reed-solomon-erasure

Rust implementation of Reed-Solomon erasure coding

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml : toml [dependencies] reed-solomon-erasure = "1.0.1" and the following to your crate root : rust extern crate reed_solomon_erasure;

Example

```rust

[macro_use(shards)]

extern crate reedsolomonerasure;

use reedsolomonerasure::*;

fn main () { let r = ReedSolomon::new(3, 2); // 3 data shards, 2 parity shards

let mut master_copy = shards!([0, 1,  2,  3],
                              [4, 5,  6,  7],
                              [8, 9, 10, 11],
                              [0, 0,  0,  0], // last 2 rows are parity shards
                              [0, 0,  0,  0]);

// Construct the parity shards
r.encode_parity(&mut master_copy, None, None);

// Make a copy and transform it into option shards arrangement
// for feeding into decode_missing
let mut shards = shards_into_option_shards(master_copy.clone());

// We can remove up to 2 shards, which may be data or parity shards
shards[0] = None;
shards[4] = None;

// Try to reconstruct missing shards
r.decode_missing(&mut shards, None, None).unwrap();

// Convert back to normal shard arrangement
let result = option_shards_into_shards(shards);

assert!(r.is_parity_correct(&result, None, None));
assert_eq!(master_copy, result);

} ```

Test

sh cargo test

Notes

Reed-Solomon implementation closely follows BackBlaze's Java implementation, and the test suite mirrors Klaus Post's Go implementation.
