> In a cluster deployment, revisions are saved in Journal Table in the DB. 
> After a while a huge number of revisions can get created (around 70 k in our 
> test). When a new host is added to the cluster, it tries to read all the 
> revisions and hence the following error:

> This can also happen to an existing host in the cluster when the number of 
> revisions returned is very high.
> Possible solutions:
> 1. Cleaning old revisions using Janitor thread: This may be good for new 
> hosts. But it will fail in a scenario when sync delay is high (few hours) and 
> number of updates is high in existing hosts in the cluster
> 2. Increases memory allocated to Java process: This is not a feasible option 
> always
> 3. Limit the number of updates read from the DB in any cycle.
