  • Optimized data layout for object store system
    Patent number: 10289326
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of an optimized data layout in an erasure coded storage system. The system may be realized as a deterministic layout of storage devices in an erasure coded storage system. The system implements a method for writing pieces of a data object across storage devices of a specified write set included an erasure coded storage subsystem. The system further implements a method for reading a subset of pieces of a data object from an active read subset of storage devices in a read set included in the erasure coded storage subsystem and restoring the data object from the subset of pieces. The system may further include operating an inactive read subset of storage devices in a read set in a low power mode.
