Data Reconstruction in Distributed Storage Systems - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18605084 titled 'Data Reconstruction in Distributed Storage Systems

The abstract describes a method for operating a distributed storage system by identifying missing chunks of a file, dividing the file into stripes with data and non-data chunks, and reconstructing missing data chunks before non-data chunks using available non-missing chunks.

  • The method involves identifying missing chunks of a file in a distributed storage system.
  • The file is divided into stripes containing data chunks and non-data chunks.
  • Non-missing chunks are identified for reconstructing the missing chunks.
  • Missing data chunks are reconstructed before missing non-data chunks using available non-missing chunks.

Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Cloud computing - Data recovery services

Problems Solved: - Efficient reconstruction of missing data chunks in a distributed storage system - Improved data integrity and availability

Benefits: - Enhanced data reliability - Faster data recovery processes - Optimal resource utilization

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Data Recovery System for Distributed Storage" This technology can be used in cloud storage services, data centers, and disaster recovery solutions. It can improve data reliability and recovery speed, making it valuable for businesses handling large volumes of data.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve data recovery efficiency in distributed storage systems? 2. What are the key advantages of reconstructing missing data chunks before non-data chunks in the storage system?


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a distributed storage system, the method includes identifying missing chunks of a file. The file is divided into stripes that include data chunks and non-data chunks. The method also includes identifying non-missing chunks available for reconstructing the missing chunks and reconstructing missing data chunks before reconstructing missing non-data chunks using the available non-missing chunks.
