  • Publication number: 20240354194
    Abstract: Encoding methods based on erasure code are disclosed, and a distributed system, a device and a storage medium are provided. The method comprises: acquiring K data blocks of data to be processed; dividing the K data blocks into L data groups, wherein each data group at least comprises K encoding parameters respectively corresponding to the K data blocks, and K and L are integers greater than 1; and for each data group, performing encoding by using at least part of data blocks in other data groups and encoding parameters, which correspond to the at least part of data blocks, in the present data group, to generate a local reconstruction parity block of the present data group. The data groups and the local reconstruction parity blocks are stored in data nodes of a distributed system.

  • Publication number: 20240345917
    Abstract: A parity block generation method and apparatus. The method comprises: for a plurality of original data blocks for which parity blocks are to be generated, determining (102) a global coding matrix for the plurality of original data blocks; for each local domain that is obtained by dividing the plurality of original data blocks, determining (104) a local coding matrix of the local domain on the basis of the global coding matrix, wherein each local domain comprises original data blocks that belong to the local domain; and generating (106), on the basis of the global coding matrix, global parity blocks for the plurality of original data blocks, and generating, on the basis of the local coding matrix of each local domain, a local reconstruction parity block of each local domain, such that the global parity blocks have a derivation relationship with the local reconstruction parity block of each local domain.

  • Patent number: 11210169
    Abstract: Data storage method, apparatus, and system are disclosed. The data storage method includes: encoding a data block using an erasure coding to obtain corresponding multiple data fragments; separately writing the multiple data fragments to corresponding allocated storage nodes; and determining that writing of the data block is successful if a number of storage nodes to which data fragments is successfully written within a first defined time duration is greater than or equal to a defined value, wherein the defined value is greater than or equal to a number of data block fragments in the multiple data fragments and is less than or equal to a number of the multiple data fragments. As such, the latency of a data write can be reduced, and the performance stability can be improved when a storage node encounters a failure.
