When the replication factor is lowered and the StoreRebalancer
attempts a rebalance, it will accidentally perform a downreplication.
Since it wasn't ever supposed to do that, the downreplication is
pretty haphazard and doesn't safeguard quorum in the same way
that a "proper" downreplication likely would. Prevent if from
changing the number of voters and non-voters to avoid this issue.
Annoyingly, I knew about this problem, but instead of fixing it at the
source - as this commit does - I added a lower- level check that could
then not be backported to release-20.2, where we are now seeing this
problem.
