Abstract

One embodiment provides a method for recovery from failures during garbage collection processing in a system including performing, by a processor, chronological garbage collection transactionally. A specific offset within a target slot of a log structure associated with the garbage collection transaction is recorded. Records are skipped from an initial offset in the target slot of the log structure recorded by the garbage collection transaction until an end of the target slot.
