---------------------------------------
Summary: Add safeguard for checkpoint corruption detection
Key: FLUME-1320
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1320
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Arvind Prabhakar
Assignee: Arvind Prabhakar
The checkpoint process can potentially be interrupted by a catastrophic failure
such as complete power loss leaving the checkpoint corrupted. When the channel
is restarted, the (corrupted) checkpoint will get loaded and there could be
dataloss as a result of this.
It is therefore necessary to have a safeguard to detect if a checkpoint
succeeded or failed.
