Comment (by rhaas):
Is this discussion still useful? Given that we are still waiting for HDF5 journalling support, right now the only viable option is to checkpoint only at terminate (for regular sized runs) and for those runs that are big enough to expect node failures while they are running, write checkpoints multiple times per simfactory segement to pray that corruption does not happen while one has the output file open (so that one does not lose the whole segment).
Basically: since we are actively promoting simfactory which mitigates the problem we are no longer on the hook for fixing hdf5's problems.
