[LDM #HEQ-649192]: LDM fault tolerance

Geoffry,

Information on the last, successfully-received data-product is stored on disk 
by a downstream LDM. It is only "shared", however with the corresponding 
downstream LDM of a subsequent LDM session (e.g., when the LDM is restarted).

The white-paper on our LDM cluster describes multiple LDM "backend" hosts each 
receiving the same data streams. In such a situation, it's not necessary to 
share information on the last, successfully-received product.
