Journal truncation strategies #24

Open gsvarovsky opened 4 years ago

gsvarovsky commented 4 years ago

The journal is unbounded, which could eventually exceed storage on a resource-limited device.

Need a (configurable, learnable) way to truncate it, with strategies to suit different applications.

This has been mitigated by #61, as the journal is more compact.

See also #31, #6 and #20.

When truncating the journal, need to publish the fact, so that others will see our internal tick, which might be quite advanced due to incoming updates. If not, and we need to accept a snapshot in future, we won't be sure that the snapshot has had all our updates (there being no way to see from a tick whether it has been externally visible). Relates to https://github.com/m-ld/m-ld-js/commit/e5d79cbf05f6b8f06ee9b46d9da50f288459ddf3
