Alexander, thanks for your reply!

1) I've set erlang.distribution.nettick_time to 1 second and writes after
netsplit are very fast now. So this point is resolved. Do you know how this
parameter affects false positive ratio? Riak docs stay that every
nettick_time seconds netkernal will initiate remote processes
life-checking. However, it does not say anything about the mechanism. Do
you know how this failure detector works?
2) As for hinted handoff, I still can not find any solution. Variables that
I've tried to change:
   - vnode_management_timer from 10s to 1s
   - transfer_limit from 2 to 100
But still transfer take about a minute. Any other variables that I should
take a look at?
