A request may be received to relocate source data within a distributed database system arranged in a hierarchy composed of a plurality of levels. The plurality of levels may include a local level that includes a plurality of pods, which may be end points in the hierarchy. The data may be stored at a source pod. The request may identify a designated level in the hierarchy at which to relocate the source data. A target pod within the distributed database system may be selected. The source pod and the target pod may be located remotely from one another. The data may be replicated to the target pod via a local change bus in communication with the source pod. The local change bus may capture changes made to data stored in the source pod and transmit the captured changes to the target pod via the hierarchy.
