This way, log event processing can resume event-by-event afterwards, eventually discovering the watermarks, without ever needing to cache log event entries. This is why our approach is briefly pausing log processing during steps 2–4 so that the watermarks are not missed. References [1] Das, Shirshanka, et al. “ All aboard the Databus!:
