Abstract
A storage system distributes data across multiple nodes, where the data is stored with partial redundancy to meet a predetermined reliability level. The system monitors a number of nodes in the storage system to determine whether a number of nodes changes. Responsive to determining that the number of nodes changes, the system determines whether reliability level of the storage system exceeds the predetermined reliability level by a threshold. Responsive to determining that the reliability level of the storage system exceeds the predetermined reliability level by the threshold, the system adjusts a data storing scheme of the storage system to reduce redundancy and increase available storage capacity in the storage system, while maintaining the predetermined reliability level.
