Disclaimer: I wrote that article.

Percona toolkit has some useful stuff. Thanks for the link.

In this case our solution ended up being pretty much the same as pt-table-sync except that it made use of our distributed task queuing system so was MUCH faster than if we had used a single threaded perl script. (Up to a few hundred chunks of rows being checksummed/synced in parallel.) I didn't talk about this aspect directly in the article to keep it focused.

Not sure if it would be possible to use pt-table-sync in that way, certainly would have taken a lot more work to get a third-party perl script to distribute the work through our job queue.
