A generational journaling data store can synchronize write accesses so that previous generation masters do not corrupt current generation journals. A master maintains a journal and accesses a data store on behalf of clients. When a master disappears a new master must take its place to ensure reliable and continuous access to the data store. Without generations, a previous master can reappear and corrupt journals and data stores. With generations, a newer generation journal can not be corrupted by a previous generation master.
