Patent attributes
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage devices, for data processing and storage. One of the methods includes maintaining, by a storage system, a data log file in a source storage device of the storage system. The storage system identifies one or more characteristics of the data log file and one or more characteristics of the source storage device, and determines a migration metric of the data log file based on the one or more characteristics of the data log file and the one or more characteristics of the source storage device. The storage system determines whether to migrate the data log file according to the migration metric. In response to determining to migrate the data log file, the storage system migrates the data log file from a source location in the source storage device to a destination storage device.
