A larger value may increase the speed of cluster balancing / convergence
at the potential cost of greater impact on client operations.
-There is a separate setting for how uniform the distribution of PGs
-must be for the module to consider adequately balanced.
-At the time of writing this value defaults to ``5``, which means that
-if a given OSD's PG replicas vary by five or fewer above or below the
-cluster's average, it will be considered sufficiently balanced.

This value of PG replicas / shards (as distinct from logical PGs) is reported
by the ``ceph osd df`` command under the ``PGS`` column and the variance
