How is one supposed to tell if a database in 'master' mode has exceeded its log buffer limit after its become isolated from the 'slave'?
The description from the admin guide below indicates it can happen, but not how to tell it has. <quote> Transactions are allowed to continue processing while the master tries to reconnect with the slave. Log records generated while the connection is down are buffered in main memory. If the log buffer reaches its size limit before the connection can be reestablished, the master replication functionality is stopped. You can use the property derby.replication.logBufferSize to configure the size limit of the buffer; see Tuning Derby for details </quote> Thanks Glenn McGregor
