In Swift, when a rebalance is happening, does the client have write access to the object? Does Swift have a mechanism to lock down one copy which it is moving, and allow updates to the remaining two copies and do a final sync somehow? What is the mechanism?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">2.
I did see that Swift has a configurable number of replicas. Can it be set to 1? If it is set to 1, how does it work for the question above w.r.t rebalance? I do understand a single replica does not make sense, I did want to understand what it does in that case though.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">3. If one of the nodes returns an error during a PUT(say, disk full), the request is sent to the handoff node, but how is the handoff node configured in the ring? Is it a special entry, or is it picked based on some algorithm or something else? </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;
