Abstract
Multiple objects in a multi-tiered storage system are classified according to multiple metadata fields. Access histories of the classified objects are tracked. Tracked access histories for objects having given values for given metadata fields are amalgamated. Access probability distributions are determined for objects having given values for given metadata fields, based on the amalgamated access histories. Responsive to a new object being added to the system, the new object is classified according to multiple metadata fields. For each specific one of the multiple metadata fields according to which the new object is classified, the determined access probability distribution for objects having the same metadata classification value as the new object is retrieved. The predicted access probability distribution for the new object is determined, by combining the retrieved access probability distributions. The new object is assigned to and stored in a specific storage tier based on the predicted access probability distribution.
