The first scheme of this sort I heard of is "piggybacking codes". It's a clever scheme and a good example of how this sort of thing can be possible, but it has some limitations.

Clay codes are a newish erasure coding scheme with some nice properties: They make for a systematic MDS erasure code, like Reed-Solomon, that can recover the loss of one chunk of data with much less bandwidth and disk I/O than the worst case you get with typical MDS codes.
