METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING THROUGHPUT OF BIG DATA ANALYSIS IN A NAND-BASED READ SOURCE STORAGE

Abstract:

One embodiment facilitates data access in a storage device. During operation, the system obtains, by the storage device, a file from an original physical media separate from the storage device, wherein the file comprises compressed data which has been previously encoded based on an error correction code (ECC). The system stores, on a physical media of the storage device, the obtained file as a read-only replica. In response to receiving a request to read the file, the system decodes, by the storage device based on the ECC, the replica to obtain ECC-decoded data, wherein the ECC-decoded data is subsequently decompressed by a computing device associated with the storage device and returned as the requested file.
