Any time there is a change in data placement, be it a change in the CRUSH
map like modifying the weight of an OSD or simply adding a new OSD.
Thus objects are (temporarily) not where they're supposed to be, but still
present in sufficient replication. 
A much more benign scenario than degraded and I hope that this doesn't
even generate a WARN in the "ceph -s" report.
