Erasure-correcting codes, that support local repair of codeword symbols, have attracted substantial attention recently for their application in distributed storage systems. This paper investigates a generalization of the usual locally repairable codes. In particular, this paper studies a class of codes with the following property: any small set of codeword symbols can be reconstructed (repaired) from a small number of other symbols. This is referred to as cooperative local repair. The main contribution of this paper is bounds on the trade-off of the minimum distance and the dimension of such codes, as well as explicit constructions of families of codes that enable cooperative local repair. Some other results regarding cooperative local repair are also presented, including an analysis for the well-known Hadamard/Simplex codes.

Recently, the research on local repair codes is mainly confined to repair the failed nodes within each repair group. But if the extreme cases occur that the entire repair group has failed, the local code stored in the failed group need to be recovere d as a whole. In this paper, local codes with cooperative repair, in which the local codes are constructed based on minimum storage regeneration (MSR) codes, is proposed to achieve repairing the failed groups. Specifically, the proposed local codes with cooperative repair construct a kind of mutual interleaving structure among the parity symbols, that the parity symbols of each local code, named as distributed local parity, can be generated by the parity symbols of the MSR codes in its two adjacent local codes. Taking advantage of the structure given, the failed local groups can be repaired cooperatively by their adjacent local groups with lower repair locality, and meanwhile the minimum distance of local codes with cooperative repair is derived. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments show that, compared with codes with local regeneration (such as MSR-local codes and MBR-local codes), the proposed local codes with cooperative repair have benefits in bandwidth overhead and repair locality for the case of local groups failure.
This paper studies the problem of repairing secret sharing schemes, i.e., schemes that encode a message into $n$ shares, assigned to $n$ nodes, so that any $n-r$ nodes can decode the message but any colluding $z$ nodes cannot infer any information ab out the message. In the event of node failures so that shares held by the failed nodes are lost, the system needs to be repaired by reconstructing and reassigning the lost shares to the failed (or replacement) nodes. This can be achieved trivially by a trustworthy third-party that receives the shares of the available nodes, recompute and reassign the lost shares. The interesting question, studied in the paper, is how to repair without a trustworthy third-party. The main issue that arises is repair security: how to maintain the requirement that any colluding $z$ nodes, including the failed nodes, cannot learn any information about the message, during and after the repair process? We solve this secure repair problem from the perspective of secure multi-party computation. Specifically, we design generic repair schemes that can securely repair any (scalar or vector) linear secret sharing schemes. We prove a lower bound on the repair bandwidth of secure repair schemes and show that the proposed secure repair schemes achieve the optimal repair bandwidth up to a small constant factor when $n$ dominates $z$, or when the secret sharing scheme being repaired has optimal rate. We adopt a formal information-theoretic approach in our analysis and bounds. A main idea in our schemes is to allow a more flexible repair model than the straightforward one-round repair model implicitly assumed by existing secure regenerating codes. Particularly, the proposed secure repair schemes are simple and efficient two-round protocols.
High availability of containerized applications requires to perform robust storage of applications state. Since basic replication techniques are extremely costly at scale, storage space requirements can be reduced by means of erasure or repairing cod es. In this paper we address storage regeneration using repair codes, a robust distributed storage technique with no need to fully restore the whole state in case of failure. In fact, only the lost servers content is replaced. To do so, new cleanslate storage units are made operational at a cost for activating new storage servers and a cost for the transfer of repair data. Our goal is to guarantee maximal availability of containers state files by a given deadline. activation of servers and communication cost. Upon a fault occurring at a subset of the storage servers, we aim at ensuring that they are repaired by a given deadline. We introduce a controlled fluid model and derive the optimal activation policy to replace servers under such correlated faults. The solution concept is the optimal control of regeneration via the Pontryagin minimum principle. We characterise feasibility conditions and we prove that the optimal policy is of threshold type. Numerical results describe how to apply the model for system dimensioning and show the tradeoff between
This chapter deals with the topic of designing reliable and efficient codes for the storage and retrieval of large quantities of data over storage devices that are prone to failure. For long, the traditional objective has been one of ensuring reliabi lity against data loss while minimizing storage overhead. More recently, a third concern has surfaced, namely of the need to efficiently recover from the failure of a single storage unit, corresponding to recovery from the erasure of a single code symbol. We explain here, how coding theory has evolved to tackle this fresh challenge.
A distributed storage system (DSS) needs to be efficiently accessible and repairable. Recently, considerable effort has been made towards the latter, while the former is usually not considered, since a trivial solution exists in the form of systemati c encoding. However, this is not a viable option when considering storage that has to be secure against eavesdroppers. This work investigates the problem of efficient access to data stored on an DSS under such security constraints. Further, we establish methods to balance the access load, i.e., ensure that each node is accessed equally often. We establish the capacity for the alphabet independent case and give an explicit code construction. For the alphabet-dependent case we give existence results based on a random coding argument.
