Description
Commented by szetszwo in HADOOP-12029:
We should also change "k" and "m" in the following to something like "numDataUnits" and "numParityUnits".
public static final String NUM_DATA_UNITS_KEY = "k"; public static final String NUM_PARITY_UNITS_KEY = "m";
This sounds good to me, as in fact in many erasure coding related papers, discussions, and implementations, though k and m are broadly used, the meanings are not consistent. For example, m can also mean numDataUnits + numParityUnits, all the rows in the coding matrix. The suggested names are more clear and explicit.
