---------------------------------------------
I think ur proposal allows a concurrent reader to read all entries upto the
pennultimate committed record from the ledger. This sounds fine for now.
On a related question: if the writer of the ledger dies a sudden death, how
long will it take after that event before the reader can read *all* the
committed entries from that ledger?

> Components: contrib-bookkeeper
> Reporter: Flavio Junqueira
>
> The BookKeeper client currently does not allow a client to read from an open
> ledger. That is, if the creator of a ledger is still writing to it (and the
> ledger is not closed), then an attempt to open the same ledger for reading
> will execute the code to recover the ledger, assuming that the ledger has not
> been correctly closed.
> It seems that there are applications that do require the ability to read from
> a ledger while it is being written to, and the main goal of this jira is to
> discuss possible implementations of this feature.
