Abstract
Mechanisms for predicting a GC duration are described herein. In one embodiment, the mechanisms include receiving a first set of features determined based on current operating status and prior garbage collection (GC) statistics of a first storage system. In one embodiment, the mechanisms include predicting a GC duration of a first GC process being performed at the first storage system by applying a predictive model on the first set of features, wherein the predictive model was generated based on a second set of features received periodically from a plurality of storage systems.
