Data Erasure codes - Resilience

Ramon Nou requested to merge rnou/ecc into master

Erasure codes enables the capability to recover data with less space that with replication. The implementation uses Jerasure library (same as CEPH) and uses the NUM_REPL environment variable to choose how many servers are used to store ECs.

Activation of the code is done using CMAKE GKFS_ENABLE_EC.

ECs are only stored/generated with a complete chunk line (num_servers - num_repl).

Additionaly the user can enable the -DGKFS_ENABLE_READ_ERRORS to inject a
50% of read errors into the workflow.
