This document discusses scalable and adaptive data replica placement schemes for geo-distributed cloud storage systems. It proposes using overlapping community discovery and adjustment to determine where to place data replicas in a distributed way. An offline scheme uses average read/write rates to find an initial replica placement solution. An online scheme then adaptively handles bursty requests without completely overriding the existing placement. Performance evaluations using real-world data show the approaches reduce inter-node traffic and system overhead compared to traditional centralized placement schemes.
