Generate redundant blocks of information such that if some +of the blocks are lost then the original data can be recovered from +the remaining blocks. This package includes command-line tools, C API, +Python API, and Haskell API. + + +Intro and Licence +----------------- + +This package implements an "erasure code", or "forward error correction code". + +You may use this package under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or, at +your option, any later version. You may use this package under the Transitive +Grace Period Public Licence, version 1.0 or, at your option, any later version. +(You may choose to use this package under the terms of either licence, at your +option.) See the file COPYING.GPL for the terms of the GNU General Public +License, version 2. See the file COPYING.TGPPL.html for the terms of the +Transitive Grace Period Public Licence, version 1.0. + +The most widely known example of an erasure code is the RAID-5 algorithm which +makes it so that in the event of the loss of any one hard drive, the stored data +can be completely recovered. The algorithm in the zfec package has a similar +effect, but instead of recovering from the loss of only a single element, it can +be parameterized to choose in advance the number of elements whose loss it can +tolerate. + +This package is largely based on the old "fec" library by Luigi Rizzo et al., +which is a mature and optimized implementation of erasure coding. The zfec +package makes several changes from the original "fec" package, including +addition of the Python API, refactoring of the C API to support zero-copy +operation, a few clean-ups and optimizations of the core code itself, and the +addition of a command-line tool named "zfec". + + +Installation +------------ + +This package is managed with the "setuptools" package management tool. To build +and install the package directly into your system, just run "python ./setup.py +install". If you prefer to keep the package limited to a specific directory so +that you can manage it yourself (perhaps by using the "GNU stow") tool, then +give it these arguments: "python ./setup.py install +--single-version-externally-managed +--record=${specificdirectory}/zfec-install.log --prefix=${specificdirectory}" + +To run the self-tests, execute "python ./setup.py test" (or if you have Twisted +Python installed, you can run "trial zfec" for nicer output and test options.) +This will run the tests of the C API, the Python API, and the command-line +tools. + +To run the tests of the Haskell API: + % runhaskell haskell/test/FECTest.hs + +Note that in order to run the Haskell API tests you must have installed the +library first due to the fact that the interpreter cannot process FEC.hs as it +takes a reference to an FFI function. + + +Community +--------- + +The source is currently available via darcs on the web with the command: + +darcs get http://allmydata.org/source/zfec/trunk + +More information on darcs is available at http://darcs.net + +Please join the zfec mailing list and submit patches: + + + + +Overview +-------- + +This package performs two operations, encoding and decoding. Encoding takes +some input data and expands its size by producing extra "check blocks", also +called "secondary blocks". Decoding takes some data -- any combination of +blocks of the original data (called "primary blocks") and "secondary blocks", +and produces the original data. + +The encoding is parameterized by two integers, k and m. m is the total number +of blocks produced, and k is how many of those blocks are necessary to +reconstruct the original data. m is required to be at least 1 and at most 256, +and k is required to be at least 1 and at most m. + +(Note that when k == m then there is no point in doing erasure coding -- it +degenerates to the equivalent of the Unix "split" utility which simply splits +the input into successive segments. Similarly, when k == 1 it degenerates to +the equivalent of the unix "cp" utility -- each block is a complete copy of the +input data.) + +Note that each "primary block" is a segment of the original data, so its size is +1/k'th of the size of original data, and each "secondary block" is of the same +size, so the total space used by all the blocks is m/k times the size of the +original data (plus some padding to fill out the last primary block to be the +same size as all the others). In addition to the data contained in the blocks +themselves there are also a few pieces of metadata which are necessary for later +reconstruction. Those pieces are: 1. the value of K, 2. the value of M, 3. +the sharenum of each block, 4. the number of bytes of padding that were used. +The "zfec" command-line tool compresses these pieces of data and prepends them +to the beginning of each share, so each the sharefile produced by the "zfec" +command-line tool is between one and four bytes larger than the share data +alone. + +The decoding step requires as input k of the blocks which were produced by the +encoding step. The decoding step produces as output the data that was earlier +input to the encoding step. + + +Command-Line Tool +----------------- + +The bin/ directory contains two Unix-style, command-line tools "zfec" and +"zunfec". Execute "zfec --help" or "zunfec --help" for usage instructions. + +Note: a Unix-style tool like "zfec" does only one thing -- in this case erasure +coding -- and leaves other tasks to other tools. Other Unix-style tools that go +well with zfec include "GNU tar" or "7z" a.k.a. "p7zip" for archiving multiple +files and directories into one file, "7z" or "rzip" for compression, and "GNU Privacy +Guard" for encryption or "sha256sum" for integrity. It is important to do +things in order: first archive, then compress, then either encrypt or sha256sum, +then erasure code. Note that if GNU Privacy Guard is used for privacy, then it +will also ensure integrity, so the use of sha256sum is unnecessary in that case. +Note that if 7z is used for archiving then it also does compression, so you +don't need a separate compressor in that case. + + +Performance +----------- + +On my Athlon 64 2.4 GHz workstation (running Linux), the "zfec" command-line +tool encoded a 160 MB file with m=100, k=94 (about 6% redundancy) in 3.9 +seconds, where the "par2" tool encoded the file with about 6% redundancy in 27 +seconds. zfec encoded the same file with m=12, k=6 (100% redundancy) in 4.1 +seconds, where par2 encoded it with about 100% redundancy