A method comprises, for the stream of records, receiving the records in succession, logging the records into a log structure (fig 2A), and in response to fulfillment of a pre-defined purging condition diverting (Fig 2B) the logging of the records to a buffer structure, purging the log structure according to a set of purging criteria in response to the diverting, moving the records logged in the buffer structure to the log structure in response to a completion of the purging, and restoring the logging to the log structure in response to a completion of the moving.
