Node failures are inevitable in distributed storage systems (DSS). To enable efficient repair when faced with such failures, two main techniques are known: Regenerating codes, i.e., codes that minimize the total repair bandwidth; and codes…

Due to the use of commodity software and hardware, crash-stop and Byzantine failures are likely to be more prevalent in today's large-scale distributed storage systems. Regenerating codes have been shown to be a more efficient way to…

We consider the rack-aware storage system where $n=\bar{n}u$ nodes are organized in $\bar{n}$ racks each containing $u$ nodes, and any $k=\bar{k}u+u_0~(0\leq u_0<u)$ nodes can retrieve the original data file. More importantly, the…

In a distributed storage system based on erasure coding, an important problem is the \emph{repair problem}: If a node storing a coded piece fails, in order to maintain the same level of reliability, we need to create a new encoded piece and…
