ABSTRACT:
A plurality of cells forming at least a portion of a hive of a data storage system may be capacity balanced by fragmenting a portion of at least one non-empty tile of one of the plurality of cells and moving the fragmented portion to another one of the plurality of cells. A plurality of cells forming at least a portion of a hive of a fixed content storage system may be capacity balanced by identifying at least one of the plurality of cells from which objects are to be moved, and for each of the at least one of the plurality of cells identified, determining a number of objects to be moved to another one of the plurality of cells, identifying one or more tiles that collectively have approximately the number of objects to be moved, and moving the one or more tiles to the another one of the plurality of cells.
