What I am looking for is simply a Queue interface that persists log events to disk such that control can be returned to the caller immediately after writing to the queue and even if the JVM crashes it is guaranteed that the log event will be delivered even after a restart. I've found some code that lets me do that with Berkeley DB for Java. I know that that code base is quite a bit newer than Berkeley DB itself and I haven't ever heard discussions from anyone using it to know what kinds of problems there may be. All the uses for HSQL I've ever seen basically say not to use it for production stuff, although I don't know why. Plus, I really don't need a full RDBMS to implement a queue.
