      During recovery oplog application we don't advance the oldest timestamp. This can pin a lot of data in the cache. Resulting symptoms include

      • slow recovery due to resulting cache churn
      • growth of lookaside (cache overflow) table and corresponding file WiredTigerLAS.wt
      • in extreme cases cache-full hangs were observed. This was believed fixed with SERVER-33191, but we should be alert for new occurrences of this issue.
