Mhh, it basically depends what exactly happens when the split occours. If the writes on both nodes would succeed, the client would sees an acknowledge from both nodes and will never retry. And since it is impossible to merge the changes when recovering from the split, writes to one of the writes would be lost. If the write operations would block until the split is resolved (through shooting one node), the client should eventually detect a failure and deal with it - retry the request with the "good" target.
