Use the rollback mechanism to restore the base when schema is modified
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1155
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1155
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 2.0.0
It would be a great improvement to be able to rollback a schema modification if
the schema is invalid.
For instance, injecting a wrong schema will result in an error when restarting
the server, forbiding you to use the server anymore, unless the schema
directory is destroyed.
This is axceptable if you inject the modifications in one shot, but certainly
not if it's done little by little.
I wouls suggest that we track schema modifications somwhere in the DIT (like
what we do with LDIF inject files), and allow the user to launch the server
with an option telling the server to restart in the latest correct schema
version.
Another option would be to revert to the previous version if we get an error
while loading the schema.
