 *  into a log file. db normally clears the log files during opening of an
 *  environment. since we expect a filesystem server to run for a pretty long
 *  duration and flushing 'log's during dbenv->open would prove very costly, if
 *  we accumulate the log entries for one complete run of glusterfs server. to
 *  flush the logs frequently, db provides a mechanism called 'checkpointing'.
 *  when we do a checkpoint, db flushes the logs to disk (writes changes to db
 *  files) and we can also clear the accumulated log files after checkpointing.
 *  NOTE: removing unwanted log files is not part of dbenv->txn_checkpoint()
 *  call.
 *
 * @data: xlator_t of the current instance of bdb xlator.
 *
 *  bdb_checkpoint is called in a different thread from the main glusterfs
 *  thread. bdb xlator creates the checkpoint thread after successfully opening
 *  the db environment.
 *  NOTE: bdb_checkpoint thread shares the DB_ENV handle with the filesystem
 *  thread.
 *
 *  db environment checkpointing frequency is controlled by
 *  'option checkpoint-timeout <time-in-seconds>' in volfile.
 *
 * NOTE: checkpointing thread is started only if 'option transaction on'
 *      specified in volfile. checkpointing is not valid for non-transactional
 *      environments.
