Throughput-sensitive redundancy encoding schemes for data storage

A computer-implemented method for optimizing data storage, comprising:

• under the control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,
• receiving information about one or more access-related characteristics required for data stored on a storage system;
• determining, based at least in part on the received information, a redundancy coding scheme to be applied to the data;
• and
• at a time after the redundancy encoding scheme is determined, modifying the redundancy encoding scheme to be applied to the data in response to receiving information regarding a change of at least one of the access-related characteristics.

A data storage management system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory, including instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to at least:
• detect changes to one or more access-related requirements for data stored according to an error correction encoding scheme;
• and
• at a time after detecting a change to at least a subset of the one or more access-related requirements, modifying the error correction encoding such that the stored data conforms with the changed access-related requirements.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having collectively stored thereon executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing resource provider's computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

• causing an error correction scheme that satisfies one or more storage requirements relating to be applied to data stored upon the media, wherein the one or more storage requirements are requirements of the computing resource provider;
• and
• in response to information that at least one storage requirement has changed:
• updating the error correction scheme to satisfy the changed storage requirement;
• and
• causing the updated error correction scheme to be applied to the stored data.
