[Gluster-devel] Geo-rep start after snapshot restore makes the geo-rep faulty

[Shwetha Acharya]

Hi All,
I am planning to work on this
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238699> bugzilla issue.
Here, when we restore the snapshots, and start the geo-replication session,
we see that the geo-replication goes faulty. It is mainly because, the
brick path of original session and the session after snapshot restore will
be different. There is a proposed work around for this issue, according to
which we replace the old brick path with new brick path inside the index
file HTIME.xxxxxxxxxx, which basically solves the issue.

I have some doubts regarding the same.
We are going with the work around from a long time. Are there any
limitations stopping us from implementing solution for this, which I am
currently unaware of?
Is it important to have paths inside index file? Can we eliminate the paths
inside them?
Is there any concerns from snapshot side?
Are there any other general concerns regarding the same?

Regards,
Shwetha
