-<p>AMPS includes support for transactional messaging, which includes
-persistence, consistency across restarts, and replay of messages
-published to AMPS. AMPS message queues use the transaction log
-to hold the messages in the queue. Transactional messaging is
-also the basis for replication, a key component of the
-high-availability capability in AMPS (as described in <a class="reference internal" href="ha.html#ug-ha"><span class="std std-ref">Highly Available AMPS Installations</span></a>).</p>
-<p>AMPS message queues use the transaction log as a
-persistent record of the messages that have entered the queue, the order
-of those messages, and which messages have been acknowledged and removed
-from the queue. All of these capabilities rely on the AMPS <em>transaction
-log</em>. The transaction log maintains a record of messages. You can choose
-which messages are included in the transaction log by specifying the
-message types and topics you want to record.</p>
-<p>The AMPS transaction log differs from transaction logging in a
-conventional relational database system. Unlike transaction logs that
-are intended solely to maintain the consistency of data in the system,
-the AMPS transaction log is fully queryable through the AMPS client
-APIs. For applications that need access to historical information, or
-applications that need to be able to recover state in the event of a
-client restart, the transaction log allows you to do this, relying on
-AMPS as the definitive single version of the state of the application.
-There is no need for complex logic to handle reconciliation or state
-restoration in the client. AMPS handles the difficult parts of this
-process, and the transaction log guarantees consistency.</p>
-<p>Topics covered by a transaction log are able to provide reliable
-messaging with strict consistency guarantees.</p>
-<p>When a transaction log is enabled, topics covered by the transaction log
-provide <em>atomic broadcast</em> from that instance. This means that the
-instance enforces a repeatable ordering on the messages, and guarantees
-that all subscribers receive messages reliably, in a consistent order,
-and with no gaps or duplicates.</p>
-<p>Enabling a transaction log in an instance also enables the following
-behaviors:</p>
-<ul class="simple">
-<li>When a transaction log is enabled, AMPS uses the client name provided
-by each client to manage the sequencing and integrity of the message
-stream, and to quickly detect and respond to reconnection. To allow this,
-each connection to AMPS must have a unique client name. If a duplicate
-client name is detected, one of the clients is assumed to be defunct and
-is disconnected.</li>
-<li>When a transaction log is enabled, persisted acknowledgments to a publish
-are conflated, as described in <a class="reference internal" href="acks.html#ug-ack-conflation"><span class="std std-ref">Acknowledgment Conflation and Publish Acknowledgments</span></a>.</li>
-</ul>
-<div class="section" id="recording-and-replaying-messages-with-transaction-logs">
-<span id="ha-transaction-log"></span><h2>Recording and Replaying Messages with Transaction Logs<a class="headerlink" href="#recording-and-replaying-messages-with-transaction-logs" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
-<p id="index-1">AMPS includes the ability to record messages in a <em>transaction log</em>, and
-replay those messages at a later time. This capability is key for high
-availability, since it gives subscribers the ability to resume a
-subscription at a point in time without missing messages. This
-capability is also the foundation of replication, since it gives AMPS
-the ability to preserve message streams to be synchronized to an
-instance that has gone offline.</p>
-<p>The transaction log in AMPS contains a sequential, historical record of
-messages. Each message is identified by a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bookmark</span></code>, a unique
-identifier that AMPS uses to locate the message within the overall set
-of recorded messages. The transaction log can record messages for a
-topic, a set of topics, or for filtered content on one or more topics.</p>
-<p>An application can request a subscription that replays messages from the
-transaction log. Subscriptions that replay from the transaction log are
-called <em>bookmark subscriptions</em>, since the subscription begins at a
