> This is useful for Write-Ahead-Logs: these files are writen for recovery only, and are not read when there are no failures.
> Taking HBase as an example, these files will be read only if the process that wrote them (the 'HBase regionserver') dies. This will likely come from a hardware failure, hence the corresponding datanode will be dead as well. So we're writing 3 replicas, but in reality only 2 of them are really useful.
