Abstract
An apparatus in an illustrative embodiment comprises at least one processing device configured to identify data units stored on storage nodes of a storage system, wherein different subsets of the data units comprise data sub-units stored utilizing different data striping schemes. The at least one processing device is also configured to maintain a data structure characterizing relationships between the storage nodes, the data structure comprising, for a given data unit, edge weights that are proportional to a given number of data sub-units that are part of the given data unit. The at least one processing device is further configured to receive an additional data unit to be stored, to determine, utilizing the data structure, a subset of the storage nodes on which to store data sub-units of the additional data unit, and to store the data sub-units of the additional data unit on the determined subset of the storage nodes.
