Disk Store File Names and Extensions
Disk store files include store management files, access control files, and the operation log, or oplog, files, consisting of one file for deletions and another for all other operations.
The next tables describe file names and extensions; they are followed by example disk store files.
File Names
File names have three parts: usage identifier, disk store name, and oplog sequence number.
First Part of File Name: Usage Identifier
| Values | Used for | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| OVERFLOW | Oplog data from overflow regions and queues only. | OVERFLOWoverflowDS1_1.crf |
| BACKUP | Oplog data from persistent and persistent+overflow regions and queues. | BACKUPoverflowDS1.if, BACKUPDEFAULT.if |
| DRLK_IF | Access control - locking the disk store. | DRLK_IFoverflowDS1.lk, DRLK_IFDEFAULT.lk |
Second Part of File Name: Disk Store Name
| Values | Used for | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| <disk store name> | Non-default disk stores. | name="overflowDS1" DRLK_IFoverflowDS1.lk, name="persistDS1" BACKUPpersistDS1_1.crf |
| DEFAULT | Default disk store name, used when persistence or overflow are specified on a region or queue but no disk store is named. | DRLK_IFDEFAULT.lk, BACKUPDEFAULT_1.crf |
Third Part of File Name: oplog Sequence Number
| Values | Used for | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Sequence number in the format _n | Oplog data files only. Numbering starts with 1. | OVERFLOWoverflowDS1_1.crf, BACKUPpersistDS1_2.crf, BACKUPpersistDS1_3.crf |
File Extensions
| File extension | Used for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| if | Disk store metadata | Stored in the first disk-dir listed for the store. Negligible size - not considered in size control. |
| lk | Disk store access control | Stored in the first disk-dir listed for the store. Negligible size - not considered in size control. |
| crf | Oplog: create, update, and invalidate operations | Pre-allocated 90% of the total max-oplog-size at creation. |
| drf | Oplog: delete operations | Pre-allocated 10% of the total max-oplog-size at creation. |
| krf | Oplog: key and crf offset information | Created after the oplog has reached the max-oplog-size. Used to improve performance at startup. |
