Patch 620 — Performance improvement of archiver (recorder)

Improves performance of archiver by decreasing the number of calls to open() and close().

The update only affects recorder data.

Currently only Linux and Solaris and AIX is supported.

Patch 610 — Update on archiver: Ignore old recorder data

In the configuration file daft.conf, there can be added an optional object
'archiver.process-threshold.ignore-age()="0"{}'.
The default value is '0'. If this object contains a value other than '0', the archiver will ignore
all records with start age before this age (in days).
Only recorder data are affected.

Memory'.