-specific point in the transaction log identified by a specific bookmark.
-Bookmark subscriptions provide topic and content filtering in the same
-way that normal subscriptions do, and provide a set of unique
-capabilities (such as the ability to pause and resume the subscription)
-that are made possible because the subscription is provided from a
-persistent record of the message stream. Bookmark subscriptions are also
-key to high availability with AMPS. When a client is recovering from a
-restart or failure, this ability to replay allows a client to fill gaps
-in received messages and resume subscriptions without missing a message.
-This feature also allows new clients to receive an exact replay of a
-message stream. Replay from the transaction log is also useful for
-auditing, quality assurance, and backtesting.</p>
-<p>The transaction log is used in AMPS replication to ensure that all
-servers in a replication group are continually synchronized should one
-of them experience an interruption in service. For example, say an AMPS
-instance, as a member of a replication group, goes down. When it comes
-back up, it can query another AMPS instance for all of the messages it
-did not receive, thereby catching up to a point of synchronization with
-the other instances. This feature, when coupled with AMPS replication,
-ensures that message subscriptions are always available and up-to-date.</p>
-<p>The AMPS transaction log records messages that are received from a
-publisher and events that affect those messages such as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sow_delete</span></code>
-commands. AMPS does not record messages that are created through a view,
-out-of-focus messages, or event status messages created by AMPS.</p>
-<p>When a subscriber requests a replay from the transaction log, AMPS will
-deliver <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">publish</span></code> messages from the transaction log in exactly the
-order in which the instance recorded them. Messages that are not
-stored in the transaction log (for example, out-of-focus messages or
-event messages, messages that would have been produced by a view,
-acknowledgment messages to clients) are not delivered as part of
-the replay.</p>
-<div class="section" id="understanding-message-persistence">
-<h3>Understanding Message Persistence<a class="headerlink" href="#understanding-message-persistence" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
-<p>To take advantage of transactional messaging, the publisher and the AMPS
-instance work together to ensure that messages are written to persistent
-storage. AMPS lets the publisher know when the message is persisted, so
-that the publisher knows that it no longer needs to track the message.</p>
-<p>When a publisher publishes a message to AMPS, the publisher assigns each
-message a unique sequence number. Once the message has been written to
-persistent storage, AMPS uses the sequence number to acknowledge the
-message and let the publisher know that the message is persisted. Once
-AMPS has acknowledged the message, the publisher considers the message
-published. For safety, AMPS always writes a message to the local
-transaction log before acknowledging that the message is persisted. If
-the topic is configured for synchronous replication, all replication
-destinations have to persist the message before AMPS will acknowledge
-that the message is persisted.</p>
-<p>For efficiency, AMPS may not acknowledge each individual message.
-Instead, AMPS acknowledges the most recent persisted message to indicate
-that all previous messages have also been persisted, as described in
-<a class="reference internal" href="acks.html#ug-ack-conflation"><span class="std std-ref">Acknowledgment Conflation and Publish Acknowledgments</span></a>. Publishers that
-need transactional messaging do not wait for acknowledgment to publish
-more messages. Instead, publishers retain messages that haven&#8217;t been
-acknowledged, and republish messages that haven&#8217;t been acknowledged if
-failover occurs. The AMPS client libraries include this functionality
-for persistent messaging (see descriptions of the <em>publish store</em> in
-client library documentation). See the <a class="reference internal" href="ha.html#ug-guaranteed-publishing"><span class="std std-ref">Guaranteed Publishing</span></a> section
-of this guide for further details.</p>

