- * The mlConfigureForestReplicas task exposes an instance of ConfigureForestReplicasCommand as the "command" attribute.
- * This allows us to easily modify the forestNamesAndReplicaCounts map, where each key is the name of a primary forest,
- * and the value of each key is the number of replicas to create on each host in the cluster (except the host that the
- * primary forest resides on).
- *
- * Note that this is usually most useful for supporting failover for MarkLogic apps such as Admin and App-Services. For
- * failover for your own forests, you can use this approach, but you may also wish to create forest config files under
- * src/main/ml-config/forests.
