Another fun/easy-to-follow intro to basic Reed–Solomon coding [...] by the end of this post, we will have written a complete working implementation of a simple variant of Reed–Solomon coding, not entirely unlike what is used in [OpenStack] Swift itself. No prior knowledge will be assumed except a working knowledge of high-school algebra and the Python programming language. https://www.swiftstack.com/blog/2015/04/20/the-foundations-of-erasure-codes/ https://www.swiftstack.com/blog/2015/04/20/the-foundations-o...
