Adjust threadpool size and control concurrency
Please see the crypto-async module for advice on adjusting threadpool size and controlling concurrency.
Encoding Parity Shards
var ReedSolomon = require('@ronomon/reed-solomon');
// Specify the number of data shards (<= ReedSolomon.MAX_K):
var k = 6;
// Specify the number of parity shards (<= ReedSolomon.MAX_M):
var m = 3; // Protect against the loss of any 3 data or parity shards.
// Create an encoding context (can be cached and re-used concurrently):
var context = ReedSolomon.create(k, m);
// Specify the size of each shard in bytes (must be a multiple of 8 bytes):
var shardSize = 65536;
// Allocate the data buffer containing all data shards:
var buffer = Buffer.alloc(shardSize * k);
// Specify the offset into the data buffer at which data shards begin:
// This allows you to include a header.
var bufferOffset = 0;
// Specify the size after this offset of all data shards:
// This allows you to include a footer.
var bufferSize = shardSize * k;
// Allocate the parity buffer containing all parity shards:
var parity = Buffer.alloc(shardSize * m);
// Specify the offset into the parity buffer at which parity shards begin:
// This allows you to include a header.
var parityOffset = 0;
// Specify the size after this offset of all parity shards:
// This allows you to include a footer.
var paritySize = shardSize * m;
// Specify the sources, present in buffer or parity (as bit flags):
// We are encoding parity shards, so we mark all data shards as sources.
var sources = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < k; i++) sources |= (1 << i);
// Specify the targets, missing in buffer or parity, which should be encoded:
// We are encoding parity shards, so we mark all parity shards as targets:
var targets = 0;
for (var i = k; i < k + m; i++) targets |= (1 << i);
// Encode all parity shards:
ReedSolomon.encode(
context,
sources,
targets,
buffer,
bufferOffset,
bufferSize,
parity,
parityOffset,
paritySize,
function(error) {
if (error) throw error;
// Parity shards now contain parity data.
}
);Encoding Corrupted Shards
// Corrupt first data shard:
buffer[bufferOffset + (shardSize * 0)] = 255;
// Corrupt first parity shard:
parity[parityOffset + (shardSize * 0)] = 255;
// We still have enough parity to corrupt one more shard.
// Specify the targets, missing in buffer or parity, which should be encoded:
var targets = 0;
targets |= (1 << 0); // Data shard at index 0 needs to be encoded.
targets |= (1 << k); // Parity shard at index 6 (k + 0) needs to be encoded.
// Specify the sources, present in buffer or parity:
// We need at least k sources.
// For this example, we assume that a shard is a source if it is not a target.
// An optimization is available here:
// If a shard is not a source or target, it might not be encoded.
// The shard may be encoded if needed to encode other shards, but otherwise not.
var sources = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < k + m; i++) {
if (targets & (1 << i)) continue;
sources |= (1 << i);
}
// Encode the corrupted data and parity shards:
ReedSolomon.encode(
context,
sources,
targets,
buffer,
bufferOffset,
bufferSize,
parity,
parityOffset,
paritySize,
function(error) {
if (error) throw error;
// Data shard at index 0 has been repaired.
// Parity shard at index 6 has been repaired.
}
