Transaction, journal handling for external systems. Transactions are appended to a Ozone file while they succeed. When a transaction fails it is aborted and the file is truncated, which rolls it back to the previous successful transaction. Review comment: Append transactions to a file during pre-write, truncate the file if transaction is rollbacked. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
