Abstract:
A storage controller receives hints provided by one or more applications over a period of time, wherein the hints are used by the storage controller for organizing data in storage managed by the storage controller. Data on conflicts caused by the provided hints are collected over the period of time. Based on the collected data on the conflicts, one or more conflict avoidance rules are executed to reduce possibility of future conflicts.