-<p>One of the most useful and powerful features in AMPS is <em>bookmark
-subscription</em>, which is enabled by the transaction log. With bookmark
-subscription, an application requests a subscription that starts at a
-specific point in the transaction log. AMPS begins the subscription at
-the specified point, and provides messages from the transaction log.</p>
-<p>Each message in the transaction log has a <em>bookmark</em>. A <em>bookmark</em> is an
-opaque, unique identifier that is added by AMPS to each message recorded
-in the transaction log. For messages provided from a transaction log,
-the field is included in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Bookmark</span></code> header of the message. AMPS
-guarantees that bookmarks for the instance are monotonically increasing,
-which enables AMPS to rapidly find an individual bookmark within the
-transaction log.</p>
-<p>A bookmark subscription simply requests that AMPS begin the subscription
-with the first message following the bookmark provided with the
-subscription. AMPS locates the bookmark in the transaction log, and
-begins the subscription at that point in time.</p>
-<p>One way to think about a bookmark subscription is that AMPS publishes to
-the subscribing client only those messages that:</p>
-<ol class="arabic simple">
-<li>Have bookmarks after the provided bookmark</li>
-<li>Match the subscription&#8217;s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Topic</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Filter</span></code></li>
-<li>Have been written to the transaction log</li>
-</ol>
-<p>AMPS provides these messages in the order in which they were recorded to
-the transaction log. Since a bookmark subscription requires a
-transaction log, when a client requests a bookmark subscription for a
-topic that is not being recorded in the transaction log, AMPS returns an
-error.</p>
-<p>If the subscription requests a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">completed</span></code> acknowledgment, that
-acknowledgment will be delivered to the subscription once replay has completed.
-Messages delivered to the subscription after the acknowledgment is delivered
-are from new publishes.</p>
-<p>AMPS allows an application to submit a comma-delimited list of bookmark
-values as the bookmark for a subscription request. In this case, AMPS
-begins replay at the oldest bookmark in the list. The client controls
-the bookmark provided on the subscription request. For a bookmark
-subscription, the AMPS server does not keep a persistent record of which
-bookmarks a specific client or subscription has processed. The AMPS
-client libraries provide facilities for easily tracking the messages
-which an application has processed so the application can resume at the
-appropriate point in the transaction log.</p>
-<p>Requesting replay from the transaction log is how AMPS applications
-manage <em>resumable subscriptions</em>. The application keeps track of which
-messages have been processed, and requests replay from the appropriate
-point in the transaction log to resume the message stream. This record-keeping
-is built into the AMPS client libraries, and most often handled
-transparently when a <em>bookmark store</em> is set for the client. Notice that
-this means that the AMPS server itself does not track the progress of
-individual subscriptions, nor does the application need to inform the server
-of how far the subscription has progressed. The application state needed
-to resume the subscription is entirely handled on the application side,
-with no involvement by the AMPS server. (For details on how specific
-client libraries manage the application state, see the <em>Developer Guide</em>
-for that client library.)</p>
-<div class="admonition tip">
-<p class="first admonition-title">Tip</p>
-<p class="last">Bookmark subscriptions are provided from the transaction log
-rather than the live publish stream. This lets AMPS adapt the
-pace of replay to the pace at which the subscriber is consuming
-replayed messages without triggering slow client offlining.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="admonition tip">
-<p class="first admonition-title">Tip</p>
-<p class="last">While there are similarities between a bookmark subscription
-used for replay and a State of the World (SOW) query, the transaction
-log and SOW are independent features that can be used separately.
-The SOW gives  a snapshot of the current view of the latest data, while the
-journal is capable of playback of previous messages. Historical
-SOW queries provide a snapshot of the SOW at a defined point in
-the past, and are provided by the SOW database rather than the
-transaction log.</p>
-</div>
-<p>There are different ways that a client can request a bookmark replay
-from the transaction log. Each of these bookmark types meets a
-different need and enables a different recovery strategy that an
-application can use. The sections below describe the recovery types, the
-cases in which they can be used, and how the 60East clients implement
-them.</p>
-<div class="section" id="replay-of-full-transaction-log">
-<h4>Replay of Full Transaction Log<a class="headerlink" href="#replay-of-full-transaction-log" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p id="index-4">The epoch bookmark, when requested on a subscription, will replay the
-transaction log starting at the very beginning.
-Once the transaction log has been replayed in its entirety, then the
-subscriber will begin receiving messages on the live incoming stream of
-messages. A subscriber does this by requesting a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">0</span></code> in the
-<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bookmark</span></code> header field of their subscription. The AMPS clients
-provide a constant for epoch, typically represented as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EPOCH</span></code>.</p>
-<p>This type of bookmark can be used in a case where the subscriber has
-begun after the start of an event, and needs to catch up on all of the
-messages that have been published to the topic.</p>
-<p>To ensure that no messages from the subscription are lost during the
-replay, AMPS replays messages from the transaction log until the client
-reaches the last message in the transaction log. Once all of the
-existing messages in the transaction log have been sent to the client,
-AMPS will cut over to the live subscription stream and provide messages
-to the client as soon as they are persisted.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="section" id="bookmark-replay-from-now">
-<h4>Bookmark Replay from NOW<a class="headerlink" href="#bookmark-replay-from-now" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p id="index-5">The NOW bookmark, when requested on a subscription, declines to replay
-any messages from the transaction log, and instead begins streaming
-messages from the live stream - returning any messages that would be
-published to the transaction log that match the subscription&#8217;s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Topic</span></code>
-and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Filter</span></code>.</p>
-<p>This type of bookmark is used when a client is concerned with messages
-that will be published to the transaction log, but is unconcerned with
-replaying the historical messages in the transaction log. This strategy
-is often used for applications that want to ensure that they do not miss
-messages, even if the application temporarily loses connectivity, but
-are not concerned with older messages. For this case, the application
-subscribes with NOW when the application starts, and then re-establishes
-the subscription with the most recently-processed bookmark if
-connectivity is lost. This resubscription behavior is typically handled
-by the client reconnection logic (as in the 60East <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">HAClient</span></code>
-implementations).</p>
-<p>The NOW bookmark is performed using a subscribe query with &#8220;0|1|&#8221; as
-the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bookmark</span></code> field. The AMPS clients provide a constant for this
-value, typically represented as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">NOW</span></code>.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="section" id="bookmark-replay-with-a-bookmark">
-<h4>Bookmark Replay with a Bookmark<a class="headerlink" href="#bookmark-replay-with-a-bookmark" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p id="index-6">Clients that store the bookmarks from published messages can use those
-bookmarks to recover from an interruption in service. By placing a
-subscribe query with the last bookmark recorded, a client will get a
-replay of all messages persisted to the transaction log after that

