Imagine you are assigned with the duty of designing recovery algorithms for the
following scenarios:
1.A transaction t1 is a very long transaction which is updating the values of data
items A, B, C and D, however as an algorithm designer, you are required to
speed up the 'flushing process'.
2.As an algorithm designer, your goal is to perform an in depth investigation of
system failure/crash. Also, you would like to maintain a thorough log file for the
transactions.
Using your knowledge of "Recovery Algorithms" discussed in this course, name an
appropriate algorithm for each of the above scenarios.
Also, in your own words give a 4 to 5 lines justification for each choice.
1I suggest Undo/No-redo Algorithm
 In this algorithm AFIMs of a transaction are flushed to the database disk under
WAL before it commits.
 For this reason the recovery manager undoes all transactions during recovery.
 No transaction is redone.
2I suggest Shadow Paging Algorithm
 The AFIM does not overwrite its BFIM but recorded at another place on the disk. Thus,
at any time a data item has AFIM and BFIM (Shadow copy of the data item) at two
different places on the disk.
