Abstract
A system and method for simulating a state of a distributed storage system is provided. A current state of a distributed storage system and replication policies for the objects in the distributed storage system is obtained. Proposed modifications to the current state of the distributed storage system are received. The state of the distributed storage system is simulated over time based on the current state of the distributed storage system, the replication policies for the objects in the distributed storage system, and the proposed modifications to the current state of the distributed storage system. Then reports relating to the time evolution of the current state of the distributed storage system are generated based on the simulation.