-<p>To perform a bookmark replay, the client places a bookmark subscription

-<p>A bookmark subscription must always start at a specific point in the
-transaction log. The AMPS server uses a bookmark to locate that
-point in the transaction log and begin replay at that point.</p>
-<p>If a bookmark is unknown (that is, the transaction log
-does not contain that bookmark), the AMPS server does not have a specific
-point at which to begin the replay and will assume that the subscriber
-has failed over from another instance that has not yet replicated
-publishes to this instance, and begin replay at NOW (the end of the
-transaction log).</p>

-<h4>Developer Note: the MOST_RECENT value<a class="headerlink" href="#developer-note-the-most-recent-value" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p id="index-7">The AMPS client libraries provide a special constant value that requests

-<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MOST_RECENT</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RECENT</span></code>, or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">recent</span></code>. When the application requests a
-bookmark subscription with a bookmark of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MOST_RECENT</span></code>, the client library
-looks for the most recent bookmarks processed for that subscription, then
-provides the appropriate bookmark or list of bookmarks when resubscribing.
-This process helps to ensure that the subscription begins at the last
-processed message, and the application receives the next unprocessed message
-for the subscription. If there is no record of a subscription, the AMPS clients
-will start with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EPOCH</span></code>, so that the first time a subscription is

-<p>To set a starting and stopping point, a subscription provides
-a subscription range specifier with the bookmark. The format of the
-subscription range specifier is as follows:</p>

-<p>Bookmarks provided for a subscription range specifier can be either

-<p>AMPS allows future timestamps in a range specifier. For example, it would
-be valid for an application to enter a subscription that collects messages
-for a full business day and then completes, even if the application is
-started before business hours.  AMPS will begin delivering messages at the
-start time specified, and deliver a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">completed</span></code> ack (if requested) and

