SWIFT data consistency
Since swift stores by default at least 3 replicas of data and last write wins, how does swift handle a file corruption situation? If you have a drive that's headed towards failure, but hasn't failed completely yet and corrupts some of the data on it how does swift detect this and handle it?
It would seem that it might detect the corrupted object as the latest write and replicate that throughout the rest of the cluster. Or all the timestamps would be the same, but the hashes would be different so how would it know which version is the correct one?
