The repair problem in distributed storage addresses recovery of the data encoded using an erasure code, for instance, a Reed-Solomon (RS) code. We consider the problem of repairing a single node or multiple nodes in RS-coded storage systems…
An $(n,k,\ell)$-vector MDS code is a $\mathbb{F}$-linear subspace of $(\mathbb{F}^\ell)^n$ (for some field $\mathbb{F}$) of dimension $k\ell$, such that any $k$ (vector) symbols of the codeword suffice to determine the remaining $r=n-k$…

A major issue of locally repairable codes is their robustness. If a local repair group is not able to perform the repair process, this will result in increasing the repair cost. Therefore, it is critical for a locally repairable code to…

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)…
Locally repairable codes enables fast repair of node failure in a distributed storage system. The code symbols in a codeword are stored in different storage nodes, such that a disk failure can be recovered by accessing a small fraction of…
