Description

For troubleshooting borked instances we should have a way to inspect (and write to?) the complete tree, including items that are hidden. Permission tree, version tree, indexes, etc come to mind.

We need to design this tool in a way that does not compromise security, but on the other hand I think we need write capabilities in order to fix broken items if needed. Not sure, how to best do this...

The tool ideally can be limited to look at

• specific paths only and
• ranges of MVCC revisions
