Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue text and the linked Octants diagram to understand the proposed geographic-redundancy model. The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry point; scope is complete only when the octant-based region selection behavior and its fallback for sparse regions are defined and implemented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Octants are used to better ensure geographic distribution of data. This is volunteered data, and won't have as much an effect on geographic arbitrage if default storage modes are tolerant of some measure of adjacency. By using an octant system, it's easier to select a different storage region to avoid putting all replicas in the same region without necessarily needing to resort to trigonometry.

The Carbonado Octants System:
Octants
Although O4 is quite sparse, if there are no providers available within this region (or others), an adjacent octant will be chosen.
