The first completed implementation in the new refactorised scoreboarding code is a scheme for checkpointing and crash-recovery of the scoreboards and alignment of the scoreboarding with regular clock-hours/day-periods. Both of these improvements are discussed below:
CheckPointing
In order to implement check-pointing, I save the state of the scoreboards to disk, while processing the scoreboards for each flow-file. When the program starts for the first time, it checks for checkpoints on disk before starting the scoreboading of every direction and if a checkpoint is present it unmarshalls the data from the checkpoint and starts updating the scoreboards from that point on.
