Data corruption in data file

[Anton Golovin]

How would you prevent it? What if JVM crashes and a thread fails to write record completely? How to handle that?

[Nathaniel Stoddard]

If it's not in the requirements, I wouldn't address it at all.

I guess the probabilty of the JVM crashing while writing the Data file is very unlightly, you must be very unlucky to have encountered that.

For safety precaution, I guess that's why people do backups, I think you have to assume that the CSR don't take care of backups, it's up to the job of the administrator.

Just my two cents of opinion

It is taken care of by the fact you validate (or should validate) the data file stringently and don't allow the use of any file that fails.
