> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Bug

>
> Callers of the {{check}} command can specify an alternative journal with the
> {{\-\-journal}} option. This option instructs the {{ConsistencyChecker}} to
> check the revisions stored in that file instead of the ones stored in the
> default {{journal.log}}.
> I spotted at least two problems while using {{\-\-journal}} on a repository
> with a corrupted {{journal.log}} that didn't contain any valid revision.
> First, the path to the {{FileStore}} is validated by
> {{FileStoreHelper#isValidFileStoreOrFail}}, which checks for the existence of
> a {{journal.log}} in the specified folder. But if a {{journal.log}} doesn't
> exist and the user specified a different journal on the command line this
> check should be ignored.
> Second, when opening the {{FileStore}} the default {{journal.log}} is scanned
> to determine the initial revision of the head state. If a user specifies an
> alternative journal on the command line, that journal should be used instead
> of the default {{journal.log}}. It might be that the default journal contains
> no valid revision, which would force the system to crash when opening a new
> instance of {{FileStore}}.