-<p>The starting and stopping points are most often provided as timestamps.
-AMPS also allows an application to specify starting and stopping points
-using message bookmarks. In this case, rather than finding the specific
-time specified, AMPS finds the point in the log at which the bookmark
-was recorded.</p>
-<p>An application can choose to submit a list of bookmarks as the starting or
-stopping point. In this case, AMPS will find the <em>earliest</em> bookmark in the
-starting point list (as recorded in the local transaction log) and the <em>latest</em>
-bookmark in the stopping point list (as recorded in the local transaction log), and
-replay as though those two bookmarks had been provided to the replay command.</p>

-<h4>Delivery Rate Control for Bookmark Subscriptions<a class="headerlink" href="#delivery-rate-control-for-bookmark-subscriptions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p id="index-10">AMPS allows subscribers to specify the maximum delivery rate for
-messages delivered from a bookmark subscription. A subscriber specifies
-the maximum rate at which AMPS should deliver messages to the
-subscription. AMPS then limits the rate at which replay from the
-transaction log occurs so that the overall rate does not exceed the
-specified maximum.  Rate control is not available for subscriptions
-that use the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">live</span></code> option.</p>
-<p>To request rate control, a subscriber provides the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">rate</span></code> option on
-the subscription. A rate can be specified in either messages per second,
-number of bytes delivered per second, or a multiple of the original
-delivery rate. For example, the following subscription option limits
-delivery to 1000 messages per second:</p>
-<div class="code highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">rate</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">1000</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>To limit delivery to 500KB per second, a subscriber would provide this
-option:</p>
-<div class="code highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">rate</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">500</span><span class="n">KB</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>To limit delivery to double the speed at which messages were originally
-published, a subscriber would provide this option:</p>
-<div class="code highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">rate</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">2</span><span class="n">X</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>To limit delivery to half the speed at which messages were originally
-published, a subscriber would provide this option:</p>
-<div class="code highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">rate</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mf">.5</span><span class="n">X</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>When using a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">rate</span></code> that is a factor of the original replay speed,
-you may want AMPS to skip over long gaps. For example, you may want
-to do load testing by replaying several days&#8217; worth of operations
-at a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">5x</span></code> multiplier. In that case, however, your load test does
-not need to be idle when there are gaps during which no messages are
-produced (for example, outside of trading hours or during holidays). For
-this situation, AMPS provides a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">rate_max_gap</span></code> option that sets the maximum
-amount of time for a replay to wait to produce a message.  For example,
-with an option string like:</p>
-<div class="code highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">rate</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">5</span><span class="n">X</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="n">rate_max_gap</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">10</span><span class="n">s</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>AMPS will attempt to produce messages at 5 times the original publish
-rate. In the event that there is a gap between messages of more than 50
-seconds in the original publish stream (that is, 10 seconds in the replay),
-AMPS will wait for 10 seconds and then &#8220;skip ahead&#8221; to the next message in

