Description Ravishankar N 2018-09-27 12:25:43 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1626994 +++

Description of problem:

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/21135 committed in master by "Shyamsundar Ranganathan" <srangana> with a commit message- afr: fix incorrect reporting of directory split-brain

Problem:
When a directory has dirty xattrs due to failed post-ops or when
replace/reset brick is performed, AFR does a conservative merge as
expected, but heal-info reports it as split-brain because there are no
clear sources.

Fix:
Modify pending flag to contain information about pending heals and
split-brains. For directories, if spit-brain flag is not set,just show
them as needing heal and not being in split-brain.
