摘要：
A method for dynamically modifying data set generation depth is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes providing a data set comprising one or more data elements. For each data element, a maximum generations number is designated that specifies a maximum number of generations of the data element to retain in the data set. The method monitors an access rate (e.g., creation rate, update rate, etc.) for each data element and dynamically alters, for each data element, the maximum generations number in accordance with the data element's access rate. In certain embodiments, the maximum generations number of a data element is increased as its access rate increases. Similarly, the maximum generations number of a data element may be decreased as its access rate decreases. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
