---------------------------------
bulk close 1.9.13
> Add tooling for recovering from an outdated journal
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OAK-7866
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-7866
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: segment-tar
> Reporter: Francesco Mari
> Assignee: Francesco Mari
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.10, 1.9.13
>
>
> Some error conditions in the Segment Store might prevent the journal from
> being updated. After a restart the system will be rolled back to the latest
> version persisted in the journal. Every change performed after the system
> stopped updating the journal appears to be lost.
> Unless some deep inconsistencies are found in the segments, it might be
> possible to recover from an outdated journal by performing the following
> steps:
> * Backup the previous journal.
> * Scan the segments for node records representing super-roots.
> * Order the found records by segment creation date (ascending) and record
> number (ascending).
> * Create a new journal with the ordered entries.
> * Perform a sanity check of the journal (as the "check" tool does).
> We should have a tool executing these steps. Being a "porcelain" tool, it
> should have a small and stable command-line interface, be safe in the face of
> unexpected error conditions, and be friendly when communicating to the user
> both in case of success and in case of errors.
