> Currently if the edit log tailer experiences an error replaying edits in the
> middle of a file, it will go back to retrying from the beginning of the file
> on the next tailing iteration. This is incorrect since many of the edits will
> have already been replayed, and not all edits are idempotent.
> Instead, we either need to (a) support reading from the middle of a finalized
> file (ie skip those edits already applied), or (b) abort the standby if it
> hits an error while tailing. If "a" isn't simple, let's do "b" for now and
> come back to 'a' later since this is a rare circumstance and better to abort
> than be incorrect.
