Where does our Icee process checkpointer fit in?
In its pros and cons it is most like an operating system support technique.
It sits
transparently underneath a modified JVM. That transparency has advantages
for implementation and orthogonality, but disadvantages for how data
is stored and how much data can be stored.
Please note that I don't claim this to be the best technique for Java persistence; instead, I mean only to describe its place in a constellation of persistence techniques. |
