Hi,

I have an architecture question.  Is the commit log replicated anywhere?

What would happen if the disk where the log is stored were lost during a transaction?  How could the transaction commit state be recovered?  Would the system be 'stuck' not knowing the state of a transaction?  Would it be possible to store the commit log in a JDBC database?

Cheers,
Dan

Hi,

We do not (currently) try to replicate commit logs - rather we recommend that you solve this at the disk/OS level.

In principle it would be possible to store this in a DB, but probably that would be slower than flushing to disk.
