Or a TDB wrapper layer which records "here's what I did" (you could put it
in a TDB!).
But offline Tridge suggested stealing the ctdb replay code which does this
for cross-cluster transactions. That would also work nicely for tracing...
Best of all, the TDB2 extensible attribute mechanism makes this easy to
add later.
Thanks,
Rusty.
