1. A method for modifying a frequency of replication of a set of data, the method comprising:
determining, by a processor, a first predicted quantity of updates that are likely to be made to a set of data based, at least in part, on a history of updates for the set of data, wherein the set of data is associated with a first category of replication that indicates a first frequency of data replication to be applied to the set of data; determining, by the processor, whether the first predicted quantity meets a first threshold for a frequency of replication of the set of data, wherein the first threshold indicates an allowed number of updates for the set of data, and wherein a meeting of the first threshold indicates that an adjustment to the first frequency of replication of the set of data is to be initiated; predicting, by the processor, a degree of latency that will be experienced during replication of the set of data; determining, by the processor, whether the first predicted quantity meets a plurality of thresholds for the frequency of replication of the set of data; responsive to a determination that the first predicted quantity meets the plurality of thresholds, identifying, by the processor, a threshold, included in the plurality of thresholds, that has the highest priority; responsive to a determination that the first threshold has been met, associating, by the processor, the set of data with a second category of replication, wherein the second category of replication indicates a second frequency of data replication to be applied to the set of data, and wherein the association of the set of data with the second category of replication is based, at least in part, on i) the threshold that has the highest priority and ii) the predicted degree of latency meeting a third threshold, wherein the third threshold indicates a degree of latency that is allowed for given mode of data transmission; associating, by the processor, the second category of replication with at least one of i) a type of storage media to be used during the replication of the set of data, ii) a mode of data transmission to be used during the replication of the set of data, and iii) a type of data that represents the set of data during the replication of the set of data, wherein the associating is based, at least in part, on the first predicted quantity meeting a second threshold for the frequency of replication of the set of data, wherein the second threshold being met indicates at least one of i) the type of storage media to be used during the replication of the set of data, ii) the mode of data transmission to be used during the replication of the set of data, and iii) the type of data that represents the set of data during the replication of the set of data; and responsive to a determination that the first threshold has been met, delaying, by the processor, for a predetermined period of time, a determination as to whether a second predicted quantity of updates that are likely to be made to the set of data meets a third threshold for the frequency of replication of the set of data, wherein the delay allows for completion of a normalization process following replication of the set of data. |
