Maintaining the benefit of parallel splitting of ops between primary and secondary storage clusters in synchronous replication while adding support for op logging and early engagement of op logging

A multi-site distributed storage system having a primary storage site with a primary storage cluster and a secondary storage site with a secondary storage cluster comprising:

• one or more processing resources;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more processing resources, having stored therein instructions, which when executed by the one or more processing resources cause the one or more processing resources to:
• initiate a reconciliation procedure having compound operations when a parallel split operation fails on a first storage object of the primary storage cluster and succeeds on a replicated second storage object of the secondary storage cluster, which causes a data divergence;
• and
• undo the operation that succeeds on the secondary storage cluster and reading a first version of data from the primary storage cluster and storing this first version of data on the secondary storage cluster, wherein the reconciliation procedure is being performed at a granularity of the parallel split operation while maintaining synchronous copies of data on the first storage object and the replicated second storage object in a synchronous state to avoid a resynchronization process between the first storage object of a primary storage cluster and the replicated second storage object of a secondary storage cluster of the distributed storage system.
