Abstract
One example method is directed to generating a data sampling parameter, and includes identifying an incremental billing rate for data storage, where the data storage includes a data set having a multiple data pieces that each correspond with a respective unique indicator, and the unique indicators reside in a space. The example method further includes identifying a threshold billing increment, and determining an acceptable error in the threshold billing increment. Finally, the method includes determining a sub sample ratio based upon the threshold billing increment and the acceptable error. The sub sample ratio has a variable value 'X' which indicates that sampling of one unique indicator in every 'X' unique indicators in the space is sufficient to determine the size of the entire data set.
