Erasure Coded Placement Groups
==============================
Glossary
--------
*chunk*
when the encoding function is called, it returns chunks of the same
size. Data chunks which can be concated to reconstruct the original
object and coding chunks which can be used to rebuild a lost chunk.
*chunk rank*
the index of a chunk when returned by the encoding function. The
rank of the first chunk is 0, the rank of the second chunk is 1
etc.
*stripe*
when an object is too large to be encoded with a single call,
each set of chunks created by a call to the encoding function is
called a stripe.
*shard|strip*
an ordered sequence of chunks of the same rank from the same
object. For a given placement group, each OSD contains shards of
the same rank. When dealing with objects that are encoded with a
single operation, *chunk* is sometime used instead of *shard*
because the shard is made of a single chunk.
The definitions are illustrated as follows:
::
OSD 40 OSD 33
+-------------------------+ +-------------------------+
| shard 0 - PG 10 | | shard 1 - PG 10 |
|+------ object O -------+| |+------ object O -------+|