-<h4>Pausing and Resuming Bookmark Subscriptions<a class="headerlink" href="#pausing-and-resuming-bookmark-subscriptions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>As of version 5.0, AMPS offers the ability to pause a bookmark
-subscription. When a subscriber requests that AMPS pause the
-subscription, AMPS stops providing messages from the bookmark
-subscription, but does not remove the subscription. The subscriber can
-then resume the subscription, and AMPS will again begin providing
-messages from the subscription. While the subscription is paused, AMPS
-maintains a record of the current position in the transaction log, and
-begins replay from that point.</p>
-<p>This feature is most useful for starting replay of a number of
-subscriptions at the same point in the transaction log, and
-ensuring that those subscriptions are resumed together and
-progress at the same rate. This can be useful for testing purposes,
-or for reconstructing a sequence of events that involve multiple
-subscriptions.</p>
-<p>Notice that sending a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pause</span></code> command for a subscription does not
-affect messages that have already been sent to a client, and that
-bookmark replays will automatically pace themselves to the rate that
-a client is consuming messages. This means that, while <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pause</span></code>
-can be used to request that AMPS temporarily halt a subscription, this
-option is not recommended to control message rate for a client
-that is oversubscribed.</p>
-<p id="index-11">An application may create a subscription in the paused state by including
-<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pause</span></code> as an option on the initial <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">subscribe</span></code> command. To pause an
-active subscription, a subscriber sends a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">subscribe</span></code> command with the
-existing subscription ID and the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pause</span></code> option. To resume a subscription,
-a subscriber sends a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">subscribe</span></code> command with the subscription ID (or a
-comma-separated list of subscription IDs) and the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">resume</span></code> option. The
-AMPS clients provide convenience functions or constants for the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pause</span></code>
-and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">resume</span></code> options.</p>
-<p>AMPS allows a given client to pause or resume multiple subscriptions at
-once.</p>
-<p>When multiple bookmark subscriptions are resumed at the same time, AMPS
-will attempt to combine replay for the subscriptions. When AMPS can
-combine replay, AMPS will guarantee that messages across subscriptions
-are delivered from the same replay, which can help to preserve order
-across subscriptions. AMPS can combine subscriptions when they are
-delivered to the same client connection, were paused at the same
-bookmark, delivered at the same rate and are resumed with the same
-command. This feature can be useful for synchronizing message delivery
-across a number of subscriptions. When using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pause</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">resume</span></code>
-for this purpose, an application typically includes the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pause</span></code> option
-on a number of subscriptions when the subscriptions are created, and
-then resumes the subscriptions when the application is ready to begin
-the replay.</p>
-<p>Pausing a subscription stops AMPS from sending messages to the client
-once the pause command is processed. However, any messages already on
-the network, or in a network buffer on the client or the server will be
-delivered to the client.</p>
-<p>AMPS allows you to begin a subscription in the paused state by providing
-the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pause</span></code> option when creating the subscription.</p>
-<p>AMPS removes a paused subscription if the subscriber disconnects: for
-restarting a subscription across subscriber restarts, use the basic
-bookmark subscription features as described above.</p>

-<h4>Conflation and Bookmark Subscriptions<a class="headerlink" href="#conflation-and-bookmark-subscriptions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>

-<p>Conflation for bookmark subscriptions works the same way that conflation
-for regular subscriptions works. Messages from the replay are held by
-AMPS for the conflation interval. If during that interval the replay
-finds a message with the same <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">conflation_key</span></code> value, AMPS replaces the
-held message with the message from the replay. At the end of the
-conflation interval, AMPS provides the currently held message to the
-subscriber. During replay from the transaction log, the conflation interval
-refers to the timeline of the messages being replayed. That is,
-a conflation interval of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">1s</span></code> will provide conflated messages with
-the same <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">conflation_key</span></code> value published during the same second,
-even if during transaction log replay the messages are replayed at a
-much higher rate.</p>
-<p>When using conflation, the bookmark provided on a message post conflation,

-<p>AMPS supports two distinct options for specifying message durability. By
-default, messages are provided to a bookmark subscription when they are
-persisted to the local transaction log.</p>
-<p>Once replay from the transaction log is finished, AMPS sends messages to
-subscribers as the messages are processed. By default, AMPS waits until

-which AMPS delivers messages once replay from the transaction log has
-finished.</p>

-<h4>Using the &#8216;fully_durable&#8217; Option for Bookmark Subscriptions<a class="headerlink" href="#using-the-fully-durable-option-for-bookmark-subscriptions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>With the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">fully_durable</span></code> option, once replay from the transaction log
-is finished, AMPS sends a message to the subscriber only when the
-message has been persisted in the local transaction log and all
-synchronous downstream replication destinations have acknowledged the
-message. This option is useful for applications where processing of a
-message should not begin until more than one AMPS instance has persisted
-the message.</p>
-<p>This option will typically introduce more latency for incoming messages
-when those messages must be replicated. When this option is used and one
-or more of the synchronous downstream replication destinations that
-receives messages for this topic is offline, the instance will not
-deliver incoming messages until that destination comes back online or is