in 7 minutes and 56 +seconds. + +The underlying C library in benchmark mode encoded from a file at about 4.9 +million bytes per second and decoded at about 5.8 million bytes per second. + +On Peter's fancy Intel Mac laptop (2.16 GHz Core Duo), it encoded from a file at +about 6.2 million bytes per second. + +On my even fancier Intel Mac laptop (2.33 GHz Core Duo), it encoded from a file +at about 6.8 million bytes per second. + +On my old PowerPC G4 867 MHz Mac laptop, it encoded from a file at about 1.3 +million bytes per second. + +Here is a paper analyzing the performance of various erasure codes and their +implementations, including zfec: + +http://www.usenix.org/events/fast09/tech/full_papers/plank/plank.pdf + +Zfec shows good performance on different machines and with different values of +K and M. It also has a nice small memory footprint. + + +API +--- + +Each block is associated with "blocknum". The blocknum of each primary block is +its index (starting from zero), so the 0'th block is the first primary block, +which is the first few bytes of the file, the 1'st block is the next primary +block, which is the next few bytes of the file, and so on. The last primary +block has blocknum k-1. The blocknum of each secondary block is an arbitrary +integer between k and 255 inclusive. (When using the Python API, if you don't +specify which secondary blocks you want when invoking encode(), then it will by +default provide the blocks with ids from k to m-1 inclusive.) + +- C API + + fec_encode() takes as input an array of k pointers, where each + pointer points to a memory buffer containing the input data (i.e., + the i'th buffer contains the i'th primary block). There is also a + second parameter which is an array of the blocknums of the secondary + blocks which are to be produced. (Each element in that array is + required to be the blocknum of a secondary block, i.e. it is + required to be >= k and < m.) + + The output from fec_encode() is the requested set of secondary + blocks which are written into output buffers provided by the caller. + + Note that this fec_encode() is a "low-level" API in that it requires + the input data to be provided in a set of memory buffers of exactly + the right sizes. If you are starting instead with a single buffer + containing all of the data then please see easyfec.py's "class + Encoder" as an example of how to split a single large buffer into + the appropriate set of input buffers for fec_encode(). If you are + starting with a file on disk, then please see filefec.py's + encode_file_stringy_easyfec() for an example of how to read the data + from a file and pass it to "class Encoder". The Python interface + provides these higher-level operations, as does the Haskell + interface. If you implement functions to do these higher-level + tasks in other languages than Python or Haskell, then please send a + patch to zfec-dev@allmydata.org so that your API can be included in + future releases of zfec. + + fec_decode() takes as input an array of k pointers, where each + pointer points to a buffer containing a block. There is also a + separate input parameter which is an array of blocknums, indicating + the blocknum of each of the blocks which is being passed in. + + The output from fec_decode() is the set of primary blocks which were + missing from the input and had to be reconstructed. These + reconstructed blocks are written into output buffers provided by the + caller. + + +- Python API + + encode() and decode() take as input a sequence of k buffers, where a + "sequence" is any object that implements the Python sequence + protocol (such as a list or tuple) and a "buffer" is any object that + implements the Python buffer protocol (such as a string or array). + The contents that are required to be present in these buffers are + the same as for the C API. + + encode() also takes a list of desired blocknums. Unlike the C API, + the Python API accepts blocknums of primary blocks as well as + secondary blocks in its list of desired blocknums. encode() returns + a list of buffer objects which contain the blocks requested. For + each requested block which is a primary block, the resulting list + contains a reference to the apppropriate primary block from the + input list. For each requested block which is a secondary block, + the list contains a newly created string object containing that + block. + + decode() also takes a list of integers indicating the blocknums of + the blocks being passed int. decode() returns a list of buffer + objects which contain all of the primary blocks of the original data + (in order). For each primary block which was present in the input + list, then the result list simply contains a reference to the object + that was passed in the input list. For each primary block which was + not present in the input, the result list contains a newly created + string object containing that primary block. + + Beware of a "gotcha" that can result from the combination of mutable + data and the fact that the Python API returns references to inputs + when possible. + + Returning references to its inputs is efficient since it avoids + making an unnecessary copy of the data, but if the object which was + passed as input is mutable and if that object is mutated after the + call to zfec returns, then the result from zfec -- which is just a + reference to that same object -- will also be mutated. This + subtlety is the price you pay for avoiding data copying. If you + don't want to have to worry about this then you can simply use + immutable objects (e.g. Python strings) to hold the data that you + pass to zfec. + +- Haskell API + + The Haskell code is fully Haddocked, to generate the documentation, run + % runhaskell Setup.lhs haddock + + +Utilities +--------- + +The filefec.py module has a utility function for efficiently reading a file and +encoding it piece by piece. This module is used by the "zfec" and "zunfec" +command-line tools from the bin/ directory. + + +Dependencies +------------ + +A C compiler is required. To use the Python API or the command-line +tools a Python interpreter is also required. We have tested it with +Python v2.4, v2.5, v2.6, and v2.7. For the Haskell interface, GHC >= +6.8.1 is required. + + +Acknowledgements +---------------- + +Thanks to the author of the original fec lib, Luigi Rizzo, and the folks that +contributed to it: Phil Karn, Robert Morelos-Zaragoza, Hari Thirumoorthy, and +Dan Rubenstein.
