Optimal repair schemes for some families of full-length reed-solomon codes
Optimal repair schemes for some families of full-length reed-solomon codes
Reed-Solomon codes have found many applications in practical storage systems, but were until recently considered unsuitable for distributed storage applications due to the widely-held belief that they have poor repair bandwidth. The work of Guruswami and Wootters (STOC'16) has shown that one can actually perform bandwidth-efficient linear repair with Reed-Solomon …
