Trail File Corruption: This is the most common cause. A trail file may be corrupted due to underlying disk issues, filesystem failures, or an abrupt system shutdown that prevented the Extract from properly closing the file. In newer versions, you can leverage built-in recovery

API sketch (pseudocode)

Common Causes (Root Cause Analysis)

| Cause | Probability | Description | |-------|-------------|-------------| | Abnormal process termination | High | Extract or Pump process killed mid-write (kill -9, power failure, OOM killer) | | Filesystem full | Medium-high | Trail file write interrupted because disk filled to 100% | | Network corruption | Medium | NFS or network drive corruption during file transfer | | Manual editing/corruption | Low | Someone opened trail file in text editor or binary modification | | Version mismatch | Low | Reading trail written by newer OGG version with different record structure |
