Hello!
I have a question about data replication factor in Mimir and how it plays with zone-aware replication.
I am working with the mimir-distributed helm chart (v5.5.1)
I want a data replication factor of 2, and these two replicas to be on different zones.
But when I try to set up zoneAwareReplication with only 2 zones it tells me:
(mimir-distributed/templates/ingester/ingester-svc.yaml:2:17): When zone-awareness is enabled, you must have at least 3 zones defined.
Currently only talking about ingester.
What will happen if I set up 3 zones and then only have replication factor of 2? would it just make sure that the 2 replicas are not in the same zone? Or will the 3rd zone be completely unused?
Thanks!
