Add crc data checksum to uv Snapshot about raft HOT 10 CLOSED

FWIW the rational behind that was that the application should be entirely responsible for what is contained in the snapshot data file, and possibly come up with its own way to ensure data integrity. YMMV

from raft.

Sometimes we receive issues where one of the snapshot files seems to cause issues, and it's difficult to pinpoint where it went wrong. If we know if what we read from disk is the same as what we received from the application it could already eliminate a potential source of error. That was a bit my reasoning, don't know if you think it makes sense.

from raft.

Do we have more specific data about the issues we saw? Like a copy of the data directory of the broken deployment (or at least of the snapshot file)

from raft.

Yes, we have one. Not sure if I can share though (if you're interested), will check.

from raft.

It's okay not to share, I wouldn't have time to check it, just wondering if you have more details about what's wrong with the file, e.g. if you used a debugger to understand where SQLite fails when opening it (assuming that's what's happening).

A dump of the db reveals errors like this:

sqlite> SELECT id, instance_id, name, creation_date, stateful, description, expiry_date  FROM instances_snapshots WHERE instance_id = 14 AND id > 2360 AND id < 2600;

This is when trying to load the latest snapshot, the oldest snapshot is fine and is also +- 0.7MB bigger (5.5MB vs 4.8MB, not necessarily relevant info).

from raft.

Interesting that a couple of rows where returned, so the file is not complete garbage. I guess the database schema is not corrupted? SELECT * FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' or something like that.

from raft.

Yes, that runs fine.

Checksum has been added as part of #207.
