Abstract

In large scale cloud storage system, storage nodes fail frequently because of disk/link failures. In order to preserve data's reliability and availability, storage systems need to store redundant data. Most of the data recovery mechanisms for erasure codes think that there is no difference among storage nodes. In the actual distributed storage systems, however, there are some heterogeneities in the bandwidth, computing resources and storage capacity of the storage nodes, which have a great influence on the redundant data recovery performance. This paper presented data repair operation process in erasure code technology under heterogeneous environment, and identified the key factors that affected the recovery performance. Thereafter, it chose bandwidth cost, disk access overhead, repair time, the number of nodes participating in the repair and repair cost as the evaluation criterion for the recovery performance. In addition, it analyzed how to reduce these five costs by the existing research methods, and focused on the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Finally, this paper indicated some unsolved problems in the research of erasure code repair method in the current heterogeneous storage systems and the possible development direction of the future erasure code repair method.
