Some initial thoughts on the solution based on Harsha/Joe/Emmanuel's inputs are: 1) gluster volume heal <volname> info split-brain should give output in some 'format' giving stat/pending-matrix etc for all the files in split-brain. - Unfortunately we still don't have a way to provide with file paths without doing 'find' on the bricks. 2) User saves this output to a file and makes modifications to this file giving his choices of files he wants as sources. 3) 'gluster volume heal <volname> split-brain input-file <file>' will take the inputs and fixes the files. Question is, is it worthwhile to implement the two commands proposed by Ravi to begin with and implement the solution above in subsequent releases? Because these things are easier to implement and I feel they definitely address some of the pain points I have observed dealing with users.
This approach looks good to me. We still need to think through and carefully design an interactive mechanism for resolving split-brains. While we evolve that interface, we can implement commands proposed by Ravi in the near term to alleviate some user pain points.
