Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for caching in an erasure-coded system may include partitioning data into data chunks and storing the data chunks across at least two data storage devices. The method may also include encoding the data chunks into at least one parity chunk and storing the at least one parity chunk on at least one parity storage device. The method may further include caching (parity and/or data functions) to at least one storage device, when a threshold value is reached. The method may include detecting a storage failure on one of the data storage devices and subsequent thereto, prioritizing the caching of certain functions over those of others. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
