But other > data on the cluster is important and should not be lost. It would be useful > to separate the metric for missing blocks by the desired replication level of > those blocks, so that one could ignore missing blocks at repl 1 while still > alerting on missing blocks with higher desired replication. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
