I think it's a great idea.  We didn't do it before only because it is 
complicated.  The good news is that if we can't conclusively infer exactly 
which parts of hte object need to be recovered from the log entry we can 
always just fall back to recovering the whole thing.  Also, the place 
where this is currently most visible is RBD small writes:

 - osd goes down
 - client sends a 4k overwrite and modifies an object
 - osd comes back up
 - client sends another 4k overwrite
 - client io blocks while osd recovers 4mb

So even if we initially ignore truncate and omap and EC and clones and 
anything else complicated I suspect we'll get a nice benefit.

I haven't thought about this too much, but my guess is that the hard part 
is making the primary's missing set representation include a partial delta 
(say, an interval_set<> indicating which ranges of the file have changed) 
in a way that gracefully degrades to recovering the whole object if we're 
not sure.

In any case, we should definitely have the design conversation!
