Corrupt database causes server startup to fail

Description

The server left one of its databases in a corrupt state, which causes the startup to fail. The database corruption happened when I was editing the directory using JXplorer.
I think database corruption should not cause the startup to fail. Instead it should try to recover as much as possible.

I will attach the database in question. The partition configuration is this:
  <bean id="tcatTestPartition" class="org.apache.ldap.server.configuration.MutableDirectoryPartitionConfiguration">
    <property name="name"><value>tcat</value></property>
    <property name="suffix"><value>dc=tcat,dc=test</value></property>
    <property name="indexedAttributes">
      <set>
        <value>dc</value>
        <value>ou</value>
        <value>objectClass</value>
        <value>krb5PrincipalName</value>
        <value>uid</value>
      </set>
    </property>
    <property name="contextEntry">
      <value>
        objectClass: top
        objectClass: domain
        objectClass: extensibleObject
        dc: tcat
      </value>
    </property>
  </bean>

This is the log from the failed startup attempt:
