Redundancy and Data Repair

Ensures continuous data availability and recovery.

DÆTA implements advanced redundancy and data repair mechanisms to ensure high data availability and durability.

Redundancy Strategy

• Reed-Solomon Erasure Coding: Enables data recovery with fewer shards than the original total.

• Geographic Distribution: Shards are stored on nodes in different physical locations.

• Dynamic Redundancy: Adjusts based on file importance and network conditions.

Redundancy Configuration

Example

{
  "file_id": "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479",
  "total_shards": 30,
  "required_shards": 20,
  "distribution": {
    "continent": {
      "max_shards_per_continent": 10,
      "min_continents": 3
    },
    "country": {
      "max_shards_per_country": 5,
      "min_countries": 6
    }
  }
}

Data Repair Process

• Continuous Monitoring: Satellites regularly check shard availability.

• Threshold Detection: Repair process initiated when available shards approach the minimum threshold.

• Shard Regeneration: Missing shards are reconstructed using available data.

• Replication: New shards are distributed to maintain desired redundancy.

Repair Algorithm (Simplified)

def repair_file(file_id):
    shards = get_file_shards(file_id)
    available_shards = [s for s in shards if s.is_available()]
    
    if len(available_shards) <= file.required_shards:
        reconstruct_and_redistribute(file_id, available_shards)
    elif len(available_shards) < file.total_shards:
        regenerate_missing_shards(file_id, available_shards)

def reconstruct_and_redistribute(file_id, available_shards):
    original_data = reconstruct_data(available_shards)
    new_shards = generate_new_shards(original_data, file.total_shards)
    distribute_shards(new_shards)

def regenerate_missing_shards(file_id, available_shards):
    missing_shard_count = file.total_shards - len(available_shards)
    new_shards = generate_additional_shards(available_shards, missing_shard_count)
    distribute_shards(new_shards)

By implementing this architecture, DÆTA ensures a robust, scalable and resilient decentralized storage network that can adapt to changing conditions and maintain high data integrity and availability.
