Worked on the eBay/HomeStore repository to enhance the block allocator by implementing a reset capability that removes existing metadata blocks and reinitializes the allocator. This update included refining the reset routine to deregister the meta handler and destroy the superblock, improving overall resource management and allocator resilience. Developed comprehensive unit tests in C++ to verify that used capacity resets to zero after a chunk reset, ensuring reliability and correctness. Focused on system programming, memory management, and software testing, the work enabled faster recovery and better resource utilization within HomeStore, addressing both feature delivery and reliability improvements during the development period.
