CSN than the last one should not be reused after crash recovery. Right?
Yes that's it.
If right, that WAL-logging seems not necessary because CSN mechanism assumes
CSN is increased monotonically. IOW, even without that WAL-logging, CSN afer
crash recovery must be larger than that before. No?
CSN collected based on time of system in this patch, but time is not reliable
all the
time. And it designed for Global CSN(for sharding) where it may rely on CSN from
other node , which generated from other machine.
So monotonically is not reliable and it need to keep it's largest CSN in wal in
case
of crash.
Thanks for the explanaion! Understood.
