Abstract

A method for recovery in a database is provided in the illustrative embodiments. A failure is detected in a first computing node, the first computing node serving the database in a cluster of computing nodes. A snapshot is created of data of the database. A subset of log entries is applied to the snapshot, the applying modifying the snapshot to result in a modified snapshot. An access of the first computing node to the data of the database is preserved. Responsive to receiving a signal of activity from the first computing node during the applying and after a grace period has elapsed, the applying is aborted such that the first computing node can continue serving the database in the cluster.
