Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a computer system, indications of one or more datastores to be scanned for a particular type of information during a first scan;
selecting, with the computer system, a proper subset of a plurality of classifiers to apply to the one or more datastores during the first scan to identify the particular type of information, wherein the proper subset is selected from the plurality of classifiers based on the particular type of information and on metadata corresponding to one or more datastores;
determining, with the computer system based on the proper subset of classifiers, a first plurality of scan objectives for the first scan, wherein the first plurality of scan objectives include a target sampling confidence level for the first scan and one or more sampling strategies for the first scan, wherein the target sampling confidence level is indicative of an amount of sampling to represent a larger dataset;
determining, with the computer system, available computer resources to perform the first scan;
estimating, with the computer system, one or more scan quality metrics and an estimated execution duration for the first scan based on the scan objectives and the available computer resources;
presenting, with the computer system to a user, indications of the one or more estimated scan quality metrics and estimated execution duration for the first scan; and
in response to one or more commands from the user, performing, with the computer system, the first scan.
