Claim Text:
1. A method for modifying a frequency of replication of a set of data, the method comprising: determining, by a processor, a first predicted quantity of updates that are likely to be made to a set of data based, at least in part, on a history of updates for the set of data, wherein the set of data is associated with a first category of replication that indicates a first frequency of data replication to be applied to the set of data; determining, by the processor, whether the first predicted quantity meets a first threshold for a frequency of replication of the set of data, wherein the first threshold indicates an allowed number of updates for the set of data, and wherein a meeting of the first threshold indicates that an adjustment to the first frequency of replication of the set of data is to be initiated; and responsive to a determination that the first threshold has been met, associating, by the processor, the set of data with a second category of replication, wherein the second category of replication indicates a second frequency of data replication to be applied to the set of data.
