This requests sound reasonable.
This work may be worked together for the replicator-optimization patch. We will work on the patch.
Any other feedback?

Subject: Re: [Openstack] ask for comments - Light weight Erasure code framework for swift

Overall I've never been super enthusiastic about erasure codes for swift.  Figuring out which blocks are missing then re-assembling them is a lot more difficult and expensive than what we do now.

But if you can come up with a good scheme for identifying missing blocks and it doesn't double the amount of code in Swift, I'm sure we all have use cases where we'd trade latency for disk usage.
