Re: experimental features

[Fred Yang <frederic.yang@xxxxxxxxx>]

You will have to consider in the real world whoever built the cluster might not document the dangerous option to let support stuff or successor aware. Thus any experimental feature considered not safe for production should be included in a warning message in 'ceph health', and logs, either log it periodically or log the warning msg upon restart. 
Feature-wise, 'ceph health detail' should give you a report over all important features/options of the cluster as well.

For Subversion, we utilize SVN_I_LOVE_CORRUPTED_XXX for a few options
that can cause data corruption.  -- justin
