What does CMTruncJob mean in indexer clustering?

Anyone can point me to docs that describe under what circumstances the cluster master will issue bucket truncation jobs (CMTruncJob)

1) remove excess buckets (cmtruncjob with size=0 is the same as remove a bucket)
2) mismatch size of a bucket - generally after rolling restart / shutdown of a peer where the streaming connection of a hot buckett isnt consistent across the indexers - in which case we truncate to the smallest size of a bucket. we truncate to the smallest size because we dont ACK back to the forwarder until ALL copies of a hot bucket get a slice, so the assumption is that the the smallest size of the bucket has all the ACK'd slices (whereas the larger bucket has a piece that hasnt been ACKd)
