+    When the cluster size is extremely small, e.g. 3 nodes or less, cluster
+    administrators may want to set the policy to NEVER in the default
+    configuration file or disable this feature.  Otherwise, users may
+    experience an unusually high rate of pipeline failures since it is
+    impossible to find new datanodes for replacement.
