This at least checks the file is present, and the Key exists in the
index of that file. If the value is corrupt it will be removed by
compation, and then this will fail (unless the file is never compacted).
TODO: resolve issus of files which are corrupt - but never compacted
- a job for backup?
fold objects which snaps in the fold was implemented incorrectly - it
took information from the LedgeCache at the point of the request, not
at the point of the fold. So the LedgerCache SQN may have been
surpassed in the Penciller by the time the fold was called.
When rolling we already know the last_key - no need to seek for it on
startup.
The time it takes for this seek needs to be considered with regards to
startup time. Can we do without knowing lastkey?
This allows for deleted journals to be retained for a period (the
waste_retnetion_period). The idea being that a backup strategy can
ensure that all journals are backed up, even ones created and removed
from within a backup period - so that any restore pont is possible.
This is also a pre-cursor to removing some of the PromptDelete
complexity from the Inker Clerk - all compactions can prompt deletion as
deletion is now deferred.
Leveled will now signal the need for a pause due to back-pressure, but
not actually pause itself. The hope is that in a riak implementation
this pause can be managed by the put_fsm, and so not lock the store.
Clena the API of Riak specific methods, and also resolve timing issue in
simple_server unit test. Previously this would end up with missing data
(and a lower sequence number after start) because of the penciller_clerk
timeout being relatively large in the context of this test. Now the
timeout has bene reduced the L0 slot is cleared by the time of the
close. To make sure an extra sleep has been added as a precaution to
avoid any intermittent issues.
Added a test of journal compaction with a registered snapshot and it
showed that the deleting of files did not correctly check the list of
registerd snapshots. Corrected.
Busted the hashtable in a Journal file, and demonstrated it can be fixed
by changing the extension name (no need to recover from backup if only
the hashtable is bust)
Changes the stratup otpions to a prolist to make it easier to get
environment variables as default.
Tried application:start - and completely baffled as to how to get this
to work.
