Summary:
The "one size fits all" approach with WAL recovery will only introduce inconvenience for our varied clients as we go forward. The current recovery is a bit heuristic. We introduce the following levels of consistency while replaying the WAL.
1. RecoverAfterRestart (kTolerateCorruptedTailRecords)
This mocks the current recovery mode.
2. RecoverAfterCleanShutdown (kAbsoluteConsistency)
This is ideal for unit test and cases where the store is shutdown cleanly. We tolerate no corruption or incomplete writes.
3. RecoverPointInTime (kPointInTimeRecovery)
This is ideal when using devices with controller cache or file systems which can loose data on restart. We recover upto the point were is no corruption or incomplete write.
4. RecoverAfterDisaster (kSkipAnyCorruptRecord)
This is ideal mode to recover data. We tolerate corruption and incomplete writes, and we hop over those sections that we cannot make sense of salvaging as many records as possible.
Test Plan:
(1) Run added unit test to cover all levels.
(2) Run make check.
