// Terminology:
//
// A data unit is "recoverable" if it can be recovered on the server
// by uploading data from hosts.
// A chunk is recoverable if it's present on the server or on at least 1 host.
// (note: if it's downloading, it's still present on the server)
// An encoded data unit is recoverable if at least N
// of its subunits are recoverable.
// Figures of merit
//
// for each file, we compute:
// - the average and peak server network rate, up and down
// - the average and peak disk usage
// - the average and min fault tolerance level
// (i.e. number of simultaneous host failures needed to lose the file)
//
// These are measured starting from the time when the file's
// initial downloads have all succeeded or failed
