                 Key: RIVER-64
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-64
             Project: River
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: com_sun_jini_mercury
    Affects Versions: jtsk_2.1
            Reporter: Robert Resendes
            Priority: Minor


Bugtraq ID [6246734|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6246734]

Mercury currently modifies active state then persists, in persistent modes, the changes to disk. There are cases where persistence exceptions are swallowed. At best, this can cause Mercury to be in an inconsistent state upon restart. At worst, this can cause Mercury to violate the spec because supposedly "persistent" state doesn't survive a service restart.
 
Severity on this bug is low because it's unlikely to occur under expected/normal conditions. Persisting log records should only fail if can't write to the disk (e.g. security issues, disk full, etc.). Should still let the client know of such issues.
