Replication will be logged and you can look for a "Object replication complete" log message.

For a more detailed look at how swift handles failures, you can watch this video: http://mirror.linux.org.au/linux.conf.au/2013/mp4/Playing_with_OpenStack_Swift.mp4

(I need to post my blog post that has all that info...)

I load the cluster with some test data, and then on one of the nodes I shutdown swift and rsync.   I then purge the account, container, and object data from the node I shutdown.   When I start swift back up again on the purged node, how can I detect that replication has completed and the missing data has been restored to the node that I purged?
