```go

}

// If all 7 keys missed, then the job group does not have scaling enabled,
// this is logged for operator clarity.

// If some keys missed, the operator has made an effort to enable job scaling
// but potentially made a typo. This is logged as an error so operators can
// see and quickly resolve these issues.

logging.Error("client/job_scaling_policies: job %s and group %v is missing meta scaling key(s): %v",

// If all keys were matched we update the job scaling policy struct with the
// information.
