1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when stored in memory and executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform steps for maintaining replicas of a data set, the steps comprising:
storing, by a first node, a first replica of the data set in persistent storage on the first node;
storing, by a second node different than the first node, a second replica of the data set in persistent on the second node; and
performing, by the first node and based on first metadata associated with the first replica, a first data management activity on the first replica that changes a first format of the first replica so that the first format of the first replica is different from a second format of the second replica.
