Hi,
one question on the forum [1] led me to thinking whether we offer any
guarantees at all after merge *without* partition handling. The common
sense would suggest that we could have inconsistency on entries
overwritten in one of the partitions, but the entry should not be lost
completely.

No, we do not guarantee that an entry will not be lost. When the split
happens, either one partition could end up with 0 owners for a particular
segment, and it will allocate new owners for that segment. When the merge
happens, that partition's consistent hash may be chosen as the merge
consistent
