Hi Aaron, we are going to add tests in some future JIRAs. Let me create one
for replication now.

> Without snapshots, file replication is the same as block replication.
> With snapshot, the file replication R_o of the original file and the file
> replication R_s of the snapshot file could possibly be different. Since the
> blocks are shared between the original file and the snapshot file, block
> replication is max(R_o, R_s). If there are more than one snapshots, block
> replication is the max file replication of the original file and all snapshot
> files.
