Designing applications for persistence-enabled correlators
When you are designing an application that you will deploy on a persistence-enabled correlator, you should consider the following issues:
*You do not need to re-inject code after you restart a persistence-enabled correlator. During recovery, the correlator obtains injected code from the recovery datastore.
*To recover from a hardware failure, you must maintain a copy of the recovery datastore on some form of reliable, shared storage. You want to ensure that the storage medium for the recovery datastore is not a single point of failure. This typically means putting it on a fileserver with suitable levels of redundancy (disk, power supply, network and controller) that is accessible by two correlator host servers.
*The length of time between when a correlator shuts down and when it restarts is unpredictable. Consequently, you might want to implement onBeginRecovery() actions that do the following:
*Specify behavior according to how long the down time was. For example, you could write a listener that ignores a subset of old events but matches on a new event.
*Terminate on all wait(...) listeners. Such listeners have the potential to fire many times because the time jumps from the time of the last committed snapshot to the time at which the correlator was restarted.
*It is possible for persistent monitors to communicate with non-persistent monitors and to set up state, such as subscriptions to a stream of data, in a non-persistent monitor. If you need to recover this state, you must write code to do it in the onConcludeRecovery() action of a persistent monitor or an event within a persistent monitor. In a persistent monitor, having an event that manages an activity in a non-persistent monitor is a recommended practice.
