1. A method, comprising:
- accessing a data repository that comprises data that is indicative of historic user interaction with a search engine; and
causing a processor to compute a tiering policy for digital items that are retrievable by way of the search engine based at least in part upon the data that is indicative of the historic user interaction with the search engine, the tiering policy defining how the digital items are selectively stored across a plurality of data storage tiers that are accessible to the search engine, wherein retrieval times for digital items in the data storage tiers differ across the data storage tiers.

Abstract
Technologies pertaining to computing a tiering policy that defines how digital items are desirable stored across a plurality of different storage tiers are described herein. A data repository that comprises data that is indicative of historic user interaction with a search engine is accessed. Subsequently, a tiering policy for digital items that are retrievable by way of the search engine is computed based at least in part upon the data that is indicative of the historic user interaction with the search engine. Retrieval times for digital items in the data storage tiers differ across the data storage tiers.

19. A computer-readable data storage device comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:
-
receiving data that is indicative of historic user interaction with a search engine, the search engine comprising a search engine index that is spread across a plurality of data storage tiers, data retrieval speeds differing across the plurality of data storage tiers; computing a tiering policy that defines how a plurality of digital items that are desirably stored in the search engine index are distributed across the plurality of data storage tiers, the tiering policy computed based at least in part upon the data that is indicative of the historic user interaction with the search engine. - View Dependent Claims (20)
