Erasure coding in windows azure storage
Cheng Huang,Huseyin Simitci,Yikang Xu,Aaron W. Ogus,Brad Calder,Parikshit Gopalan,Jin Li,Sergey Yekhanin +7 more
TL;DR: This paper describes how LRC is used in WAS to provide low overhead durable storage with consistently low read latencies, and introduces a new set of codes for erasure coding called Local Reconstruction Codes (LRC).

Erasure coding immutable data
TL;DR: In this article, a sealed extent is defined as a set of data blocks and index blocks that can be used for erasure coding in a distributed computing environment, where the data fragments and the coding fragments may also be stored in the distributed environment.
Patent
Multiple transaction logs in a distributed storage system
Manish Chablani,Devaraju Jegan,Yikang Xu,Muhammad Junaid Shahid,Andrew James Edwards,Bradley Gene Calder,Ju Wang,Aaron W. Ogus,Mainali Shane Kumar,Krishnan Varadarajan,Seela Pradeep +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a transaction component receives a request to execute a transaction using a log stream from a partition of the distributed storage system, where the performance metrics indicate a performance capacity of a selected log stream to process the request.
Patent
Hybrid garbage collection in a distrubuted storage system
Cheng Huang,Andrew James Edwards,Mainali Shane Kumar,Aaron W. Ogus,Ioan Oltean,Huseyin Simitci,Ju Wang,Bradley Gene Calder,Yikang Xu +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed storage system operates based on independent management of metadata of extent and stream data storage resources, and a hybrid garbage collection system based on reference counting garbage collection operations and mark-and-sweep garbage collection operation is implemented.
