Surely it's the other way round?
That is, the better your software can handle repair, the smaller your failure domain can be?
A larger failure domain would only make sense if you wanted to minimize the compute required per unit stored?
- jamwt 11y agoWe do want to minimize that--compute costs money, and storage is irreducible. But you can only reduce aggressively if your larger distributed system is great at repairs, since the failure of a single box kicks off 1PB of repair activity!
