Hey folks, This might be covered by the docs, but *shrug* :)
Let's say I have a cluster that suffers from a network connectivity issue between the left and right hemispheres, persisting long enough that both sides believe the other side is down. When the connectivity issue is resolved, presumably both halves of the split brain will see that the other half is a zombie and refuse to be a part of that guy's situation, man. 1) Can one hemisphere be allowed to live, and the other be required to reboot in order to rejoin? If so, who decides which one, and how? e.g. does it matter whether one side of the partition has a majority of nodes? 2) If both hemispheres have to reboot in order to restore sanity to the universe, there will be a race condition if all the seed node(s) are on one side or the other. I guess if any given node knows that it's NOT a seed, it can introduce a sleep into its startup script? 3) How is a rejoining minority node made aware of his cruel fate? I haven't been able to identify any "You're dead, go away and reboot" message.
