Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for handling errors in data servers. Generally, embodiments of the invention enable a data packet that is marked as erroneous to be handled so that it is not committed to permanent storage. One or more components are configured to recognize a poisoned data indicator, and to respond to the indicator by taking programmed actions to delete the data, to stop the data from being transmitted, to notify upstream components, and to purge related data from downstream components.
