Øystein Grøvlen commented on DERBY-2872:
----------------------------------------
Another issue to think about:
If an transaction has been open since before replication was started, a
slave may need log from before log shipping started to be able to undo
the transaction at failover time. In order to be sure that failover
will succeed, I think there are two alternatives:
1) Let the master abort/rollback such transactions before it
acknowledges that replication has started.
2) Send old log records to the slave to make sure it has all
necessary log to do failover.
I think the approach of non-blocking backup is similar to alternative
2). That is, it copies all log files that may be necessary in order to
perform undo at restore.

> It would be nice to have replication functionality to Derby; many potential
> Derby users seem to want this. The attached functional specification lists
> some initial thoughts for how this feature may work.
> Dag Wanvik had a look at this functionality some months ago. He wrote a proof
> of concept patch that enables replication by copying (using file system copy)
> and redoing the existing Derby transaction log to the slave (unfortunately, I
> can not find the mail thread now).
> DERBY-2852 contains a patch that enables replication by sending dedicated
> logical log records to the slave through a network connection and redoing
> these.
> Replication has been requested and discussed previously in multiple threads,
> including these:
