Abstract
A system and method generating and distributing replica removal requests for objects in a distributed storage system is provided. Replica removal requests for objects in a distributed storage system are generated based at least in part on replication policies for the objects. A respective replica removal request instructs a respective instance of the distributed storage system to remove a respective replica of the respective object so as to at least partially satisfy replication policies for the respective object. Then the replica removal requests for the objects in the distributed storage system are distributed to respective instances of the distributed storage system corresponding to the replica removal requests for execution.
