Space Efficiency in HDFS using erasure-coding

A simple replication-based mechanism has been used to achieve high data reliability of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). However, replication based mechanisms have high degree of disk storage requirement since it makes copies of full block without consideration of storage size. 
Using erasure-coding we can reduce the storage size of HDFS. Erasure codes store data objects as equations thus reducing much of the storage cost.
