Option to create another copy of backup data if data owner dies
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBCACHE-1240
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1240
             Project: JBoss Cache
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Buddy Replication
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry

With BR, if a data owner dies, the number of copies of the data it owns is reduced by one.  If the data is accessed, another node becomes owner and the number of backups returns to normal.  But if the data isn't accessed, the number of backups remains reduced.

Besides the general problem of lesser reliability for this data, this can be a problem with things like rolling upgrades, where all the backup nodes could be restarted before the data is accessed, leading to data loss.

Downside to making another copy of the backup data when the owner dies is it adds stress to the system by replicating more data.  So, this should be configurable.
