Scale-out erasure coding

1. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

storing, across first nodes of a network-based storage system, data fragments associated with a chunk of data, wherein the storing comprises storing the data fragments as respective groups of adjacent data sub-fragments;

storing, within a second node of the network-based storage system, a first coding fragment associated with the data fragments, wherein the storing comprises storing the first coding fragment as a group of adjacent coding sub-fragments; and

in response to determining that a set of additional nodes, of the network-based storage system other than the first nodes or the second node, have been added to the network-based storage system,

moving a portion of the respective groups of adjacent data sub-fragments to the set of additional nodes, and

combining the group of adjacent coding sub-fragments to generate a second coding fragment different than the first coding fragment.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the combining comprises adding the group of adjacent coding sub-fragments together to generate the second coding fragment.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the combining comprises performing an exclusive disjunction operation with respect to at least two adjacent coding sub-fragments of the group of adjacent coding sub-fragments.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

storing, within the second node, the second coding fragment; and

deleting the first coding fragment.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first coding fragment is determined based on defined coding matrix data.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data fragments and the first coding fragment are determined based on an erasure coding process and the operations further comprise:

in response to the determining, updating the erasure coding process resulting in an updated erasure coding process.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the updating comprises updating the erasure coding process based on an analysis that compares a capacity benefit of the updated erasure coding process relative to a cost associated with data re-protection via the updated erasure coding process.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the updating comprises updating the erasure coding process to increase a defined measure of capacity use efficiency for the network-based storage system.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the updating comprises updating the erasure coding process to satisfy a defined tolerance criterion associated with a number of node failures determined to have been endured by the network-based storage system.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network-based storage system comprises an object storage system.

11. A method, comprising:

based on an erasure coding scheme, determining, by a system comprising a processor, data fragments and a coding fragment associated with a chunk of data;

storing, within different nodes of an object storage system, the data fragments as respective groups of adjacent data sub-fragments and the coding fragment as a group of adjacent coding sub-fragments; and

in response to determining that additional nodes have been added to the object storage system:

moving a portion of the respective groups of adjacent data sub-fragments to the additional nodes, and

combining the group of adjacent coding sub-fragments to generate an updated coding fragment.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the combining adding the group of adjacent coding sub-fragments.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the combining comprises performing an exclusive disjunction operation to generate the updated coding fragment.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the storing comprises storing the data fragments and the coding fragment within an elastic cloud system.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the erasure coding scheme is a first erasure coding scheme and the method further comprises:

in response to the determining that the set of additional nodes have been added to the object storage system, selecting a second erasure coding scheme to protect the chunk of data.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the determining the coding fragment comprises determining the coding fragment based on a defined coding matrix associated with the erasure coding scheme.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

based on an erasure coding, determining, data fragments and a coding fragment associated with a chunk of data;

storing, within different nodes of an object storage system, the data fragments as respective groups of adjacent data sub-fragments and the coding fragment as a group of adjacent coding sub-fragments; and

in response to determining that additional nodes have been added to the object storage system,

facilitating a transfer of a portion of the respective groups of adjacent data sub-fragments to the additional nodes, and

updating the coding fragment based on a result of combining the group of adjacent coding sub-fragments.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the updating comprises adding the group of adjacent coding sub-fragments.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the updating comprises generating an updated coding fragment based on performing an exclusive OR operation on the group of adjacent coding sub-fragments.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the object storage system comprises an elastic cloud system.
