Porting of V2 code. Corresponding behavior will be identical to V2.
Required feature
Dependencies
- admin cluster support
- GMS ( for failure detection notifications )

Add support for --target option for transaction service CLIs: recover-transactions, rollback-transaction, freeze-transaction-service, unfreeze-transaction-service. Corresponding behavior will be identical to V2.
Required feature
Dependencies
- admin cluster support
- admin module changes to support new asadmin parameter
- GMS ( for failure detection notifications )

Replace GMS fencing for locking and storing information about delegated recovery with locks based on the file system and managed by transaction service itself. If implemented, should allow to identify if a delegated recovery was attempted but not completed if the instance that started the delegated recovery crashed before completing the task.
New implementation
Optional feature
Dependencies
- admin cluster support
- GMS ( for failure detection notifications )

Note: This feature is supported in V2 for resource recovery while the server instance is healthy, not for a server crush.
No implementation changes are planed for V3.1