-<p>In some cases, reducing latency may be more important than consistency.
-To support these cases, AMPS provides a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">live</span></code> option on bookmark

-once replay has finished, AMPS sends messages to subscribers <em>before</em>
-the message has been persisted. This can provide a small reduction in
-latency at the expense of increasing the risk of inconsistency upon
-failover. For example, if a publisher does not republish a message after
-failover, your application may receive a message that is not stored in

-leave gaps in the remaining files. For example, say there
-are three journal files, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">001</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">002</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">003</span></code>. If only
-<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">002</span></code> is removed, then the next AMPS restart could potentially
-overwrite the journal file <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">003</span></code>, causing an unrecoverable
-problem.</p>
-</div>
-<p>When using AMPS actions to manage journal files, AMPS ensures that all
-replays from a journal file are complete, all queue messages in that
-journal file have been delivered (and acknowledged, if required), and
-all messages from a journal file have been successfully replicated
-before removing the file.</p>
-<div class="section" id="reference-to-file-types">
-<h4>Reference to File Types<a class="headerlink" href="#reference-to-file-types" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>AMPS creates the following types of files as part of creating and
-managing the transaction log. Notice that this includes both files that
-contain messages (<em>journal files</em>) and a set of files created by AMPS
-to improve efficiency when the instance is restarting and recovering the
-state of the transaction log.</p>
-<p>The files for a specific instance are prefixed with the instance <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Name</span></code>.
-An AMPS instance will only create files that are prefixed with the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Name</span></code>
-of the instance, and on startup will only recover files that are prefixed
-with the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Name</span></code> of the instance.</p>

-<p>The transaction log maintains a full record of the messages published

-<p>Finding an exact sequence of messages recorded by an instance can
-be useful in troubleshooting issues with applications or AMPS itself.
-The simplest way to find a sequence of messages in the AMPS
-transaction log is by using the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">amps-grep</span></code> utility.</p>
-<p>When used to find records in a transaction log, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">amps-grep</span></code> also
-includes the header information for each journal file in the output,
-to help in cases where the intent of searching the journal is to
-be able to preserve a sequence of messages or analyze the journals
-further.</p>

-<h3>Finding Messages from a Specific Client<a class="headerlink" href="#finding-messages-from-a-specific-client" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
-<p>When troubleshooting a publisher, it&#8217;s often useful to be able
-to see the set of messages published by a particular publisher.</p>
-<p>To find messages published from a specific publisher, use the
-following general pattern:</p>
-<pre>$amps-grep --client=<em>client_name</em> <em>journal_directory</em>/*.journal &gt; out.txt</pre><p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">amps-grep</span></code> command calculates the set of possible client name hashes for the
-given client name and returns the transaction log entries for those messages.
-The Linux shell then writes those entries to the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">out.txt</span></code> file.</p>

-<p>When troubleshooting message flow on a given topic, it&#8217;s often useful to be able
-to see the full set of messages published to that topic.</p>
-<p>To find messages published to a specific topic, provide the topic name to the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">amps-grep</span></code>

-<pre>$amps-grep <em>topic_name</em> <em>journal_directory</em>/*.journal &gt; out.txt</pre><p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">amps-grep</span></code> command searches the journal files for all occurrences of the <em>topic_name</em> provided

-<h3>Finding Messages with Specific Data<a class="headerlink" href="#finding-messages-with-specific-data" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
-<p>In some cases, it can also be useful to find records with specific data. For example,

-<p>To find messages with specific data, provide the data to the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">amps-grep</span></code> utility as
