Description

If the database reaches a state where read transactions work, but write transactions are not able to complete for an extended period of time, data may become corrupted and unrecoverable.

Workaround

Restart the database if the database enters a state where write transactions cannot be completed.

Fix

Data corruption is prevented and the database automatically restarts in those scenarios.
