Description

Kiran has developped a small tool that fix a corrupted JDBM database : the partition-plumber (see https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/sandbox/kayyagari/partition-plumber/).

This is the only way we can get back on our feet when the database gets corrupted (if and only if the MasterTable is not itself corrupted, something that happens quite rarely).

I suggest strongly we inject this smart tool in the server so that a user with a corrupted database can repair it by starting the server with a special option (something like apacheds -repair).

That would save our users a lot of pain (like reloading the full database, assuming they have a recent backup...)
