Abstract
A database server receives a request from a client application for performing a data transaction on persistent data storage. The request is sent to a set of replication servers. An acknowledgement for the request is received from each replication server, including a start sequence number and an end sequence number for data that is stored in local cache of the replication server, and a latest committed sequence number for data that was written to the persistent data storage by the replication server. A maximum value of latest committed sequence numbers received from the set of replication servers is determined. For each replication server, it is examined whether there is a gap between the start sequence number for data stored in local cache and the maximum value of the latest committed sequence numbers. Based on the examining, it is determined whether there is an occurrence of loss of data.
