Toprovide durability for that data and to keep the cost ofstorage low, WAS uses Erasure this paper we introduce a new set of codes for era-sure Coding called Local Reconstruction Codes (LRC).LRC reduces the number of Erasure Coding fragmentsthat need to be read when reconstructing data fragmentsthat are offline, while still keeping the Storage overheadlow. The important benefits of LRC are that it reduces thebandwidth and I/Os required for repair reads over priorcodes, while still allowing a significant reduction in stor-age overhead.
