Description

In FlumeEventQueue class if a failure happens between:

    inflightPuts.serializeAndWrite();
    inflightTakes.serializeAndWrite();

and

    backingStore.checkpoint();
    return true;

the channel will not detect an error during replay, but will startup with inflights with correct checksums, but is invalid for the checkpoint.
