Two widely studied models of multiple-node repair in distributed storage systems are centralized repair and cooperative repair. The centralized model assumes that all the failed nodes are recreated in one location, while the cooperative one…
Locality enables storage systems to recover failed nodes from small subsets of surviving nodes. The setting where nodes are partitioned into subsets, each allowing for local recovery, is well understood. In this work we consider a…
Cooperative regenerating codes are designed for repairing multiple node failures in distributed storage systems. In contrast to the original repair model of regenerating codes, which are for the repair of single node failure, data exchange…
Repair operations in distributed storage systems potentially expose the data to malicious acts of passive eavesdroppers or active adversaries, which can be detrimental to the security of the system. This paper presents erasure codes and…
Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are widely used in distributed storage, but naively repairing a single failure in an $(n,k)$ MDS code requires downloading the full contents of $k$ surviving nodes. Minimum storage regenerating (MSR)…
Partial maximum distance separable (PMDS) codes are a kind of erasure codes where the nodes are divided into multiple groups with each forming an MDS code with a smaller code length, thus they allow repairing a failed node with only a few…
We investigate the distance properties of linear locally recoverable codes (LRC codes) with all-symbol locality and availability. New upper and lower bounds on the minimum distance of such codes are derived. The upper bound is based on the…
A code over a finite alphabet is called locally recoverable (LRC) if every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number (at most $r$) other symbols. We present a family of LRC codes that attain the maximum possible value of the…
One of the primary objectives of a distributed storage system is to reliably store a large amount $dsize$ of source data for a long duration using a large number $N$ of unreliable storage nodes, each with capacity $nsize$. The storage…
In distributed storage systems that employ erasure coding, the issue of minimizing the total {\it repair bandwidth} required to exactly regenerate a storage node after a failure arises. This repair bandwidth depends on the structure of the…
Erasure coding has been recognized as a powerful method to mitigate delays due to slow or straggling nodes in distributed systems. This work shows that erasure coding of data objects can flexibly handle skews in the request rates. Coding…
In error-correcting codes, locality refers to several different ways of quantifying how easily a small amount of information can be recovered from encoded data. In this work, we study a notion of locality called the s-Disjoint-Repair-Group…
Recently, locally repairable codes (LRCs) with local erasure correction constraints that are unequal and disjoint have been proposed. In this work, we study the same topic and provide some improved and additional results.
The paper is devoted to the problem of erasure coding in distributed storage. We consider a model of storage that assumes that nodes are organized into equally sized groups, called racks, that within each group the nodes can communicate…
Erasure codes are being increasingly used in distributed-storage systems in place of data-replication, since they provide the same level of reliability with much lower storage overhead. We consider the problem of constructing explicit…
A new class of exact-repair regenerating codes is constructed by stitching together shorter erasure correction codes, where the stitching pattern can be viewed as block designs. The proposed codes have the "help-by-transfer" property where…
In a distributed storage system, recovering from multiple failures is a critical and frequent task that is crucial for maintaining the system's reliability and fault-tolerance. In this work, we focus on the problem of repairing multiple…
This paper investigates the use of redundancy and self repairing against node failures in distributed storage systems, using various strategies. In replication method, access to one replication node is sufficient to reconstruct a lost node,…
Minimum storage regenerating codes have minimum storage of data in each node and therefore are maximal distance separable (MDS for short) codes. Thus, the number of nodes is upper bounded by $2^{\fb}$, where $\fb$ is the bits of data stored…
We investigate one possible generalization of locally recoverable codes (LRC) with all-symbol locality and availability when recovering sets can intersect in a small number of coordinates. This feature allows us to increase the achievable…
