Erasure Coding Layer

[jackie-scholl]

I thought up a possible architecture for a Reed-Solomon (or other erasure coding algorithm) layer on top of IPFS. My notes are here. @hsanjuan informed me that ipfs-cluster was already a tool that was planned, and that this architecture could slot into ipfs-cluster, so I should raise an issue here. One of the key points of the system is that there would be IPFS nodes that provide IPFS files that they do not have locally, but instead have to generate by accessing other files from the IPFS network and re-combining them.

Erasure encoding layer is probably the last step after figuring out importers, ipld-selectors and a bunch of other work to distribute the pinning of IPLD trees -encoded in different ways-.
