Abstract
A data storage service stores a dataset on a set of storage nodes in accordance with a first encoding. A set of shards constituting quorum, and one or more additional shards, are stored on the storage nodes. The data storage system determines to store the dataset according to a second encoding, in which the second encoding has fewer total shards. The data storage system reconfigures the storage of the dataset in accordance with the second encoding, such that the reconfigured storage comprises subsets of shards from the first encoding that were not re-encoded in forming the second encoding.
