Comparison of full replay logs and input-only replay logs
You can generate two different kinds of replay logs:
A full replay log lets you replay the exact same behavior, ordering of emit operations, and so on, as the run that generated the replay log.
An input-only replay log contains only the external inputs to the correlator. There is no information about multi-context ordering. Consequently, if there is more than one context, there is no guarantee that you can replay execution in the same order as the original execution.
Following is a comparison of full and input-only replay logs:
Input-only replay logs are smaller and the correlator can write them faster than full replay logs.
Full replay logs always generate the same output and state. Input-only replay logs generate the same output and state only when there is a single context.
Both full replay logs and input-only replay logs contain information that is sufficient for auditing what events were sent to the correlator.
