Abstract
A computer-implemented method for hotspot mitigation in object-based file systems may include 1) identifying a storage system including a plurality of storage devices, 2) identifying an object stored on a storage device within the plurality of storage devices, 3) identifying a level of demand to access the object, 4) creating, based at least in part on the level of demand, at least one sparse object to represent the object on at least one alternate storage device in the plurality of storage devices, and 5) fulfilling at least one read attempt to read from the object via the sparse object. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
