manager control component allocates responsibilities among storage managers, assigns responsibilities for individual files, and maintains a record of which files and storage devices are assigned to each manager. A client provides user access, initiates actions within the system, and implements a redundant data recovery and reconstruction scheme.
