Rejecting an incorrect LDIF entry of config or schema partitions and reverting it to the last known stable state
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DIRSERVER-1406
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1406
             Project: Directory ApacheDS
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: schema
            Reporter: Kiran Ayyagari
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.5.0


(excerpt from the IRC chat on #apache-directory-dev)

Basically if we encounter an LDIF that is incorrect or correct yet invalid based on schema information during the LDIF entry validation stage, then the server will ...
1). not accept the alteration made (we have timestamps and a changelog to detect this)
2). move the change to original-file-name.rejected 
3). revert the old state of that schema object using the changelog

The combination of options 2&3 will be cool to have so that we can always keep the server in a stable running condition (assuming that it was started initially from a correct base) or can be restarted without having problems if it was started after making a wrong configuration/schema change.
