MongoDB, Data Durability and Improvements coming in 1.8
Mathias Meyer:
My point here is simple: even when killed using the KILL signal, a database should not be unrecoverable. It simply shouldn’t be allowed to happen. You can blame the guy all you want for using kill -9, but consider the fact that it’s the process equivalent of a server or even just the database process crashing hard. Which happens, believe it or not.
[…] And this is what horrifies me, people seem to accept that this is simply one of MongoDB’s trade-offs, and that it should just be considered normal. They shouldn’t
That is no different than what I’ve said.
